US Squash is proud to announce that the grand opening of the Peggy & Leo Pierce U.S. Squash Hall of Fame will be held in conjunction with the 2022 U.S. Masters Squash Championships, April 1-3, at the Arlen Specter US Squash Center in Philadelphia. The highlight of the weekend—on the evening of April 2—will be the dedication of the spectacular new Peggy & Leo Pierce U.S. Squash Hall of Fame space at the Specter Center and the induction of a new class of inductees to join the current sixty-five members of the Hall of Fame.

“There is no higher honor in the sport than membership in the Hall of Fame,” said Kevin Klipstein, US Squash President & CEO. “The Hall of Fame’s permanent home in the Specter Center, made possible through the generosity of the Pierce Family, will meaningfully celebrate the far-reaching impact that inductees have had on the sport’s past and future. As the Hall of Fame moves into this new era, we also are grateful Yale University for acting as a wonderful host for the last fifteen years.”

The best of college squash will be on display throughout this weekend with a full schedule and several mouthwatering matchups up and down the rankings.


College squash teams were able to play a full schedule this weekend, and the matches were competitive and fun to watch all weekend long. Trinity College, Drexel University, and Brown University were three institutions with both men’s and women’s teams earning notable victories this weekend, but the road to the championships is just heating up.

One of the benefits of the U.S. Open arriving at Drexel University in 2011 has been a myriad of interactions between the squash community and Drexel professors. Eric Zillmer and Nyree Dardarian are two great examples of the integration. Zillmer and Dardarian have now written an essay, “Match Analysis in Squash” in a new book, Match Analysis: How to Use Data in Professional Sport.
