Women’s squash takes national title

Trinity College’s women’s squash team won the 2023–24 Howe Cup Collegiate Squash Association (CSA) national championship by downing Princeton University 6–2 in the finals, held in Philadelphia on March 3. The Bantams recorded an undefeated season with a record of 17–0. The national championship was the fourth for the women’s team, which previously won in 2002, 2003, and 2014.

Following the season, longtime coach Wendy Bartlett announced her retirement after 40 years leading the program, as well as coaching women’s tennis. Under her guidance, the women’s squash program appeared in 12 CSA national championship final matches. “[Bartlett] is a teacher, mentor, role model, and friend to legions of Bantam students,” said Trinity Director of Athletics Drew Galbraith. “She bled blue and gold and will always be a big part of the Trinity family.”
