Mercersburg took third place in the girls' section of the Mid-Atlantic Squash Team (MAST) Tournament, hosted by Episcopal High School (Alexandria, VA) January 11.
The Storm went 1-1 in two very closely contested matches, falling to Potomac School (McLean, VA) 6-3 in the semi-final round before knocking off host Episcopal 5-4 in the third place contest.
The top of the ladder had a very strong tournament with #1 Ana Karen Botello '25, #2 Hisano Enomoto '25, and #4 Mogere Nyakoe '25 all winning both their matches while dropping just 1 of 19 games collectively. In the battle with Episcopal, #3 Availina Orfield '25 and #8 Jennica Nguyen '27 came through with clutch victories to help secure the team win.
Next up for the full team is a match at MAPL powerhouse Lawrenceville (NJ) on Wednesday, January 22 at 5 pm.
