On Sunday, October 29 the women’s team faced off against The University of Rochester and Boston College thus kicking off their fall season. Each member of the team played with a fierce competitiveness and determination, allowing them to win 9-0 overall against The University of Rochester during the morning match.
The afternoon match against BC continued to test the team, but the women refused to falter against their opponents. Team treasurer and number four seed Normandie Essig had an especially inspiring match as she went into a grueling five game rally (11-8, 7-11, 3-11, 11-8, 5-11) with her competitor. While unfortunately the match didn’t end in Essig’s favor, her perseverance and sportsmanship throughout the entirety of each game is something each of her teammates should aspire to every time they step on court. Overall the women lost against BC, but are hopeful to come back with a vengeance later in the season. The Boston University Squash Team would like to thank everyone who came to the matches to show their support for our players and the Boston University Club Sports program as a whole. We look forward to seeing you again at our upcoming matches!
