HANOVER, N.H. – No. 11 Dartmouth women's squash earned its best win of the season thus far against No. 6 Drexel, 5-4, Friday night in Hanover. The Big Green improve to 3-4, while the Dragons fall to 6-5.

Each match was hard fought and for Dartmouth it was Claire Aube (9-11, 11-6, 11-8, 11-6), Emma MacTaggart (11-13, 13-11, 11-9, 11-9), Sandra Reiss (7-11, 11-6, 12-10, 11-2) and Julia Potter (11-9, 11-8, 8-11, 11-4) winning in four games. Jesse Brownell (11-9, 8-11, 12-10, 3-11, 11-7) was tested and battled to a five-game win.

Aube, MacTaggart and Reiss all dropped their first games before bouncing back to win the next three and defeat their opponents in four, while Potter went ahead, 2-0, fell in the third and then took the fourth for the victory.

Brownell played three tight games, including a 12-10 win. She then fell behind after losing the fourth but clinched the match with an 11-7 win in the fifth game.

Dartmouth is back in action on Sunday at home against St. Lawrence at 11 a.m.
