Four Crimson players secured All-America honors last weekend at the CSA Individual Nationals. Kayley Leonard ’19, Sabrina Sobhy ’19 and Alyssa Mehta ’18 all finished in the top 10 (First Team). Leonard had a great run and reached the semifinals before losing against Trinity’s Kanzy El Defrawy (who went on to win this year’s title). Meanwhile, Bryan Koh ’17 made the second team on the men’s side.

It was a memorable event which highlighted the long history of college squash and successful legacy of the Harvard programs. The CSA also honored former Harvard Head Coach Bill Doyle who was inducted to the Men’s CSA Hall of Fame this year. Doyle had already been an inductee in the Women’s CSA Hall of Fame in 2007 but is now recognized for all his accomplishments on the men’s side as well.
Congratulations to Bill Doyle and all of our past champions!
