Around the Courts: College Squash Highlights (2/13/2011)

0

Northampton, MA — With less than a week until the Women’s National Team Championships (Howe Cup), and with the Men’s National Team Championships right around the corner, the college squash action is heating up.

All teams that competed this weekend MUST record their match scores as soon as possible in the US Squash Database. If scores are not reported, it is impossible to rank teams accurately, and penalties, including possible removal from the rankings, will occur.

Play at the Women’s National Team Championships will start Friday morning at Princeton University. This weekend was the last opportunity for many teams to try to move up the rankings.

The weekend got off to an exciting start with two close matches: Wellesley’s 5-4 win over Boston College, and Amherst’s 5-4 win over Mount Holyoke. Thirteenth-ranked Amherst and fifteenth-ranked Mount Holyoke could potentially face each other again in the Kurtz Cup (“B” Division) competition, while Wellesley (#28) and BC (#29) may meet again in the Epps Cup (“D” Division).

On Saturday, number two Yale’s 5-4 upset of top-ranked Harvard ended the defending national champion’s winning streak, which went back to the beginning of last season. With that win, Yale secured the 2011 Ivy League title.

Another 5-4 upset came further south, with Johns Hopkins’ win over Virginia. Coming into the weekend the Blue Jays were ranked thirty-third and the Cavaliers were ranked thirty-second.

While thirtieth-ranked Georgetown did not defeat F&M, the Hoyas did have a strong 6-3 showing against the Diplomats. Georgetown’s three wins came at the bottom of the ladder.

For the men, a number of club teams were busy this weekend, tuning up for nationals. Johns Hopkins had a successful Saturday, defeating Drexel, Virginia, and Georgetown, a match that was decided 5-4. Washington in St. Louis wrapped up their first-ever regular season campaign with 9-0 victory over Purdue, finishing up with a 5-1 record.

After a 4-5 loss to Colgate on Friday, Northwestern rebounded with a 5-4 upset of Northeastern. On Sunday, Colgate defeated Northeastern 6-3. Northeastern had been ranked thirtieth, while Colgate was thirty-second and Northwestern was thirty-fifth before the weekend.

Earlier in the week, Cornell gave Rochester a scare, falling a match short of upsetting the Yellowjackets. Rochester lost 1-8 to Princeton on Saturday but beat Penn 7-2 on Sunday.

Princeton and Trinity played on Sunday, and the Bantams came away with a closely contested 6-3 win.

Yale’s 7-2 win over Harvard on Saturday made it a Bulldog sweep of the 2011 Ivy League titles.

Wesleyan evened their season series against Columbia with a 5-4 win. The Lions had defeated the Cardinals earlier in the season at the Pioneer Valley Invitational.

Coaches, Team Contacts, and SIDs may nominate players to be the [hpow] by contacting Michael T. Bello. Nominations are due each Monday by 6 PM ET.

Yale Women Topple Harvard to Take Ivy Crown

0

Cambridge, MA — Yale upset the top-ranked Harvard women 5-4 to win the Ivy League title. The Crimson are the defending national champions and hadn’t lost a match since the 2009 Howe Cup final, when they lost 4-5 to Princeton.

The match came down to the number 7 contest between Yale’s Caroline Reigeluth and Harvard’s Sarah Mumanachit. Reigeluth won 11-7 in the fifth game to seal the victory for the Bulldogs. Millie Tomlinson, Sarah Toomey, Kimberley Hay, and Alexandra Van Arkel also won for Yale.

Both teams came into the match undefeated. The Yale women, currently ranked second in the nation, now improve to 14-0, while Harvard ends the regular season with a 9-1 record.

2011 Men’s College Squash Skillman Award Nominees

0

Northampton, MA — The Skillman Award is given annually to a senior men’s squash player who has demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship during his entire college career. It is the “Heisman Trophy” of men’s college squash.

Coaches consult with their teams and vote on the candidates at the coaches’ meeting at the Men’s National Team Championships.

This year, there are four outstanding candidates for the Skillman Award (listed alphabetically):

Hameed Ahmed (University of Rochester): Ahmed has been part of the transformation of squash at the University of Rochester. Prior to his arrival on campus, the team finished the 2006 – 2007 season ranked 16th. Currently, the Yellowjackets are ranked 4th in the nation. Despite a chronic back injury, Ahmed, a three-year captain, has twice earned Second Team All-American honors. According to Rochester coach Martin Heath, “as he prepares to leave college and embark on working life, Hameed is a great advert for the diversity, academic excellence, leadership, team spirit, and sportsmanship that our collegiate squash experience strives towards.”

Adrian Leanza (Brown University): Fitness is the secret to Leanza’s squash game. He taught himself to play squash as a teenager in Colorado. His fitness and strength allow him to stay on court for hours. Brown coach Stuart leGassick reports that recently a match spectator was overheard saying of the triple major, “Goodness – how does he find time to study if he plays rallies this long?” The senior captain simply enjoys playing squash. Win or lose, Leanza’s demeanor on or off the court remains calm. His poise when confronted with ungentlemanly opponents is remarkable; he simply smiles and looks at the referee to see what should happen.

David Letourneau (Princeton University): Letourneau, an aerospace and mechanical engineering major, is Princeton’s captain. In his four years at Princeton, he has received the honor of being named twice named to the All-Ivy team, a Second Team All- American, and twice a First-Team All American. Letourneau enjoys interacting with his opponents. He is often found talking with opposing teams before, during, and after a big team match. “In my thirty years of playing and coaching squash, I have never met anyone who so epitomizes the ideals we preach each day to our kids – sportsmanship, fair play, respect for the opponent, effort, honesty, friendship, and love of the game,” says Princeton coach Bob Callahan.

Parth Sharma (Trinity College): Sharma, an economics major, has been a quiet but respected leader on the 12-time Men’s National Team Champion Trinity College team. During his four-year career, he has amassed an individual record of 65-5 and been named a First Team All-American three times. According to Trinity coach Paul Assaiante, “He is the quiet leader of our team, the first one in and the last one out daily. His understanding of the game is profound, and he has helped me with the daily practice organization for four years.”
