Harvard Women’s Squash finished the 2025–26 season with a 9-4 overall record, maintaining a position in the top five of the national rankings throughout the year, according to a May 26 recap from Cambridge, Massachusetts. The team relied on experienced leadership and contributions across its lineup while competing at a high level in both Ivy League and national events.
The Crimson began their campaign with wins over Dartmouth and Virginia, followed by additional Ivy League victories against Columbia and Cornell. The team built early momentum through strong performances and consistent play during the opening part of the schedule. Notable highlights included a 6–3 win over No. 3 Stanford and a 7–2 victory against No. 5 Trinity.
In conference play, Harvard recorded another decisive result with a 9-0 win over Yale amid challenging matches against Penn and Princeton. The squad consistently faced some of the nation’s strongest programs while demonstrating improvement throughout the season.
Harvard advanced to postseason competition at both the inaugural Ivy League Tournament—where it played a closely contested semifinal against Penn—and at the College Squash Association National Team Championships, concluding its run as a national semifinalist.
The end of this season also marked the graduation of key seniors whose leadership shaped team culture. Senior co-captain Saran Nghiem received several honors, including the CSA Betty Richey Award, First Team All-America selection, and All-Ivy League Second Team recognition. Co-captain Molly Stoltz was named Academic All-Ivy recipient for her contributions on and off the court. Sophomore Caroline Fouts and junior Lucie Stefanoni earned spots on both All-Ivy League First Team and CSA All-America First Team; Fouts reached the Ramsay Cup Final at CSA Individual Nationals to finish as National Runner Up.
The program described this past year as reflecting commitment, competitiveness, and growth across its schedule while continuing to build toward future seasons.
