Best Squash So Far This Season Isn't Enough
The girls played their last match before the High School Nationals, where they will be the second seed in Division 3. Their opponents, the Bearcats, will be the top seed in Division 2, so the Martlets would have been decided underdogs even if they hadn't been without their No. 1 and No. 4 players. Unfazed by the strength of their opponents and the need for everyone to play up a spot or two, the girls put up a great fight in a 7-0 loss. In the first round, Ellie Bailey '21 played long rallies and played some of her best squash in a 2, 1, 4 defeat at No. 2. Rebecca Sargent '20 got a bit more traction, using tenacious defense and deft shotmaking to hang tough on her 7, 3, 7 loss at No. 4. Eve Cathcart '20 came the closest to a victory, storming back from two down with aggressive volleying and a clever mix of short and long before falling just short at No. 6: 2, 3, (6), (6), 9. In round two, Annabel Bradley '19 needed just a bit more firepower at No. 7 (5, 8, 6); Georgia Swank '19 could not solve the deft shotmaking of her opponent at No. 5 (1, 5, 5); try as she might, Natalie Fay '19 could not run down every shot at No. 3 (7, 0, 5). Perhaps the most inspiring play came from Kaylee Hunt '20 at No. 1. Absorbing pressure and seizing her opportunities to attack, she took the first game, but could not find quite enough openings to prevail in a tight match ((5), 7, 10, 9). This effort should provide an excellent boost going into the weekend.
