The Bowdoin College Women's Squash Team will compete in the CSA National Championships this weekend, February 14-16. The College Squash Association divides 29 competing teams into four divisions based on regular season match play.
Bowdoin is the first seed in the Kurtz Cup division and is currently ranked ninth overall. The women have compiled a 16-5 record this season, falling only to higher-ranked opponents.
The Bears have recorded success against competition from their divisional tournament already this season. Bowdoin claimed the CBB title from number 11 Bates and number 12 Colby last week. Amherst holds number ten overall and the second seed in the divisional tournament after falling 6-3 to the Polar Bears in January.
The squad is led by Niki Clement '06, who stands at 16-4 on the season in the number one spot, while Merrill Muckerman '03 has a 17-4 record at the number two spot. Bowdoin will open the tournament against sixteenth-ranked Middlebury at 9:30 a.m. on Friday and look to repeat a 7-2 win from January.
