Daily News | Harvard tops No. 1-ranked Penn to win Potter Cup and national title in squash
For the third straight season, Harvard squash is the Potter Cup champion.
The Quakers swept No. 8 Drexel on Friday and defeated No. 4 Yale, 6-3, Saturday to make it to Sunday’s championship. This is the Quakers’ second Potter Cup final appearance in program history, the last time coming in 2020 when Penn lost all but one match to the Crimson. Douglas is also the first Quakers squash player to be named first team All-Ivy for four years since Penn coach Gilly Lane accomplished the same feat as a student in 2007.
Senior Aly Abou Eleinen, who joined Douglas on first team All-Ivy, suffered his first loss this season when he was swept by Harvard junior Marwan Tarek. In just three seasons for the Quakers, Elenien is one of two Penn squash players to notch 50 wins, a milestone Eleinen hit on Friday against Drexel.
