Squash Takes 10th Straight Little Three Title

The Williams men’s sqash team wrapped up the regular season with authority against Little Three rivals Wesleyan and Amherst this weekend.

Seniors George Miller, Cameron Henry, and Bucky Marshall all played well in their final Little Three contests. Miller had the honor of playing number one in the morning against Wesleyan, beating his opponent Broadfoot in three. George then played his typical solid squash against Amherst captain Jerome Giovinazzo, taking him down in three also.

Cameron Henry dominated Fowles at number five allowing three points and leaving little room for improvement against Amherst, Henry, not being one to take a rivalry lightly, stepped his game up to play a perfect match against Kevin Cecala. Henry yielded a miserly 3 points all weekend.

Against both Amherst and Wesleyan Bucky Marshall played very patient squash, simply wearing his opponents down in the first game before steam rolling them in the second and third.

Ethan Buchsbaum also had a notable performance only yielding one point to Amherst number one Drew Blacker, thoroughly avenging his loss to Blacker in the regular season last year.

The Ephs are gearing up for a tough week of training in preparation for Nationals at Princeton in two weeks.
