from DailySquashReport.com
October 27, 2011 - New York teenagers Dylan Murray of Westchester and Sabrina Sobhy of Long Island fulfilled their top seeds in turning back all opposition and capturing the Under-19 Boys and Girls titles respectively last weekend in the Junior Squash Tour-1 Championships at the PRO Sports Club in Bellevue, Washington.
Sobhy, still only 14-years-old, had a tough time in the quarters with Reeham Sedky of nearby Sammamish, having to come back from two-love down before winning 11-4 in the fifth. She then went four games with Caroline East of Maryland in the semis before straight-setting Philadelphia’s Carey Celata in the final.
Murray, at 16, the number-one ranked American junior, beat Faraz Khan of Old Greenwich, Connecticut in a five-game semi and Shahjahan Khan of Seattle in the final in a tight three. Shahjahan had ousted US junior team members Edward Columbia and Liam McClintock, both of Massachusetts, en route.
The Junior Championship Tour events are considered the marquee tournaments on the US Squash junior calendar.
