Week 3 of the CSA season brought another thrilling slate of competition, with 42 matches showcasing the depth and talent across collegiate squash. As teams prepare to break for Thanksgiving, they left it all on the courts in a final push to solidify their standings before the holiday pause.

Among the standout performances, the Columbia men’s and women’s teams held firm against Tufts, fending off the Jumbos’ determined advances in a series of hard-fought matches. Meanwhile, Navy embarked on a challenging northern swing through Maine, facing Bates, Colby, and Bowdoin. The highlight of this trip was the CSA Match of the Week, where Colby narrowly edged Navy in a nail-biting 5-4 victory that kept spectators on the edge of their seats.

Stanford added intrigue to the week by traveling to the East Coast to launch their season against Cornell, Williams, and Columbia. In other action, Haverford’s men’s and women’s squads made a statement, taking down Connecticut College in decisive fashion and climbing the rankings as a result. Tufts and Rochester battled it out in a neutral-site showdown in New York City, with Tufts prevailing 6-3 in a tightly contested match. Meanwhile, Princeton hosted Drexel at their incredible new facility, providing a showcase for top-tier squash and competitive spirit.

With Thanksgiving on the horizon, the upcoming week will be a quiet one for CSA play, offering players a well-deserved break. However, fans can look forward to a packed schedule following the holiday, as teams return to the courts ready to build on the excitement of the season’s opening weeks.
