2012-2013 Dunlop Women’s College Squash Team Rankings (1/13/2013)

There is a new top-ranked team in the nation, Princeton. The Tigers defeated Harvard, 5-4, to gain the top position.  With many upcoming head-to-head match-ups, the teams in the top five ranking positions will be jockeying for position going into team championships.

Wesleyan assumes the 17th ranking position after a December victory over Mount Holyoke.

Colgate was removed from the rankings due to “Not on Roster” players in their match results. They received multiple warnings. They will reenter the rankings in the ranking cycle after they enter the players in the US Squash scoring system for the matches with “Not on Roster” players.
