The Huskies return for the 6th year of Northeastern Squash. The team is particularly
excited after hiring a new coach, Chris Reighluth. Chris graduated from Colby College
in 2003 after a senior year as Captain, and has since been playing
in the Boston area. After considering several candidates, the team thinks Chris
will make an excellent addition to the Huskies, and can help to continue the successful
program at Northeastern.
Men's Preview
The Northeastern Men's
Squash team looks to improve on their 24 ranking in the upcoming season.
Leading them will be first year head coach, Chris Reigeluth. Coach Reigeluth
graduated from Colby College in 2003 where he started for four years
and served as a Captain. The Northeastern Men will be rebuilding this
season after losing four graduating seniors including all-time wins
leader, Chris Birkins, former Co-Captains, Clay Quarles and Darius Wilsey,
and the talented Taylor Yawney. Some additions to the team include
David Moser who hails from Switzerland
and freshmen, Keith Sprout, Gentry Bain and Daniel Hsu, and sophomore,
Christopher Larue. Juniors, Pedro Souza and Senior Buddy Scott
will captain the team.
Northeastern's
schedule provides many opportunities to improve and learn from
talented teams including Bowdoin, Amherst,
Bates and Yale. Northeastern will also play traditional rivals including
Tufts, Hamilton, MIT, Connecticut College, Wesleyan,
Colby and Stanford. Northeastern will once again compete to become
the top-ranked club team in the country. The Huskies claimed that spot
in 2008 with a tight 5-4 victory at Nationals, while Denison regained
the title last year.
