New York City Wins Back-to-Back Howe Cups
New York City won back-to-back Howe Cup titles and the city’s twentieth overall as nearly 200 players competed in the ninety-first edition U.S. Women’s Team Squash Championships, November 7-9, at the Seattle Athletic Club.
New York City set up an all-NYC final in the A division, and earned a second title in the D divsion. Boston took home the B division title and three years after making the city's Howe Cup debut, Columbus earned its first title in the C division.
“Hosting the Howe Cup was a privilege and I am so grateful we had the opportunity to host this year,” said Karen Arango, head of the Seattle organizing committee. “To be able to bring the women’s squash community together in my home town, show off Pike Place Market, the Seattle Athletic Club and our partner hotels, The Marriott on the Waterfront and The Warwick, was magical. We hosted 185 players, 37 teams, from New Hampshire to South Florida, Mexico to Southern California and up to Vancouver, bringing players together who are first time Howe Cup players with players currently on the pro tour. Howe Cup is a unique event that promotes camaraderie and competition, where players are able to make lifelong friendships. As we played our final matches on Sunday, I heard many players say to their competitors, see you next year in Philly. That’s what it's all about!”
