Association Women's Rankings
PHILADELPHIA - The
first set of women's squash rankings have been released and all nine of Penn's
players on the ladder are ranked in the top-56, including five players that are
ranked in the top-32. These rankings are not the final list of qualifiers for
the CSA Individual tournament, but will be used as seeding tools for the
individual championships.
Rachael Goh is the highest ranked Penn player, coming in at
ninth overall. The returning first-team All-American has a record of 9-3 this
season, including an 8-1 record in the second position on the ladder. She has
won five matches in a row leading into the weekend and seven of her victories
have come in straight games.
Nabilla Ariffin enters the rankings at No. 12 nationally.
One of team's co-captains, Ariffin has already garnered second-team
All-American honors in each of her first two seasons at Penn. She played primarily at
No. 1, compiling a 6-5 record at that spot. All seven of her victories have
come in the minimum three games this year.
Returning second-team All-American Pia Trikha is ranked 18th
nationally coming into the individual tournament. She is 10-3 overall, including
a 6-1 mark in Ivy League play. She played primarily at the No. 3 spot on the
ladder this year. She has won five matches in three games this season and four
of her last five matches coming into this weekend.
The final returning All-American for Penn is Yarden Odinak.
The returning second-team honoree finds herself ranked 22nd.
She has compiled a 12-2 overall mark, including a 6-1 record in Ivy League play.
She has won eight straight matches heading into the final weekend of play and
has won 22 straight games during that span.
Sophomore Courtney Jones finds herself just inside the top-32,
ranked 31st. She is currently 10-3 this season, playing primarily at No. 5. She
has won eight of her matches in three games. Jones has won four of her last five
matches with all four of those victories coming in straight games.
Stephanie Vogel finds herself ranked 39th nationally in the latest
release. She has gone 10-3 so far this season and recently moved back up to No. 6 on
the Penn ladder for the Howe Cup. She has
won nine of her last 10 matches coming into this weekend and has won eight
matches in three games.
Chloe Blacker finds herself at 45th in the rankings after
closing the season on a five-match winning streak, not dropping a game during
that time. The sophomore won 11 of her last 12 matches to finish year 11-2
overall, playing primarily at No. 8. Nine of her victories came in straight
games.
Freshman Colleen Fehm is ranked 50th in the country,
giving Penn eight players on the ladder in the national top-50. She compiled an
overall record of 10-4, playing primarily at No. 9, but as high as No. 5 during
the year. At the Howe Cup, she finished with a 2-1 record and won five of her
last six matches to close the season.
Leslie Gill finds herself 56th in the latest set of
rankings. As a freshman, Gill went 9-5 overall, playing at No. 6 down the
regular season stretch and finishing up at No. 7 during the Howe Cup. Seven of her
nine wins came in straight games throughout the year.
Despite playing primarily at No. 10 with such a deep ladder,
freshman Lindsay Wong is ranked 107th nationally, giving Penn 10 players in the
rankings. Wong went 8-2 overall this season, including a 3-1 mark in top-nine
matches.
The women's team will be back in action this weekend as it
finishes up the season at the CSA Individual Championships. Last season, Penn
claimed five All-American slots, which was the most of any team in the country.
