The St. Lawrence University women's squash team, which had a Round of 16 bye thanks to being the brackets' number one seed, cruised through the Quarterfinals, defeating Chatham 7-2 on Friday afternoon in the Walker Cup at the CSA Team Nationals in Philadelphia, Pa.

St. Lawrence improved to 13-5 with the win, while Chatham fell to 6-9.

Much like the men's match against Chatham, the Saints started up 2-0 thanks to a pair of defaults at eight and nine, where Ksenia Merkulova and Emma Kahle earned wins.

At two, Eboni Atherley took part in a long match against Vasundhra Vasanthan and won the second and fourth match en route to a winter-take-all game five, which she won 11-6.

At five through seven, respectively, Laura Franz, Khissaiyia Spencer, and Katherine Callaway each earned 3-0 sweeps. Franz took on TaNiya Nored at five and won 11-6, 11-7, 11-4, while Spencer defeated Amari Spivey 11-4, 11-2, 11-1 at six. In the seven-spot, Callaway lined up against Sarah Secco and cruised to an 11-1, 11-1, 11-0 win.

In the final match of the day, Angel Otshabeng took on Clara Braga in the number one spot, and she cruised to an 11-4, 11-8, 1-5 win.

St. Lawrence advances to the Semifinals of the Walker Cup, where they will take on No. 4-seeded Bates at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
