NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The Tufts University women's squash team
advanced to the finals of the Epps Cup (D Division) at the Howe Cup
Team Championships hosted by Yale University with an 8-1 victory
over Northeastern University in the semi-finals on Saturday
afternoon. The Jumbos will face Columbia in the Epps Cup final on
Sunday at 2 pm. Tufts is the #1 seed in the Epps Cup. Columbia, who
defeated Connecticut College 7-2 in Saturday's other semi-final, is
the #2 seed.
The Jumbos won every match against Northeastern except at #1,
where Northeastern's Tessa Martin won in three over Val Koo
(Hong Kong, China). Five Jumbos won in three games, while
Tufts also received a default victory in the ninth slot. It was the
second victory of the season for the Jumbos (6-14) over the
Huskies.
Senior Sairah Mahmud (Duxbury, MA) was the most
efficient winner for Tufts, allowing just 11 points in the #8
match. Senior tri-captain Erin Bruynell (Milton,
MA) won her first game at #7 11-0 on her way to a
three-game win. First year Jess Rubine (Cranston,
RI) won the fifth game at #4 11-9 to take that match.
The win was the third in a row for Tufts, and the fourth in the
last five games.
