Honda Dealers Open VANCOUVER – Andrew McDougall of Calgary continued his strong play at the B.C. Honda Dealers Open men’s professional squash tournament Friday pushing fourth seed James Snell of England to the five-game limit in his quarterfinal. The competition hosted by the Jericho Tennis Club is the fifth stop on the Canadian circuit and also a stop on the men’s Professional Squash Association (PSA) tour. Snell finally took the hour-long match 11-5, 11-7, 3-11, 7-11, 11-4. It was the second night in a row McDougall went the distance. He needed five games to eliminate Matthew Serediak of Saskatoon on Thursday. “I was kind of surprised to come back after dropping the first two games,” said McDougall. “James was definitely in his comfort zone and I needed to do something to make him guess a bit more. I mixed up my shots a bit more and that seemed to work. But in the fifth he just played better than me.” It’s been a good fall season for McDougall who reached his first career pro semifinal last month and has advanced to the quarters at the last two pro tournaments. “I’m definitely playing a lot better,” said McDougall. “I feel I understand the game a lot more.” For complete story: http://www.squash.ca/e/story_detail.cfm?id=2966
