RhodySquash match with SquashBusters

Last Saturday (2/28) was a day of “firsts:” Our first competitive match (against our sister program SquashBusters), our first trip to Boston, and of course, Lairab’s first “Awful Awful.” Sporting our team’s red and white uniform, the RhodySquashers arrived at SquashBusters, and quickly began warm ups. Shortly thereafter, two RhodySquashers, Mitch and Nijah, volunteered to do introductions in front of the overflowing SquashBusters crowd. All the RhodySquashers played formidable opponents, with many matches extending to five games. A few RhodySquashers at the top of the ladder even claimed comeback 3-2 victories. The day ended with a team dinner at the Newport Creamery. Just two years ago, RhodySquash was an impossible dream, having now manifested into a working and successful program. In addition to confirming our progress to the nation's most established urban squash program, we've also scheduled more matches, including a clinic with the St. George's varsity team and a match with our sister program in New Haven, Squash Haven. Look forward to an article in the Providence Journal tomorrow!
