Women

Last year, the women's squash team struggled on occasion after losing five of its top nine players from the 1998-99 season, struggling to a fourth-place finish in the Howe Cup, the women's national championship.

The Crimson lost the Ivy League title to rival Penn and fell to both Penn and Trinity in the national championships.

This year is already looking bright for the women as they entered the Ivy scrimmages with a No. 3 preseason ranking but emerged from a weekend of competition with the No. 1 ranking. And unlike last year, the Crimson return all but two team members.

The two pivotal players for the Crimson will likely be junior captain Margaret Elias and freshman Louisa Hall. Elias manned the No. 1 spot for the Crimson last year and garnered All-American honors. Hall, the gem of Bajwa's recruiting class, is the best junior player in America and among the best in the world.
