The Hamilton College Continentals are preparing to host Wesleyan University and St. Lawrence University at Little Squash Center on Saturday, Dec. 4.

Hamilton takes on St. Lawrence at noon and plays NESCAC foe Wesleyan at approximately 4 p.m. before the Continentals take a break from competition until January 2022. Hamilton is No. 22 in the College Squash Overall Team Rankings.

The Continentals opened the 2021-22 season with a win and two losses at home on Nov. 19 and 20. No. 16 Tufts University (1-0 overall) defeated Hamilton 9-0 on Friday evening, the Continentals cruised to an 8-1 victory over No. 24 Connecticut College (0-3) on Saturday afternoon, and No. 21 William Smith College (5-2) posted a 7-2 triumph against the Continentals on Saturday night.

Natalie Harrity '23 and Eleanor Struthers '22 led Hamilton with two wins apiece at the fifth and ninth positions, respectively. Eliana Good '24 (first position), Sarah Stonestreet '25 (second), Hope Worcester '23 (third), Eleanor Bailey '25 (fourth), Madison Sakheim '22 (seventh) and Katie Hodulik '23 (eighth) swept their Conn. College opponents in three games.

Struthers (27 career wins), Sakheim (25) and Sydney Soloway '22 (20) lead the returning players for the Continentals. Harrity, Hodulik and Worcester were regulars in the lineup as first-years two seasons ago. Ellie Arnold '22, who won nine matches in 2019-20, and Hannah Constable '23 are also back this season. Seven first-years and sophomores are playing for the first time due to losing the 2020-21 season to the coronavirus pandemic.
