The Deerfield Academy Girls Thirds squash team kicked off their season in style with a 5-2 victory over Miss Porter’s School, plus a bonus exhibition win at #8. Playing on their home courts, the team showcased grit and a strong sense of camaraderie that set the tone for an exciting season ahead.
With some players competing in their first-ever matches, the afternoon was full of firsts and fearless squash. Two of the contests went the distance to five games, keeping the players—and the few lively supporters on the sidelines—on their toes. Special kudos to Neva, Suditi, Jessica, and Nina for their marathon matches, some of whom emerged victorious!
The team’s energy was infectious as players cheered each other on and kept the atmosphere lighthearted yet competitive. While the official result came down to the first seven matches, Deerfield demonstrated their depth with a win in the exhibition match as well.
With this strong start, the DA Girls Thirds are looking forward to building on their success and having more fun along the way. On to the next one!
