The players were Rustin Wiser (University of Pennsylvania), Molly Stoltz (Harvard University), and Ellie Clifford (Dartmouth College).

Men's Tournament

The University of Pennsylvania men’s team, which includes sophomore Rustin Wiser, finished an impressive 3/4 in the men's tournament.

Women's Tournament

The Harvard women's team, which includes senior Molly Stoltz, also had a great tournament.  

Harvard came into the tournament as the 4th seed, and, after a bye in the first round, soundly defeated 5th seed Trinity College 8-1 in the second round.  The team lost to Princeton University in the semi-finals and ultimately finished an impressive 3/4 in the tournament.

This was Molly's final tournament of her college squash career, which has been outstanding.  About college squash, Molly said, "I loved my college squash experience.  I have had the most amazing teammates and coaches.  It is bittersweet that I played my last college match this weekend, but I am looking forward to playing doubles squash in NYC with McKenna and Conner."

Molly's mother, Sheila Stoltz (left), and grandmother Emelda Morrissey (right) enjoyed watching Molly play this weekend. Emelda has been watching squash matches since 1981, when her daughter Sheila was playing for Phillips Exeter. Sheila subsequently played for Harvard College.

The Dartmouth women’s team, which includes junior Ellie Clifford, finished an impressive 10th in the tournament.

Ellie played in the 3rd position for the team and said, “It’s so fun to play with such great teammates and coaches. Playing squash at Dartmouth has been a fantastic part of my college experience."
