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.

The Seven Sisters is a consortium of women’s liberal arts colleges that was founded in 1915. Originally, the Seven Sisters included Mount Holyoke, Vassar, Smith, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, Barnard, and Radcliffe. The consortium served as the female equivalent of the once all-male Ivy League. According to Mount Holyoke’s Athletic Director Laurie Priest, “This Seven Sisters event brings with it a rich tradition of top competitive opportunities for women that supports the development of longstanding, friendly rivalries.”

In the opening match, Smith faced Mount Holyoke.  The Lyons advanced to the finals with a 9-0 victory.  After arriving in South Hadley late due to bus troubles, Vassar easily defeated a shorthanded Wellesley squad.

In the match for third place, Smith earned its second victory of the season by defeating Wellesley 7-2. Smith’s Jess MacLeod defeated Ashley Stevens in five games.

The championship match was the final home match for Mount Holyoke’s seniors.  During introductions, Mount Holyoke honored seniors Pamela Anckermann, Lisa Bruno, and Menusha Hettiarachchi with roses.  As coach Allen Fitzsimmons pointed out during the introductions, four seasons ago Mount Holyoke was ranked 27th.  Currently the Lyons, led by this group of seniors, is ranked 11th in the nation.

Mount Holyoke defeated Vassar to capture its third consecutive Seven Sisters title.  All nine Lyons earned All-Tournament Team honors.

SquashBox (without a camera)

Northampton, MA — For several years, Western Mass Squash has taken photos at squash matches from the back of the courts. Yet these photos often did not capture the true action of a squash match. After months of brainstorming, building, and testing, Western Mass Squash’s “SquashBox” was invented.

The SquashBox allows a camera to be placed in the front of any squash court.  The camera sits on a tripod head inside of the box.  Using a wireless remote control, the camera takes photos throughout matches.

The SquashBox protects the camera from a direct impact with an acrylic sheet and thick foam for indirect impacts.  Throughout testing, the SquashBox has been hit many times.

Western Mass Squash has taken photos using the SquashBox at Smith College and Amherst College. Despite tricky lighting conditions, the photographs came out great. We plan to use the SquashBox at matches throughout the season.

If anyone is interested in inviting Western Mass Squash to use the SquashBox at a particular match, please let us know.

Below are thumbnails photos from the testing of the SquashBox.  Click on the thumbnails to view a larger version of each photo.

Albany claimed the overall title, but the Western Mass team finished second overall. Simon’s Rock won the B and C divisions of the tournament.

Below are pictures from the event.

Saturday’s action will go late into the night as many matches were delayed with yesterday’s snow storm. Below are selected photos from the event that include players from Avon Old Farms, Berkshire, Brooks, Suffield, Trinity Pawling, Westminster, and Williston Northampton.

In the first match of the day, Wesleyan proved too strong for the Pioneers. Smith lost 0-9, but senior Sara Smyth battled Wesleyan’s Gwynne Hunter in a five-game match.

The Columbia match was closer, but Smith lost 2-7. Columbia’s coach was unable to attend today’s match, so Amherst alum and current Columbia graduate student Ted Platt coached the team. Smith’s Elizabeth Hughes won the number nine match in three games over Columbia’s Danielle Jakob. Smith’s senior captain Kate Whitesell ended her regular season with a 3-0 victory over Anne Cheng.

Below are pictures from the Columbia/Smith match.

The Seven Sisters is a consortium of women’s liberal arts colleges that was founded in 1915. Originally, the Seven Sisters included Mount Holyoke, Vassar, Smith, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, Barnard, and Radcliffe. The consortium served as the female equivalent of the once all-male Ivy League. Today, Radcliffe is part of Harvard and Barnard is included in the Columbia educational system. Vassar became coeducational in 1969.

According to Lynn Oberbillig, Smith’s Director of Athletics, “Seven Sisters competition epitomizes a special blending of pride, inegrity, teamwork, and a sharing in the rich women’s tradition in sport.” Besides squash, other sports with Seven Sisters championships include basketball, crew, cross country, field hockey, swimming and diving, tennis, and volleyball.

The Seven Sisters schools have a strong squash tradition. In order to promote the sport and women’s educational institutions, this season Smith College founded the Women’s Collegiate Team Championships (photos). In November, Smith, Mount Holyoke, and Wellesley participated in the event. Mount Holyoke emerged with the inaugural title.

This year, there were four teams participating in the Seven Sisters tournament: Mount Holyoke (#12), Wellesley (#20), Vassar (#27) and Smith (#31). In the opening match, Mount Holyoke easily defeated Smith 9-0. The Mount Holyoke Lyons won each match by a score of 3-0.

Wellesley and Vassar faced off in the other semi-final. Like the Lyons, the Vassar Brewers won 9-0. Longmeadow’s Anna Licht defeated Natalie Chen in five games.

In the third place match, Wellesley played Smith. Although Wellesley was the stronger team and captured the match 8-1, the number ones, Smith’s Kate Whitesell and Wellesley’s Sarah Odell, played a dramatic five-game match. Whitesell won the match with a 9-5 victory in the final game. Williston Northampton alumna and Wellesley’s number two player Ayako Kubodera defeated Sara Smyth in three games.

Despite having several sick players, Mount Holyoke won the chapionship with a 7-2 victory over Vassar. Mount Holyoke captured the top seven matches by 3-0 scores. All of the winners in the Mount Holyoke/Vassar match received All-Tournament team honors.
