SQUASH

Mount Holyoke (8-8) suffered a 6-3 loss to Amherst last week. Leading the way in the win column for the Lyons was junior captain Randima Ranaweera (Colombo, Sri Lanka), who moved to 14-1 on the season with her 11th consecutive victory.

The Lyons, which saw last weekend's Division III Championships cancelled due to the storm, return to the courts on Tuesday with a 7pm match against Smith at the MHC Squash Courts. Mount Holyoke then travels to Yale University to compete at the CSA National Championships. Action begins on Friday and runs through Sunday.

TRACK & FIELD

The Lyons were unable to compete due to cancellations of both meets they were scheduled to compete in because of the storm. Mount Holyoke is back in action this weekend when it competes at the New England Division III Championship, hosted by the University of Southern Maine at the Costello Sports Complex Field. Action begins at 12pm on Friday and 11am on Saturday.
