For the third consecutive year, Mercersburg claimed the Mid-Atlantic Squash Organization title January 11 in a tournament that was played in Mercersburg.
The Storm swept its four matches against Episcopal, Potomac, Wakefield, and St. Andrews School of Delaware. Rayyan Khan '27 (10-0) and Finn Mauro '27 (8-0) remain undefeated for the season and team record is now 10-1.
“We approached this event as a simulation," said head coach Dominic Benacquista, "preparing the boys for the level of competition they'll face at the MAPL Championships and High School Nationals. With limited opportunities to compete in such formats before it truly counts, it was crucial for us to get the mindset, approach, and execution right - on and off the court. Overall, this was a positive step forward and I truly believe we aren’t far off from the best in the nation”.
Next up for Mercersburg is a tri-match at Wakefield School (The Plains, VA) that will also feature Woodberry Forest (VA) School. That competition takes place on Friday, January 17 at 5:30 pm.
