Hosts Egypt proved too strong at the International University Sports Federation World University Championship Squash, winning all three titles on offer in Cairo.

Sana Ibrahim and Mostafa Asal won the respective women's and men's singles crowns before the former helped Egypt capture the team title.

Both singles finals were all-Egyptian affairs with the top two seeds battling it out for glory.

Ibrahim was involved in a titanic tussle with Nour Aboulmakarim before her opponent succumbed to injury when trailing 5-2 in the fifth game.

After dropping just one point in the opening game, Ibrahim looked in firm control only to lose the next two to a resurgent Aboulmakarim.

Ibrahim battled hard to edge a closely fourth game to force a decider before Aboulmakarim retired hurt to hand her rival a 11-1, 4-11, 8-11, 11-8, 5-2 victory.

The men’s singles final was far less dramatic, with world number three Asal powering to a 11-5, 11-7, 11-8 win over compatriot Moustafa Elsirty.

The result meant Asal went the entire tournament without dropping a single game.

Elsirty did not take long to bounce back from his defeat as he played a key role in Egypt’s team success against France.

After losing the first game to Edwin Clain, Elsirty showed true grit and determination to overhaul the Frenchman to compete a 10-12, 11-7, 11-8, 11-5 victory.

Egypt then finished the job when Ibrahim dismissed Lea Barbeau 11-3, 11-5, 11-2.
