List of college squash schools

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of colleges and universities in the United States and Canada that field squash as a varsity sport or a club sport and are members of the College Squash Association (CSA). There will be 34 varsity programs and 30 club teams for the 2023–24 season. Conference affiliations are current for the upcoming season. All varsity teams and most club teams compete in the annual College National Team Championships in February, which consists of 8 playoff divisions of 8 teams each as of 2020.[1] The top 8 teams compete for the Potter Cup while the next 8 teams compete for the Hoehn Cup. The two most prominent conferences that sponsor and have full participation in college squash are the Ivy League and the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC).[2] Schools of every conference compete together regularly. Trinity Bantams and Harvard Crimson have dominated the top division. These two schools have combined to win 36 of the past 43 titles since 1980.[3]
