Amherst, MA — Amherst will be the site of the 2011-2012 Individual Championships, and the Davenport Squash Courts have been upgraded with new maple floors and new scoreboards. However, the Jeffs aren’t content to wait until March for championship action; coach Peter Robson has the team aiming for the top of the B Division.
Amherst has lost a group of accomplished senior players: Hayley Milbourn, Allie Dalglish, Mimi Bell, and Caitlin Demkin, who together collected an impressive collection of NESCAC and CSA awards for their athletics, academics, and sportsmanship.
Lawrenceville’s Arielle Lehman and Chapin’s Martha Reiser will join a squad that Robson describes as having “great team chemistry.” Lehman and Reiser are expected to play in the top 6 and should have an impact right away.
