Ephs fall to Harvard Crimsons

    Williams’ women’s varsity squash team took on Harvard University’s team at the Simon Squash Center courts this past Sunday.   
    “This weekend was a great start to the season. Everyone worked hard and played well,” said junior Arianna Kourides. “With an instrumental plaer coming back in January and another month or two of training, we will be a force to be reckoned with.”
    While the Ephs fought valiantly, they couldn’t hold off the Harvard Crimsons. Rather, the team lost 7-2, with top player Toby Eyre winning by default due to an injury and the Ephs’ number nine player, Kavitha Mannava winning in three games. Senior and co-captain Ashley Eyre took opponent Alisha Mashruwala to four games by beating her in the third with a score of 9-0.
    Head Coach Zafi Levy said of the match, “We played a very strong Harvard side today. I think the girls worked hard despite being tired from the match yesterday against Stanford. We have many young players in our line-up who keep getting better week by week. I think we will have some great success later on this season.”
