Squash Dawgs win
1, lose 5 at Navy
(Posted Dec 4th, 2011) The UW
Husky undergraduate squash team traveled to Annapolis, Maryland
over the Veterans’ Day weekend to compete in the Navy Round
Robin, coming away with one victory in six matches. However,
the team remained undaunted as the five losses were all in
matches where a win would have been a big upset.
The UW went into the matches
ranked 40th in
the College Squash Association poll (includes both club and
varsity programs) out of 65 teams. The Dawgs were spanked by
Navy, a top 20 team, by 9-0. Swarthmore, ranked #46, took the
match at number one where Husky Johann Huang lost a tough
four-gamer, but lost the other 8, giving the team an 8-1 win.
Losses to Kenyon, Georgetown,
Drexel and Johns Hopkins all came by identical 7-2 scores.
Outstanding performances were
turned in at the #1 and #2 spots by sophomore Johann Huang (3-3
on the weekend) and junior Jack Burgess (4-2 on the weekend).
Burgess has given the team a big lift as he spends his junior
year at UW instead of his home University of Sussex in England
where he plays #1 for their team.
Next up for the Squash Dawgs are
Stanford, Cal, USC and Notre Dame at the West Coast Round Robin,
Stanford, California in January.

Amanda Sobhy (NY) finished off a stellar 2010 by defeating
fellow American and defending champion Olvia Blatchford (CT) in
three straight games, 11-9,11-7, 11-4, to capture the GU19 title
at the 2010 U.S. Junior Open Squash Championships in Cambridge,
MA. Sobhy's win capped off a remarkable showing by the U.S.
girls as they took home the top prize in every age division.
The GU17 division final proved to be the most competitive as
Olivia Fiechter (PA) rebounded from a two game deficit to beat
Maria Elena Ubina (CT) in five games,7-11, 11-13, 12-10, 11-4,
11-5.
Reeham Sedky (WA)
prevented a Sobhy double as she took home the GU15 crown by
defeating Amanda Sobhy's younger sister Sabrina in the final,
11-9, 11-8, 12-10.
Helen Teegan (WA)
stopped Jessica Yacobucci (CT) in three straight, 18-16, 11-4,
11-2, for the GU13 top spot while
Elena Wagenmans (WA)
got by Elle Ruggiero (PA), 11-9, 11-3, 11-9, winning the GU11
title.
Sallem Khan (WA)
had the top finish for the U.S. boys, reaching the BU13 final
before losing to Egyptian Mohamed El Shamy in a four game final,
11-7, 10-12, 11-2, 12-10.
Washington State Open
The squash
action at the Washington State Open at the Tacoma Center YMCA
was fast, furious and a plenty. I think all players
played between 3 and 5 matches and we squeezed all of those
matches into 2-days. Congratulations to this season's
champions
Ronn McMahon and Debby Mumm-Felnagle.
Thank you to
the Tacoma YMCA for being such a gracious host and a special
thanks goes out to our sponsors and supporters:
Feather Squash, MAC Awards, and T-Town Apparel.
Seattle Squash League
Venue:
Puget Sound Region
Team
Applications Due: September 26th
Team formation:
Captains, start getting your teams together - you can use the
League Blog
to help you find or form a team. If you haven't played league
before and are interested in joining, check out the
league info page,
and then start looking around for a team.
Timing:
The sign-up process will kick off in early September, and league
play will start in early October. I'll send out a mail in
September with the sign-up info.
Scoring:
In last year's league survey, HiHo9 scoring came out a clear
winner over Par11; I plan to stick with HiHo9 for this season as
well, though we'll also keep the policy of allowing PAR11 for
individual matches if both players prefer it. If you feel
strongly that we should move to PAR11 overall then please let me
know, and if there are enough voices in favor then I'll redo the
survey.
Juniors:
The current policy is that only 2 juniors can play on a given
team, and must be at least 13 years old. I've had requests to
both lower and raise the limit, and am currently looking into
this. Again, if you feel strongly please let me know.
Rule changes:
None planned
