PHILADELPHIA – The Franklin & Marshall women's squash team swept through Haverford and did not drop a game on its way to a 9-0 victory on the final day of the Penn Cup. Facing tough competition all weekend, the Diplomats closed their first set of matches on a high note but securing their first win of the season in resounding fashion.
Not only did the Diplomats not drop a match, they did not lose a single game on their way to the sweep. Both Aryaa Ogale and Ana Petrosky had 11-0 game victories throughout their wins at the respective No. 2 and No. 9 positions. They were part of eight victories throughout the lineup where the Diplomats did not concede more than 10 points over the course of the entire individual match. Mia Todd had the most convincing of those victories as she allowed her opponent just six points in total – with her closest game being an 11-3 victory – during her win at No. 5.
After three matches on the road to start the season, the Diplomats will open their home schedule this coming weekend when they welcome Virginia and Bates to the Mayser Center. Virginia will serve as F&M's home-opening match on Friday, November 17 with a 6 p.m. start. The team will also be in action on Saturday, November 18 when it welcomes Bates to Lancaster for a 1 p.m. match.
