The girls varsity squash team won the New England Interscholastic Squash Association Class C Tournament by a margin of one point, 50-49, over Kingswood-Oxford School and six other schools on Saturday, February 22nd at Millbrook School.

Led by senior co-captains Olivia Foster and Alysha Wong, who won the 3rd and 4th flights respectively, the Wildcats prevailed in five of seven positions—and then held their breath as seniors Shaina D’Souza and Camila Paiva won the last two crucial matches to secure the team’s first-ever squash championship.

Sophomore Caroline Borden, Junior Hannah Lee and sophomore Kira Wilson won the 5th, 6th and 7th flights to set the stage for the clinching senior performances.  The girls won 19 of 21 matches (and went 57-14 in games). Overall, it was an impressive display of athleticism and fair play.
