WILLIAMSTOWN -- The Tufts University women's squash team dropped a pair of matches at Williams College on Sunday.

A strong Williams team that finished last season ranked eighth nationally defeated the Jumbos 9-0. Sophomore Alix Michael (Mercer Island, WA) won 15 points in the #2 match against Jennifer Coxe, the 39th ranked player in the nation for the 2008-09 season. Tufts sophomore Mercedes Barba (New York, NY) had 14 points while losing the #3 match.

Despite hard-fought matches, the Jumbos fell 9-0 to Middlebury. The closest matches were in the top three as #3 Barba played three close games, but couldn't capitalize. At #2, Michael scrambled well and jumped to win in the first game 11-9. However, her momentum didn't last and despite hitting great pace, she dropped the next three and the match. At #1, junior Val Koo (Hong Kong, China) moved her opponent around the court well and won the second game 11-3 to level the match at 1-1. But too often she got stuck behind her opponent and played defense.

The matches at Williams College were a homecoming for Tufts first year Madison Newbound (Williamstown, MA).
