from DailySquashReport.com
March 19, 2012 - Fifteen-year-old Sabrina Sobhy of Long Island, New York, beat top-seeded Maria Elena Ubina 11-6 11-9 11-9 yesterday to capture the US Girls Closed Under-19s title in New Haven, capping an impressive five-match run through the stiff draw without the loss of a game.
On the boys' side, 16-year-old #1 American junior Dylan Murray of Bronxville, New York, staved off a game final-round comeback from third seed Faraz Khan, winning 11-1 11-9 5-11 4-11 11-6. Murray had also needed the full five in his semifinal to put away Devin McLaughlin.
The championships were closed to foreign players.
In other action, 16-year-old Olivia Fiechter of Philadelphia dominated the Girls 17s, scoring an 11-7 11-6 11-5 finals victory over Kayley Leonard of New York.
Fiechter likely would have been a factor in the U-19s as well, having recently worked through a field that included Sobhy and Ubina to win February's prestigious JCT Massachusetts U-19 Championship.
In Boys 17s, it was Anders Larson of Brooklyn over Hayes Murphy of Greenwich 11-8 in the fifth.
In Girls 15s, Helen Teegan of Washington state beat Casey Wong of Maryland in three games.
In Boys 15s, it was Gabe Morgan of Menlo Park, California in four over Timmy Brownell of Massachusetts.
In Girls U-13s, Elle Ruggiero of Malvern, PA, beat Laila Sedky of Washington state in three.
In Boys U-13s, it was Ryan Murray of New York in four over Charles East of Maryland.
In Girls U-11s, Olivia Robinson of New York defeated Avni Anand of San Jose, CA, in four.
And in the Boys U-11's, it was Matthew Lazor of West Hartford coming through in three over Morgan Huberman of New York City.
