Women's Squash to Honor Seniors Against #11 Cornell

PHILADELPHIA – No. 6 University of Pennsylvania women's squash team (8-4, 2-3 Ivy) will play its final match in Philadelphia this season on Friday when it hosts No. 11 Cornell (4-8, 1-4 Ivy) at 6 p.m. The Quakers will then wrap up their regular season when they travel to No. 7 Columbia (7-3, 3-2 Ivy) on Sunday.

Previewing Penn
Penn heads into the final weekend of Ivy League play having split last weekend against No. 9 Dartmouth and No.1 Harvard.

Penn has been led by its top-five in the lineup this season. At number one, Salah has put up an impressive 11-1 record. She'll be looking to bounce back this weekend after her 31-match win streak was snapped against Harvard.
Jessica Davis has played well behind Salah at number two where she has gone 3-2 during Ivy League play.

Head coach Jack Wyant and the women's squash program will honor its senior class prior to Friday's match against Cornell. The class includes Reeham Salah and Mikaela Salvesen-Quinn.

Salah has put together one of the most impressive careers in Penn squash history. The two-time Ivy League player of the year became Penn's first national champion since 1996 last season when she defeated Harvard's Georgina Kennedy, 3-1, in the final.
