By CSA Reporters 

Top seeds Harvard created history as they claimed a record sixth straight Howe Cup by winning the College Squash Association women’s Team Championship after beating No.2 seeds Princeton 6-1 in the final at Yale, with two rubbers not played once the result was confirmed.

The Howe Cup is coming back to Cambridge after top-ranked Harvard women’s squash beat No. 2 Princeton, 6-1, in the national championship match.

The Crimson (17-0, 7-0 Ivy) completed its fifth-straight undefeated season en route to its sixth consecutive national championship trophy. The match, held at Yale’s Brady Squash Center, resulted in the 83rd consecutive victory for Harvard, which stands as a CSA record.

Harvard earned its 20th Howe Cup after posting five straight points, starting with Hana Moataz at the third position. The sophomore’s 3-0 victory – and 14th win of the season – gave the Crimson a quick 1-0 lead. First-year Charlotte Orcutt added an impressive win at the ninth position to put her team on top 2-0.

Amina Yousry followed in her teammates footsteps, downing her opponent, 3-1, at the fourth spot. Co-captain Gina Kennedy’s shutout at the top pairing on the ladder put the Crimson on top, 4-0, and in a position to clinch.

Junior Hannah Craig was the deciding-point-winner, as she came away with the 3-0 victory at the seventh position to secure the match for Harvard.

Amelia Henley’s 3-0 decision at the second pairing brought the Crimson total to six before the match was called.

Harvard’s 2019-20 season ends with another national title in the trophy case and another win on the already impressive resume of Mike Way, the Gregory Lee ’87 and Russell Ball ’88 Endowed Coach for Harvard University, James Herscot ’58 Coach of Excellence.
