Not sure how many of you know this, but when I was an UG at SBU in the late 1970's/early 1980's, we had a Squash team, which was Division 1 - our only D1 sport, I believe, until we upgraded our athletics department with the overall move to D1.

Not sure how many Squash teams there were in the country, but we ranked in the nation's Top 20, 24 different seasons.  And to top it off, we had an NCAA All-American player, Stu Goldstein (class of '1974), who went Pro, and ranked # 1 in the world internationally for 2 of his 8 pro years.  He also was a subsequent large donor to the University.

Here's an article on that:

Pretty cool stuff.   Anyone know why we disbanded squash as an intercollegiate sport?

Stuart was also the RA in Kelly A when I was a freshman there in ‘75. I remember him clearly.
