Cambridge, MA — Samantha Rosado of Mount Holyoke was named the 2015 Wetzel Award winner.

The Wetzel Award is presented annually to a senior who began playing squash in college and has progressed to a high level of skill, demonstrates sound understanding of the game, and exhibits good sportsmanship and a positive demeanor on the court.

To be eligible for this award, candidates may not have played squash before coming to college, and this limitation includes informal play as well as formal instruction. In essence, a player would not have picked up a squash racquet before coming to college.

Candidates for the award are evaluated by a committee of college coaches. The player who wins the award must show outstanding growth technically as a player (records and results), a sound understanding of the rules of squash, and positive on-court poise and demeanor.

The award is named for former University of Pennsylvania coach Ann Wetzel. During the more than 20 years she coached at the University of Pennsylvania, Wetzel taught hundreds of women the game of squash. Wetzel was inducted into the Women’s College Squash Hall of Fame in 1995 and the U.S. Squash Hall of Fame in 2003.

This year’s award was presented at the Women’s National Team Championships, which were hosted by Harvard University.

Rosado, a Psychology and Spanish double major, played tennis, volleyball, and softball in high school. During her first year at Mount Holyoke, she played volleyball and squash and received the most improved player honor in both sports.

During her first year playing squash, Rosado played in the lower third of the Lyons’ ladder. She went 5-0. By her sophomore season, she moved into the third position for Mount Holyoke. She recorded a 11-11 record. Continuing her tenure in the top third of Mount Holyoke’s ladder, she went 9-11. At the DIII Invitational, Rosade captured the consolations of the B Division. For her senior campaign, Rosado concluded with a 10-17 overall record. She was a 2015 College Squash Association Scholar Athlete.

She is the second player from Mount Holyoke to win the Wetzel Award.

fm-williamsHartford, CT — Franklin & Marshall College and Williams College won the 2015 Sloane Award for Team Sportsmanship.

Since 1981, the Men’s College Squash Association has given an award to recognize the team that best exemplifies the ideals of sportsmanship throughout the season. The award was renamed in honor of former Williams and Haverford coach Sean Sloane in 2005; Sloane’s squad at Williams won the first team sportsmanship award in 1981.

Franklin & Marshall and Williams were recognized by their peers for their outstanding sportsmanship. Each year, coaches discuss with their teams which team they feel is deserving of this award. Coaches then vote on the award at the National Team Championships, with each team getting one vote. This year, the awards were presented on the final day of the Men’s National Team Championships, which were hosted by Trinity College.

Franklin & Marshall finished the season with a 13-9 record. The Diplomats went 0-3 at the 2015 Men’s National Team Championships and finished the season ranked 8th in the nation.

Williams went 14-11 on the season. At the 2015 Men’s National Team Championships, the Ephs defeated Navy, 5-4, on the final day of the tournament to finish the season ranked 15th in the nation.

Franklin & Marshall is led by head coach Gavin Jones and associate head coach Ron Epps. Brian Henry and Alex Arjoon were the 2014-2015 captains.

Williams is led by head coach Zafi Levy and assistant coach Blair Dils. Nick Greaves-Tunnell and Chris Willkinson were the 2014-2015 captains.

This is the first time Franklin & Marshall has been presented with the Sloane Award. Williams previously won the Sloane Award at the conclusion of the 1980 – 1981, 1983 – 1984, and 2006 – 2007 seasons. This is the second time in college squash history that the Sloane Award has been awarded to two teams in one season.
