Khan Crowned Goshen Queen In Indiana

Latasha Khan became the first US winner of the Women’s Subway Goshen Open after upsetting top-seeded Malaysian Sharon Wee in the final of the $6,000 WISPA World Tour squash event at Wellington House in Goshen in the US state of Indiana.

Second seed Khan, the 36-year-old former world No18 from Seattle, reached the final without dropping a game.

And after finishing as runner-up in last year’s final, world No25 Sharon Wee was hoping to go one better this year.

But Khan was too strong on the night, marching to an 11-5, 11-9, 11-8 victory in 36 minutes to earn her second Tour title of the year.
