On January 13, the girls varsity squash team traveled alongside the boys varsity team to St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Delaware. The girls won an impressive 9-0 victory, leaving them with an overall season record of 4-1.

Leading 4-0 in matches, the girls needed just one more win to solidify victory for the Maroon and Black.
