On Thursday, November 30, the Boston University squash team competed against Northeastern University at SquashBusters.
The men succumbed to a 6-3 loss against Northeastern, but played with the same high level of determination and enthusiasm that they have been showcasing all season. Number three seed Parker Tonissi beat his opponent in a rousing five game match (11-4, 7-11, 11-2, 11-5). Men’s co-captain and number four seed Julian Joonsoo Lee also found success in his match, winning in three games (11-5, 11-8, 11-7). Similarly, number seven seed Shrey Shah won in just three games (11-9, 11-8, 11-7), never letting his challenger have the opportunity to gain the upper hand.
The women also saw a tough challenge against Northeastern, ultimately losing 8-1. However, number nine seed Meghana Patnana refused to let up against her opponent; winning her match in three games (11-9, 11-3, 11-7). Her exceptional willpower was inspiring to witness on the court and as a new member of the team this year we hope that she, and all of our other novice players will continue to set the bar high for the future of the program as a whole.
On Saturday, December 9, the women will be playing their last match of the season against Connecticut College. The match begins at 12:00 PM at the courts at the Boston University Fitness and Recreation Center. We hope to see as many people as possible supporting our team, and would like to thank you for all of the encouragement you have given to us thus far this season!
