Middletown, CT — On Saturday, the 2009 Wesleyan Spring Fling Squash Tournament was held at Wesleyan University. The tournament had four draws: A players, B players, C players, and women.

Western Mass players were a major force in the tournament. In the B draw, Hanno Muellner and Ben Quick met in the quarterfinals. The two Western Mass residents traded games back and forth. Finally in the fifth game, Quick emerged victorious.

Also in the quarterfinals, Northampton residents Michael Bello and Allen Davis faced off.  The match was very even with multiple games going to tie-breakers.  To the delight of onlookers, both Bello and Davis hit the floor multiple times as they each attempted to retrieve shots.  Davis ultimately won the match in five games.

Quick defeated Davis in the B draw finals, while Muellner beat Bello in the consolation finals.

After losing the B/C qualifier to Ben Quick, Marc Ducharme marched through the C draw, ultimately finishing second.

The women’s draw was composed of three mini round robins. The winners of each round robin played another round robin to decide the winner. New Hampshire resident Rhonda Lake finished second in the draw.
