Four Men’s Squash Players: All-American Honors
Four members of Penn’s men’s squash team have received All-American honors from the College Squash Association (CSA). This is the most in school history. Junior Andrew Douglas and sophomores Aly Abou Eleinen and James Flynn are First-Team All-Americans, and junior Yash Bhargava is a Second-Team awardee.
For the first time in school history, the men’s squash team advanced all the way to the Potter Cup, the CSA men’s National Team Championships, where they lost to #1-ranked Harvard.
Mr. Douglas, a co-captain from Brooklyn, New York, is the program’s first three-time First-Team All-American, and he was also a unanimous First-Team All-Ivy selection. Due to an injury, he did not take part in the CSA Individual Championships.
Mr. Eleinen, from Alexandria, Egypt, became the first men’s player since 1986 to advance to the A Division final of the CSA Individual Championships. He was also a unanimous First-Team All-Ivy selection.
Mr. Flynn, from Toronto, Canada, compiled a 14-3 record. In the A Division of the CSA Individual Championships, he defeated top seed and defending champion Victor Crouin of Harvard before falling to teammate Mr. Eleinen in the quarterfinals.
Mr. Bhargava, from Mumbai, India, won the Molloy Cup at the CSA Individual Championships, making him Penn’s first Molloy Cup champion since 2016.
