Cambridge, MA — Due to the snowstorm, a number of matches were cancelled or rescheduled, but a few teams played into the late afternoon. Check the brackets page for changes to match times and locations.

A Division (Howe Cup): Earlier in the afternoon, Harvard and Trinity advanced to the Howe Cup finals. Because George Washington withdrew from the tournament, Yale automatically advanced to the consolation finals. The Bulldogs will play Cornell, who handily defeated A Division newcomers Columbia, 8-1. The 7th/8th-place playoff match has been cancelled.

B Division (Kurtz Cup): Dartmouth and Stanford will play for the B Division title tomorrow, and Brown and Williams will compete for 11th place in the nation. The other B Division matches have been cancelled.

C Division (Walker Cup): Virginia and Wellesley squeezed in their final match this afternoon. The Cavaliers defeated the Blue, 7-2, to claim 7th place in the C Division and 23rd overall. Bowdoin and Amherst will play for the Walker Cup tomorrow. Bowdoin won the C Division in 2013, and Amherst won last year.

D Division (Epps Cup): William Smith will play Tufts for the Epps Cup. The Jumbos advanced to the final first, dispatching Connecticut College 8-1. William Smith almost didn’t make it to the final: Mount Holyoke put up stiff competition, but the Herons still managed to prevail, 5-4.

E Division: Dickinson won’t be leaving their first trip to the National Team Championships empty-handed. The E Division teams decided to play their final immediately after the semifinals. Dickinson had advanced with a win over Washington University in St. Louis, and Northwestern had beaten Vassar to reach the final. The Wildcats had success in the middle of the ladder, winning at #3, #4, and #5, but the Red Devils took the match by winning at the top and bottom. The final score was Dickinson 6, Northwestern 3.

F Division: The F Division round robin concluded Saturday afternoon. Boston University finished the tournament with a strong 8-1 win over NYU. The match between Northeastern and Minnesota was much closer. The two teams only played eight matches, and they tied with four wins apiece. Northeastern won 15 games to Minnesota’s 13, so the Huskies were the winners.

Cambridge, MA — The excitement picked up this afternoon as the snow began to fly at the Women’s National Team Championships. Defending champions Trinity and top-seeded Harvard will meet in the 2015 Howe Cup final, a rematch from last year’s championship.

A Division (Howe Cup): The Howe Cup semifinals delivered the drama. Given that Trinity had beaten Penn 5-4 during the regular season, it had looked like those two teams were destined for a nail-biter. But the closeness of the Harvard-Princeton match was something of a surprise. When Harvard played Princeton in January, the Crimson had won 7-2 — at Princeton.  Top-seeded Harvard was back at home, and the last time the Crimson had hosted the Women’s National Team Championships, they had marched to the national title.  But going into the final flight of matches, the Tigers were up 4-2, a match away from a trip to the national championship final. Wins from Amanda Sobhy at #1 and Michelle Gemmell at #4 helped the Crimson even the score at 4-all, and all eyes turned to the #7 match between Harvard sophomore Dileas MacGowan and  Princeton junior Tara Harrington. MacGowan roared out to a lead and took the first game 11-5, followed by a decisive 11-3 win in the second. Harrington came back with renewed focus in the third and looked like she had the edge over MacGowan. The Crimson sophomore hung on to take the game to tie-breakers, ultimately winning 13-11.

Going into the final flight of matches, Trinity and Penn were tied 3-all. The Bantams had wins at #5, #8, and #9, while the Quakers took #2, #3, and #6. Penn’s Melissa Alves won at #4, and Trinity’s Kanzy El Defrawy won at #1 to keep the score even at 4-all. The match came down to the #7 contest between Trinity senior co-captain Natalie Babjukova and Penn junior Camille Lanier. Bajukova took the first game, and Lanier came back to take the next two, winning the fourth in tie-breakers. Babjukova’s short game clicked in the fourth game, and her 11-7 win took to the match the five games. Up 9-2, it looked like Bajukova had the match in her hands, but Lanier wasn’t done. She climbed back, chipping away at Babjukova’s lead point by point. The Trinity senior wasn’t having it, and she pumped her fist in joy when she sealed the 11-6 win.

Last year’s championship final between Trinity and Harvard was a thriller, coming down to the final match. Tomorrow’s match promises to be a great one.

B Division (Kurtz Cup): Dartmouth and Stanford, the top two seeds in the B Division, advanced to the Kurtz Cup final. Dartmouth commanded the middle of the order against Williams, taking #4 through #6 in three games each. Wins at #1, #7, #8, and #3 — a five-game victory by Lydie McKenzie over Williams’ Ellie O’Neill — sent the Big Green into C Division final. The final score was Dartmouth 7, Williams 2. Brown made Stanford work hard for their 6-3 win. The Cardinal swept the top five matches, but the #4 and #5 matches both went to five games. Brown senior tri-captain Katherine Elliott-Moskwa won the #6 match in five games, but in the end, Stanford took the team win with six matches to the Bears’ three. Tomorrow’s matches in the consolation bracket have been cancelled due to the weather.

C Division (Walker Cup): Amherst was the first team to advance to the Walker Cup final. While the Jeffs won 7-2, Colby put up a fight; six of the matches went past three games. Bowdoin swept the first flight of matches in their semifinal against Hamilton and didn’t look back, clinching a spot in the final before the second flight was over. Tomorrow’s consolation final and the 19th/20th-place playoff match have been cancelled.

