2016-2017 Dunlop Women’s College Squash Team Rankings (1/29/2017)

This is the first week of computerized ranking. Earlier this week, an article explaining the computerized ranking methodology was published.

As part of the computerized rankings, the College Squash Association will rank varsity and club teams that have played at least five matches utilizing the Elo ranking methodology. If needed, the Ranking Chair may adjust a non-varsity team’s ranking position.

Cornell’s 6-3 victory over Columbia helped move the Big Red into the 7th ranking position.

After having their first losses of the season over the weekend, Tufts fell one position to 19th.

William Smith moved ahead of St. Lawrence after the Herons’ 5-4 victory on Saturday.

Teams are reminded that to qualify for the National Team Championships, they must meet minimum match requirements:

• Varsity teams are required to play ten (10) matches against other CSA teams to enter team championships. At minimum, each team should have at least 6 different opponents. Varsity teams should play the majority of their matches against other varsity schools.
