Mercersburg defeated visiting Hill (Pottstown, PA) 9-0 in boys' varsity squash to complete a MAPL doubleheader sweep after blanking Blair earlier in the day.
With the #1 player out due to injury, all the Blue Storm players had to move up a step on the ladder. Mercersburg defeated Hill 8-1 earlier in the year in the Flanagan Invitational, and even though they were a man down today, they managed to pull off the shutout. Seniors Azian Subhani '23 (3-0), Dawson Hastings '23 (3-0), Daniel Zhong '23 (3-1) and Francis Betkowski '23 (3-1) were all impressive as was Danny Adusei-Poku '23, who pulled out a big 3-2 win in the #6 slot. Ninth-grader Sidarth Shah '26 took a 3-0 victory at #9 and the top three of Santiago Medina '24, Adrian Guijarro '25, and Fawad Jan '24 completed the sweep.
Mercersburg (12-2) plays at Potomac School (McLean, Va) on Wednesday, February 1 at 4 pm.
