For the second year in a row, women’s squash’s Anna Gabriela Porras is getting national attention.
Porras was named to the College Squash Association’s Second-Team All American, the organization announced Monday, after earning the No. 15 individual ranking in the country. The sophomore was already the first player in program history to be named an All-American, as she also earned the recognition last year.
The Colombian native led the Colonials all season at the No. 1 position, and has done so in every match through her two collegiate seasons. In that time, she has accumulated a career record of 31-6 – already fifth-best all-time at GW.
With her 15-2 record this season – against some of the top opponents in the country – Porras was an intricate part of GW’s 14-5 season and first-ever Kurtz Cup Championship at CSA Nationals.
The Colonials finished their season ranked No. 9 in the nation, their highest ranking in program history.
