CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Senior
Margaux Losty rallied for a five-game victory at No. 3, but the women's squash team was dealt an 8-1 loss by Stanford on Saturday in the consolation semifinals at the Howe Cup at Harvard's Murr Center.
After losing the first game, Losty stormed back to win a pair of close games. Her opponent forced a fifth, but Losty prevailed to give eighth-ranked Cornell (10-8) some momentum after the first rotation. While fourth-ranked Stanford (15-4) continued to roll further down the lineup, senior
Emma Uible forced five games in her match at No. 2 before the Cardinal won to clinch.
The women's squash team was handed a 9-0 loss by Harvard on Friday evening in a quarterfinal match at the College Squash Association's Howe Cup. The eighth-seeded Big Red will next face Stanford in the consolation quarterfinals at 11:30 a.m. Saturday at Harvard's Murr Center.
Cornell will now not only compete in the Howe Cup's seventh-place match for a third straight year, it will do so against the same opponent – Columbia (9-7). The sixth-ranked Lions were upset by seventh-ranked Penn in Saturday's other consolation semifinal, setting up another rematch against Cornell. The Big Red has defeated Columbia, 6-3, in the seventh-place match in each of the last two seasons.
