Just in case winning two national titles in her first collegiate squash season wasn’t enough, Harvard freshman Laura Gemmell was the obvious candidate for one more honor. This morning, the College Squash Association named her a first-team All-American, an accolade that Gemmell easily deserved after finishing her campaign with a perfect 16-0 record.

Gemmell was not the only member of the national champion women’s squash team to be honored. Four of her upperclassmen teammates were named to the second team: co-captain Johanna Snyder, juniors Alisha Mashruwala and June Tiong, and sophomore Nirasha Guruge.

Guruge and Mashruwala have both been All-Americans in each of their college seasons, with Guruge earning her second straight selection and Mashruwala earning her third.

For a team that has already won the CSA National Championship, the Ivy Title, and the Barhite Award, which recognizes the team with the best dual record in the country, these All-America honors are just icing on a very big, yummy cake.
