LANCASTER, Penn. – Stanford entered the 2025 Mid-Atlantic Squash Conference seeking to defend the program’s first-ever conference championship from 2024 – the fourth-ranked Cardinal did so in emphatic fashion.
Stanford swept No. 22 Franklin & Marshall and No. 10 Drexel 9-0 apiece on Saturday, then followed it up with a 7-2 victory over No. 6 Virginia to claim the title.
The victory over Virginia was hard fought, with Amelie Haworth and Mariana Dardon each winning in five sets. Miriam Cheng, Yuvna Gupta, Maeve Baker and Khushi Kukadia all swept their opponents.
Freshman Riya Navani won 6-11, 11-5, 11-7, 11-4 to move to 2-0 this season against Meagan Best, the two-time defending MASC Player of the Year and a three-time CSA All-American.
The Card is back in action on February 22, heading east again to take on No. 7 Yale and No. 2 Trinity (CT) on the 23rd.
