Roadkill: Squash Runs Over Hopeless Trinity

Men (8-1) and Women (9-0) Cruise to Easy Win

The Trinity men's and women's squash teams came to Hemenway Gym yesterday to face their powerhouse Harvard counterparts.

They should have stayed home.

The Holy Trinity would have had trouble beating the squads from Cambridge; Hartford's finest simply had no chance.

Both Harvard squash teams whomped Trinity: the men, 8-1, and the women, 9-0.

"We thought we would have the upper hand," women's Associate Coach Christina Brownell said. "Yet, we were missing two key players, so we were a little worried."

Please. A little worried? Let's be honest, this one was a no-brainer.

The question wasn't whether the Crimson could win, but more like whether it would lose a match.

Sparked by a complete team effort, the women did not lose a match.

In fact, they only lost four total games!

"I thought the women played great squash," Harvard Coach Bill Doyle said."We have been preparing for Trinity all fall, and today we but it all together."

The scary part about the women's victory--at least if you're on Harvard's schedule--is that the Johnnies were missing two of their top players.

Juniors Polly Butler and Jordanna Fraiberg are abroad this semester and will not join the team until January. Once they return, look for Harvard to roll--steamroll.

We're talking heavy construction equipment here.

"If we stay healthy, we can play with anyone in the country," Doyle said.

On the men's side, the Crimson turned in another one of its ho-hum, typically dominating performances which are quickly turning ridiculous. Would someone find a decent opponent for this team?
