Student Wins Squash Championship

For the second year in a row, Westminster can boast about having a national champion among its ranks. Laila Samy ’14 won the U.S. Junior Open Squash Championships U17 division held in Boston Dec. 15-18. After being pushed to four games in the semifinals, Laila was dominant during the final round, winning the match in three games (2,5,6). Players from 20 counties participated in the tournament, which is the largest junior tournament in the world.
 
Laila is in her first year at Westminster. She follows in the footsteps of fellow countryman and Martlet Ahmed Abdel Khalek ’12 who was both a U.S. Junior Champion and undefeated during his career at Westminster. Both Laila and Ahmed hail from Egypt, and as Ahmed took Westminster squash to a new level, Laila seems destined to do the same.
