"Northampton, MA — For the week ending 1/20/2013, Northeastern’s Amanda Georgescu and Drexel’s Harshil Dokania have been named the women’s and men’s Harrow Sports College Squash Player of the Week.

A Harrow Sports College Squash Player of the Week should have a significant impact on his or her team’s performance during the prior week and demonstrate sportsmanship. Coaches and Sports Information Directors may nominate players. Nominations are due each Monday by 6 PM ET.

Amanda Georgescu (Northeastern University): Over the weekend, Northeastern was at the Pioneer Valley Invitational. The 36th-ranked Huskies faced #34 Haverford. At the match at the #4 position, Georgescu, a sophomore, met Haverford senior Alisa Strayer. After losing the first two games, Georgescu captured the match by winning the fourth and fifth games in tie-breakers (6-11, 7-11, 11-7, 14-12, and 13-11). Her victory helped Northeastern win the match, 5-4" - http://collegesquashassociation.com/2013/01/22/harrow-sports-college-squash-player-of-the-week-1202013/
