PRINCETON, N.J. -- Playing in the Kurtz Division of the Howe Cup,
featuring the teams ranked eighth through 16th by the College Squash
Association, #16 Tufts women's squash team lost three matches and
finished its team season with a #16 ranking and a 9-12 record. At
Princeton for the weekend, Coach Doug Eng's Jumbos
fell 9-0 to #8 Williams in the first round on Friday, then lost 8-1
to #12 Bowdoin on Saturday in the loser's bracket and completed
tournament play with a 6-3 loss to #15 Hamilton on Sunday.
On Friday, Tufts was unable to win a game against Williams. Sophomore Laura
Curren (Middletown, RI) lost her first game in the #4 match 10-8,
and first-year Valerie Koo (Hong Kong) lost 9-7 in the second
game of her #5 match. That was the best that Tufts could muster against
the talented Ephs.
Bowdoin was equally strong on Saturday, dominating the Jumbos except for the #9
match. First-year Allison Dempsey (Concord, MA) went five games
to own the only Tufts victory at the Howe Cup so far. Down 1-0 early and
a 9-1 loser in the fourth game, she scored the victory with a 9-3 final
in the fifth.
The Jumbos got three wins in the middle of the order on Sunday
against Hamilton. Curren won her match at #4 in straight games. Both
sophomore Stephanie Marx (Cos Cob, CT) at #3 and Koo at #5 went
four games for victory. Both built 2-0 leads before slipping in the
third game, but finished strongly in the fourth.
