The Bard women's squash team played its final match at CSA Nationals, battling with Mt. Holyoke on Saturday afternoon. 
 
In the 7-1 victory for Mt. Holyoke, several Raptors had strong performances, highlighted by Mona Haidari at #5, whose match went to five games. After falling behind 1-0 and 2-1, Haidari tied the match at 2-2 in games, and the fifth set was tied 8-8 before the Mt. Holyoke player captured the win.
 
Meherin Hossain also played a close match at #3, and Raptors throughout the ladder performed well against strong opponents. Bard captured its point at the #4 spot, where Tee Williams won by default due to a late scratch by her opponent.
