Howe Cup Champions

​​Squash Revolution Trains the best Squash Players

Last weekend, Washington D.C. hosted the annual Howe Cup Championship, the largest US women's national squash tournament. Women from around the country came together to challenge their squash game in four divisions. This year, women squashers of the District were proud to win very impressive titles against a very challenging competition.

​The A Division team, DC ACES, crushed its opponents, winning every match without losing a single game all throughout the tournament. The drive and determination of the five players was inspiring. Margaret Gerety and Maria Porras, two out of the five champions, trained with Sergio Lopez and Mubarak Mohsin, Squash Revolution Coaches, in preparation for this event. "This is the second year Margaret and I participated in the Howe Cup, and we were hungry for the Win" - Maria Porras. All that squash training paid off to secure the coveted Silver Cup!

​On the B division, the DC team, NCS Lob-B-ists, battled its way in a draw with over 16 participating teams, clinching an impressive third place finish after falling to the division runner up. Similarly, the team on the C division, DC United, faced some tough opponents and very intense competition, yet it was still able to secure a third place finish after a hard-fought 3-2 victory in the last round.

Prior to the tournament, all five members of the B team had been taking squash Clinics and training on a weekly basis with Squash Revolution coach, Fabien Sarran, at the Capitol Hill Sport&Health location. Similarly, three of the players on the C team had been taking weekly lessons with Fabien and with Squash Revolution’s newest coach, James Reiss, all at Capitol Hill Sport&Health. Teammates of one of the players on the the B team who went undefeated throughout the event mentioned that, "Sarah played the best they’ve ever seen in this tournament.”

The players who represented DC at the Howe cup demonstrated great determination on court, and more importantly, they prove that hard work during training really pays off. Getting to their level and obtaining the results they have obtained, does not just happen from one day to the other, and it surely takes more than playing casual round robins and some friendly matches. Those who train with Squash Revolution know this; especially because our coaches truly push them to achieve their best, whether it’s through one-on-one training or highly structured group clinics.

The Howe Cup 2018 may be a year away, but the women who represented DC in the 2017 edition, will continue training and further improving their skills. Here at Squash Revolution, we are ready to help you be the next Howe Cup champion. So what are you waiting for? We offer lessons, clinics, and more at any of the five DMV Squash Club locations.

​We are looking forward to the next win !
