The Harvard women’s squash team took one more step towards its goal of repeating as national champions this season, as the top-ranked Crimson beat both Yale and Brown this weekend to finish the regular season undefeated and claim sole ownership of the Ivy League title. With the wins, the Harvard women earned their 19th conference title and went unbeaten for the thirteenth time in program history.

After a 7-2 win over Yale (15-3, 5-2 Ivy) ensured the Crimson (12-0, 7-0) at least a share of the trophy, it was Sunday’s match against 10th-ranked Brown (10-7, 0-7) that left Harvard alone at the top of the standings. The Crimson cruised to a 9-0 win over the Bears to clinch the Ivy title in its last match before the national tournament in two weeks.

“It’s a huge deal for me as a senior,” co-captain Natasha Anzik said. “I couldn’t really ask for a better end of the season so far. I know for me and Georgie Brinkley it was actually our last match in college squash today, so it was a bittersweet day for sure, but I couldn’t be happier, and couldn’t ask for a better group of girls to share that with.”

HARVARD 9, BROWN 0

In Sunday’s match against Brown, Harvard was in complete control from the start. The Crimson ran the table against its last opponent of the regular season, dropping only one game in the entire match to earn a commanding 9-0 win.

“Brown is ranked tenth, so they’re a little bit lower down the order, but we wanted to not get too confident,” Anzik said. “Our plan was just to go out and play our squash, because the way we’ve been playing, we can definitely be competitive with any team out there right now. It was just about keeping it simple and staying consistent.”

Junior Amanda Sobhy led the way in the top position, easily dispatching Brown’s Dori Rabhar with scores of 11-4, 11-4, and 11-0. Freshman Katie Tutrone also blew through her match in the second position, as she took down Sarah Domenick in three sets.

“My girl was pretty solid; she was a good player,” Tutrone said. “I had played her as a junior, so it was fun playing her again, but it wasn’t too hard. None of the matches really were, but I was just really happy afterward to have a win because it was the last match of the regular season.”
