PRINCETON, N.J. — Stanford used a quick start to ride out a 6-3 victory over the women's squash team on Saturday in the consolation semifinals of the Howe Cup, hosted by Princeton at Jadwin Gymnasium.
Cornell (8-8), which entered the championships ranked seventh in the nation to qualify for its ninth consecutive Howe Cup appearance, was swept in the opening rotation before senior co-captain
Rachel Scherman got the Big Red on the board with a marathon five-game win at No. 2.
But sixth-seeded Stanford (7-7) clinched the match before the final three matches took to the courts, with the eventual final score mirroring that of the teams' first meeting this season on Jan. 29 in New York.
The Big Red fought to the end, winning two of the three matches in the final rotation. Junior
Emma Uible won in four at the No. 4 position, then junior Michèle Garceau was victorious at the top spot after her opponent retired as they were headed to a fifth game.
Cornell will conclude play at the Howe Cup with the seventh-place match against No. 8 Columbia. The match will be spread across five courts at Jadwin Gymnasium, starting at 8:30 a.m.
SQUASHTV will continue to offer a free broadcast of the team championships. The primary focus will be on the main court, but additional cameras will cover action on some of the other courts. The stream can be found at
