Women's Squash Night 2024- Recap

59 girls and gals invaded Harvard's courts on September 17th for MA Squash's 12th Boston Women's Squash Night. They talked, they played, they ate, they posed for photos and then talked some more.
Thank you to the phalanx of volunteers who made the organized chaos go smoothly and created an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere.
