Wellesley College: Seven Sisters Champions

The Seven Sisters is an association of historically women's colleges in the northeast United States.

On the squash court, it became a battle this year between Mount Holyoke and Wellesley Colleges, two very fine and well coached teams.

ASICS Court Shoes

One of the most popular Asics court shoes on the market is the Gel Blast 5.  

 

Reviewers say the shoe is supportive but light-weight, and it has good protection in the areas where squash players tend to drag their feet.

 

It comes in a men's version and a women's version.

TRUTH & Rumors

  • ShhPhillip's Academy Head of School, and giant squash fan, John Palfrey, also teaches a Hacking Class.
    • By the time we got to the site, an hour after posting, it was already down. #SmartKids 
  • Word spread this week about a very ungentlemanly act on court during the Trinity / St. Lawrence men's regular season math.  
    • We hear a bratty boy from Trinity hurled a classless remark at the St. Lawrence player, which set off an on-court kerfuffle.
    • Coaches from both teams had to rush on court to separate the two. 
  • Speaking of brats on a squash court, a highly regarded, veteran New York middle school coach decided to sit his top two players for the national team tournament because he had had enough of their antics. 
    • When word spread, other coaches grabbed his arm to say how much they admired his decision.
    • They also said, even though they might want to do the same thing on their teams, parental pressure would never allow them to do so. 
  • The University of Virginia was a last minute scratch from this past week's men's team championships, citing weather as the reason they couldn't get to Boston.
    • Every other team in Men's College Squash made it though, including teams north, south, east and west of UVA.
  • Mike Way = Class Act
  • Word is Wesleyan University's women's team landed the prize recruit from Westminster School that every college coach wanted. 
  • In terms of money invested, fan support and number of participants, College Squash has to be considered the most successful squash league on the planet.
    • And current Presidents John Illig (men) and Wendy Lawrence (women), seem to be preparing the CSA for an even greater future. 
  • Princeton University is the main site for this year's Women's National Team Championship tournament. 
    • And in 1980, Gail Ramsay, a Penn State student and current Princeton coach, won her fourth consecutive intercollegiate singles title. She was the first college player, man or woman, to do so.
