| By:
ITHACA, N.Y. — The No. 7-ranked Cornell women's squash team returns to the Belkin Squash Courts on Sunday morning, hosting No. 10 Tufts to cap a two-match homestand.

Cornell (2-1), coming off an 8-1 loss to No. 5 Trinity on Wednesday afternoon, will hosting the Jumbos on Sunday at 11 a.m. All matches will be streamed live for free on Stretch Internet.

LAST MATCH REWIND
Junior Xin Ying Yee posted the lone victory for Cornell as the Big Red dropped its home opener to No. 5 Trinity, 8-1, on Wednesday afternoon at the Belkin Squash Courts.

Yee improved to 2-0 on the season with a dominant performance against Thanusaa Uthrian, winning in straight games, 11-9, 11-6, 11-4. The junior controlled play from the second game onward after a competitive opening set.

Despite suffering its first loss of the season, the Big Red (2-1) had freshman Vicky Lai, sophomore Sabine Ball, and junior Maya Voloshin each lose in four games. Lai and Voloshin staved off straight-game losses with wins in the third game.

SCOUTING TUFTS
Tufts (1-1) will play two matches this weekend, concluding its road swing on Sunday after opening the trip against No. 23 Hamilton College this evening.

The Jumbos edged then-No. 10 Columbia, 5-4, in their season opener last Saturday, claiming victories in four of the first five positions, before being swept by No. 5 Trinity the following day.

Cornell holds an 8-1 all-time advantage over Tufts, winning eight straight matches since dropping the inaugural meeting on Jan. 18, 1997, in Williamstown, Mass. The Big Red has posted at least seven victories in each of those eight wins.
