NEW YORK – The Columbia men's and women's squash teams will get the season started Sunday when they host Virginia. The matches begin at StreetSquash in Harlem at 12 p.m. ET.
The women's team enters the season ranked No. 10 after finishing last season with a 5-8 overall record and 3-3 mark in conference action. The women took sixth place at the CSA Nationals last season.
Individually, Simmi Chan became the first national champion in program history as she defeated Cornell's Sivasangari Subramaniam in the Ramsay Cup final, 2-11, 12-10, 11-5, 13-11. With the win, Chan capped off a perfect 16-0 collegiate season as a sophomore. Additionally, Chan earned First Team All-American recognition for her success.
The men's team starts the season ranked No. 8. The men are coming off a 7-8 finish last season with a 1-5 mark in conference play. Columbia wrapped up the season by defeating Dartmouth, 6-3 to win the Hoehn Cup at the 2023 College Squash Association (CSA) Men's Team National Championships. It marked the second time Columbia has won the Hoehn Cup and the first time since 2000. As victors of the B Division, the Lions earned a ninth-place final ranking and national finish.
Virginia enters Sunday's contest with its women's team ranked No. 6 and its men's team ranked No. 7. The Columbia women dropped a narrow 4-5 contest to Virginia in the season opener last year. The men's team also lost to Virginia in the season opener a year ago by a score of 3-6.
