Harvard Women
Not so for the Harvard women's squash team, who was more than happy to add an Ivy League title to its Howe Cup victory for good measure.
Last night's decision was never in doubt as the Crimson did not drop a single game through its first four matches.
Freshman Ashley Harmeling, sophomore Ella Witcher, and juniors Margaret Elias and Colby Hall all paced the Crimson at the outset with easy victories.
When rookie phenom Louisa Hall--the Crimson's No. 1 player and Colby's younger sister--stepped onto the court, Harvard needed just one more win to clinch the title.
As it turned out, Harvard got that and then some.
Hall made quick work of Yale's Catherine Fiederowicz in three sets to clinch the league title. After falling behind 4-0 in the first game, Hall rallied back to win it 9-5, and then had just one point scored on her in the remainder of the match.
