The Harvard Squash teams played a competitive Dartmouth team last night on the Barnaby Courts at the Murr Center. The Crimson completely dominated play, easily defeating the Big Green in preparation for a serious showdown against arch-rival Trinity, one of the best squash teams in the country.
The Crimson women (4-0, 3-0 Ivy) defeated Dartmouth (6-4, 0-2) by the score of 9-0. The Crimson won eight of its nine matches by the score of three games to none.
No. 1 Harvard was led by freshman Louisa Hall playing in the first spot and co-captains Margaret Elias and Virginia Brown.
The Crimson was already looking ahead to the challenge posed by Trinity even as it dispatched Dartmouth.
"We took this match very seriously," Elias said. "But everything we're doing right now is in preparation for Trinity."
Trinity, as the No. 3 team in the country, poses a serious challenge to the Crimson.
"It's gonna be close," Elias said. "Trinity is very good."
Brown was not expecting the Crimson to roll over Trinity with the same authority that it employed against Dartmouth, winning eight of the nine matches in three games.