D Division (Epps Cup): Boston College and Georgetown were closely matched in the D Division consolation semifinals, but the Eagles pulled out the 5-4 win over the Hoyas. Johns Hopkins prevailed over Haverford in the other consolation semifinal. The Blue Jays’ win was the last in the consolation bracket, as Sunday’s D Division consolation matches have been cancelled.

E Division: Dickinson has been making the most of their first trip to the Women’s National Team Championships. The CSA’s newest varsity program defeated Wash U 8-1 in the E Division semifinals. After Rochester withdrew from the tournament, Smith College advanced to the consolation semifinals, where they defeated Colgate.

F Division: The F Division round robin was scheduled to continue later this afternoon.

Cambridge, MA — Clear skies greeted the squash teams playing in Boston early this morning, but clouds from the impending snow storm soon moved in. The morning’s action featured consolation semifinals in the B and C Divisions and round robin play in the F Division.

A Division (Howe Cup): The Harvard-Princeton and Penn-Trinity semifinals are scheduled for 1:30 pm this afternoon.

B Division (Kurtz Cup): Middlebury clinched early in their consolation semifinal against Bates. The Panthers swept the first and second flights of matches, taking most in three games; Bates tri-captain Chloe Mitchell pushed Middlebury first year Liddy Renner to five games, but Renner prevailed 11-8 in the fifth. The F&M and Drexel match was one of the closer matches of the early morning, with several contests going to four or five games. Only a few points separated Drexel’s Kaitlyn Money and F&M’s Dulakshi Elikewela throughout their five-game match, but Money held on to win 11-9 in the fifth. Drexel ultimately won the team match 8-1. Drexel and Middlebury will play in the consolation finals tomorrow.

C Division (Walker Cup): Both C Division semifinals were decided by the end of second round of matches, as Wesleyan and St. Lawrence   both tallied the five matches to advance to the consolation finals. Wesleyan defeated Virginia, 8-1, and St. Lawrence defeated Wellesley, 8-1.

D Division (Epps Cup): The first D Division match of the day will be the consolation semifinal between Boston College and Georgetown.

E Division: All E Division matches are scheduled for this afternoon.

F Division: NYU and Northeastern proved to be evenly matched. In the first round, NYU’s Juliana Mascolo and Northeastern’s Elena Roffel battled through five competitive games; Mascolo won 11-9 in the fifth. After the first two rounds of matches, the two teams were tied 3-3. The Huskies took the first two matches in the final round to clinch the match. Boston University, on the other hand, quickly sewed up a victory over Minnesota. The Terriers won 9-0.

Cambridge, MA — Most higher seeds prevailed in this afternoon’s matches, with some shake-ups in the E Division.

A Division (Howe Cup): Both 2:15 matches featured Howe Cup newcomers: George Washington and Columbia. The Colonials, last season’s Kurtz Cup winners, made their Howe Cup debut against Harvard. The Crimson won, 9-0. Penn, the 2015 Ivy League champions, defeated Columbia, the 2014 Kurtz Cup finalists, 9-0. Tomorrow’s match-ups for the semifinals will be top-seeded Harvard versus Princeton and Penn versus defending national champions Trinity. The Bantams edged out the Quakers, 5-4, when the two teams met in January, so expect another competitive match tomorrow. George Washington will play Yale in one consolation semifinal, and Columbia will play Cornell in the other.

B Division (Kurtz Cup): In the 2:15 matches, Dartmouth, the 9th-ranked squad, defeated 16th-ranked Bates, 6-3. In their first-ever meeting, Stanford defeated Drexel, 7-2.

The consolation semifinals will feature Bates versus Middlebury, a match-up of two northern New England schools, and Drexel versus F&M, two Pennsylvania-based squads.

C Division (Walker Cup): Tomorrow’s Walker Cup semifinal matches will feature Amherst versus Colby and Bowdoin versus Hamilton. The matches will be played at 11:15 AM and 1:30 PM. The consolation semifinals will begin at 9:00 AM. Wellesley will face St. Lawrence, and Wesleyan will play Virginia.

D Division (Epps Cup): William Smith last won the Epps Cup in 2013, and after the quarterfinals, the Herons kept their hopes of reclaiming the D Division title alive by sweeping Boston College. The Herons will face Mount Holyoke tomorrow; the Lyons recorded a decisive 8-1 victory over Boston College. Tufts and Conn College each advanced to the semis with a 7-2 win. The Jumbos took down Haverford, and the Camels beat Johns Hopkins. Tufts and Conn have already played each other three times this season — twice in the last two weeks — and Tufts leads the season series 2-1. The pairings in the consolation semifinals are Georgetown-Boston College and Haverford-Johns Hopkins.

E Division: Bucknell’s withdrawal from the tournament ensured that Wash U would advance to the E Division semifinals, where they will play CSA newcomers Dickinson. The Red Devils made the most of their national team championships debut by sweeping Colgate. Vassar also advanced to the semifinals with a win over Rochester. The Brewers, who are returning to the tournament after not fielding a team last season, will play Northwestern in the semifinals. The Wildcats sent Smith into the consolations with a 7-2 win.

B Division (Kurtz Cup): Two Kurtz Cup matches began at noon. NESCAC rivals Williams and Middlebury met in the match up of 12th- and 13th-ranked teams.

The Diplomats were unable to capture their first win over Brown since 1993, losing 3-6.
