In women's swimming, three athletes from the No. 8-ranked Williams team participated in the February Invitational on the same weekend. They aimed to secure NCAA qualifying times and B cuts, seeking to extend their competitive seasons beyond the NESCAC Championship.
The women's basketball team advanced to the NESCAC semifinals with a 75-55 victory over Trinity College on Friday. This win at Ray Oosting Gymnasium in Hartford marks a significant step forward for the Ephs as they continue their postseason journey.
In men's squash, the Ephs had a successful weekend, beginning with a 6-3 victory over No. 12 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where first-year Leighton Calhoun clinched the decisive match. They followed this with an 8-1 win against Bates College, maintaining their momentum and avoiding any letdown after their earlier triumph.
