While some of the top performers for the Crimson were underclassmen, Harvard’s roster boasts both youth and experience.

“They come in and they are new to college squash,” Kingshott said. “I really enjoy imparting my knowledge having played four years [of college] already.”

At the same time, the co-captain is quick to acknowledge the impressive level of play of the younger members on the team.

“They bring their own unique insight to the game because they have competed at such high levels already,” Kingshott said. “It just creates a wonderful dynamic on the team, so it is really exciting to be a part of.”

Despite facing the nation’s best players, the Crimson managed to end its season on a high note.

“The level of college squash has definitely improved over the past few years, and all the players are getting better,” Sobhy said. “It was great to see everyone play so well.”

While Sobhy was a force for Harvard at No. 1 all season long, Mendez’s and Michelle Gemmell’s strong performances displayed the depth of the Crimson’s roster.

“[Mendez and Gemmell] approached this weekend like professionals, and they are the perfect examples of athletes who are focused and determined,” Kingshott said. “It is just so gratifying to see [them] rewarded so well.”
