After the match, senior
Jeremy Keller had some final thoughts following his final match at Fordham.
"This last day was both a personal and group success since most of us won our matches and more importantly, Fordham won as a team. I'm also really happy that every senior playing today won their respective matches and ended on a high note. It's been a lot of work, training, but more importantly fun playing squash these past four years. I feel some of us have put an immense amount of work into squash, and we truly deserved going out on a win. Personally, this is an experience I won't ever forget, and if I had to go through it again, I would without hesitation. I can only wish the best of luck to the next generations of squash players at Fordham, hope they enjoy the game as much as I have, and put the work needed to keep squash alive in this school."
