Three of the Harvard men's squash players participated in the United States Squash and Racquets Association tournament held in Princeton, N.J., last weekend, while the Harvard women's squash team sent five players to compete in the U.S. Amateur Squash Championships, also held in Princeton.
Junior Jon Bernheimer, freshman Johnny Kaye and Crimson Co-Captain Doug Lifford represented the Crimson in the men's individual tournament.
Bernheimer, who received a bye in the first round, rallied to capture a victory against Franklin and Marshall's Yogesh Panchai. After falling behind 2-1 in games, Bernheimer bounced back to win the fourth and fifth games and move into the round of 16, where he was upset by Peter Lubowitz, Penn's number-three player, 3-0.
Lifford dropped a 17-16, 15-13, 10-15, 15-11 decision to Merceil Mendez, who played number-one for the five-man Mexican championship team last month.
Kaye opened with a 3-1 victory over Trip Navaro, the number-one player from Tufts. But in his second-round match, he dropped a 3-1 decision to Ollie Khan of Atlanta.
Women
After winning her first match, 3-1, Tri-Captain Jenny Holleran lost to Sarah Luther, 3-0, the number-four seed in the tournament. But Holleran went on to win two matches in the consolation rounds, and had the best finish for the Harvard competitors.
Starting off well, sophomore Stephanie Clark won her first game and then dropped a tough match to Carol Wymuller, 3-0. Junior Hope Nichols nabbed her first match, 3-1, lost her next contest, and went on to win a five-game match. Nichols was eliminated when she lost, 3-0, to Chris Schutz of the Harvard Education School.
Friday night, sophomore Daphne Onderdonk wasn't smiling as she lost her first match, but Saturday she easily won her first consolation contest in three games. Onderdonk faltered in the second round of consolation action, losing to Mary Belknap in five games.
Freshman Mary Greenhill recovered from a first-match loss to Jane Coolidge and easily won her second match, 3-0. But Greenhill met Coolidge again in her third match, and fell, 3-2.
