Saint Andrew's Squash Finishes 3rd at US High School Squash Nationals

Saint Andrew’s traveled to Philadelphia, PA to compete in the 2023 US Squash High School Nationals from February 24-27.  Over 100 schools and 1,700 players participated in this fantastic tournament. Our Scots earned the #3 seeding in the boys (most competitive) Division I (Justi Cup). On Friday, the Scots swept #15 ranked Milburn High School 7-0. On Saturday, the Scots then swept the #6 ranked Episcopal 7-0 and returned to courts later that evening to face #2 ranked Haverford.  After nearly four hours of competition, the Scots fell to the Haves 3-4 in a very tight battle. On Sunday, the Scots faced the #4 ranked Brunswick School and defeated them 5-2. 

Our Scots finished the tournament in third place demonstrating the strength of our Saint Andrew’s squash program in just its second season!

The players would like to especially thank the leadership of coach Wael El Hindi and the Kinetic Indoor Racquet Club in shaping the mind, body and spirit to bring them to such a high level of play. Special shout outs to the families that attended the tournament to support the team.  The Scots will graduate two seniors this year: Yassin Emara and Charlie Pizzuti.  We thank them for their sportsmanship and excellent contributions.  Our Scots squash team looks forward to sustaining their presence at the highest level of high school squash in the years to come.  Go Scots!
