Wave Squash Beats Greenwich, 1-1 on the Season

Darien High School’s Boys Varsity Squash team took on Greenwich High School at Chelsea Piers on Wednesday the 18th in the second matchup of the season. The Blue Wave was looking to bounce back after last week’s upset loss against Bronxville High School.

Though the Wave was without #1 freshman Harrison Gill, who sustained an injury in a US Open tournament, the depth of the team was unbeatable. Sophomore Connor Wind and senior Zach Basu, who played in the #2 and #5 spots, respectively, remained undefeated on the season, both winning their matches in a three set clean sweep. Sophomore Toby Hansford, freshman Walker Wind, and senior James Teschner all chalked up their first wins of the season. Senior Andrew Morgan tested his Greenwich opponent in a nail-biting five set match, coming up just short. Fortunately for the Wave, the loss didn’t matter as the team won by a final score of 5 games to 2.

Senior captain Zach Basu said of the match, “The fact that we were able to win without a lot of our key players is a testament to the depth of the team.” Underclassmen make up the majority of the top 5 so the future is bright for Blue Wave squash.

Darien’s next matchup will be on January 1st at Chelsea Piers against rival New Canaan High School.
