Boys and Girls Squash Teams Compete at Poly Prep Invitational Tournament

By Mary Lawrence Huffman

On Saturday, December 3rd, the Boys and Girls Squash Teams had their season opener at the Poly Prep Invitational Tournament in Brooklyn.  Seniors captain for the girls team Mia Dursht said, “We played two very strong teams right away, with our only win coming from freshman Schuyler Coughlin, our number five player.  Our final match was against Brearley and it came down to the final match that went to a fifth game.  We ended up winning that one 4-3 to get our first win of the season which was really exciting.”  Senior captain for the boys team Walker Wind said, “Our team did really well and we are very happy that we got second place and beat the second best public school team in the process which was great.  We had some really good showings throughout the ladder, with senior Harrison Gill at the top and strong performances from juniors Dillon O’Shea and Albert Nguyen.”  The Girls Squash Team’s next match is against Rye on Monday, December 19th at 8:30PM at Chelsea Piers.  The Boys Squash Team’s next match is against Bronxville on Wednesday, December 21th at 7:00PM at Chelsea Piers.
