After accumulating the most wins in a season in program history and collecting their first team victory at the Liberty League Championship, the Bard College Men’s Squash team is making important strides in the development of their program. Under Coach Craig Thorpe-Clark’s leadership, the team continues to add skilled players who have been gradually boosting their team ranking in recent years. This season will pose the toughest challenge on their rise in recognition as they lose half of their starting lineup from last year’s CSA Team Championships. Senior Rhys Nordstrom will provide much needed experience at the top of the ladder, especially with five new players joining the roster for the 2018-2019 season. Keep an eye on Bard as they continue to learn and grow under Coach Thorpe-Clark’s tutelage.
