After a one-year hiatus, the Harvard men's and women's squash teams are back where they belong--on top.
Both Crimson squads blanked Yale 9-0 last night to end their regular seasons with an unblemished 6-0 league mark and clinch their respective Ivy League titles outright.
For the Crimson women, the league championship is the eighth in ten years and 13th overall. The men, meanwhile, now own 33 all-time titles, including ten of the last 11.
The titles are also the first during the tenure of second-year coach Satinder Bajwa.
"Winning itself is always important, but the Ivy League is special because of the tradition here," Bajwa said.
