Zein Moves On to Monday's CSA Semifinals
January 26, 2025 | Women's Squash
It's next stop, Grand Central Station for Princeton sophomore Zeina Zein as the College Squash Association's individual championships move to the New York terminal for Monday's semifinal.
To get there, Zein had to avenge a loss from the 2024 semis to Harvard's Saran Nghiem, and Zein did so convincingly in three games, allowing just 10 total points, 11-2, 11-4, 11-4.
To make the final, Zein will have to avenge a more recent defeat. Monday's match will come just 10 days after Cornell's Yee Xin Yang defeated Zein in the teams' dual match on Jan. 17 in Princeton. Zein won the first game that day 11-3, but her Big Red opponent won each of the next three games by the slimmest of margins, 14-12, 11-9, 11-9.
Monday's Ramsay Cup semifinal match is set for an 11:30 a.m. start.
Princeton senior Molly Chadwick finished her run through the Ramsay Cup consolation, defeating Yale's Spring Ma in three games, 11-8, 11-5, 11-5 before a consolation semifinal loss to Harvard's Habeeba Eldefrawy in three games, 11-6, 11-3, 11-7.
