The top-ranked Trinity College women’s squash team won the 2024 Howe Cup on Sunday, March 3, to become the Collegiate Squash Association (CSA) national collegiate team champions. Trinity defeated No. 3 Princeton, 6-2, in the finals held in Philadelphia.
This marks the Trinity women’s squash team’s first national title since 2014, which was the last time the Howe Cup went to a team other than Harvard University. The Bantams completed an undefeated season, with a record of 17-0.
The Trinity women dominated, registering three three-set sweeps from Nouran Youssef ’24, Madeleine Hylland ’24, and Hannah Chukwu ’26. Jana Safy ’25 took down her Princeton opponent in four sets, as did teammate Lulu Palacios Benitez ’25. Kara Lincou ’27 had a tougher match before clinching the five-set win after a 14-12 rally.
