SBU Olympic Sports / Re: Stony Brook Squash
« on: November 22, 2023, 09:49:02 pm »
I covered SBU squash for the Statesman, and was on the team in the early 1980s.
I played competively, at a teaching pro level, for a few decades until switching to tennis. I just started playing squash again.
Squash was never an NCAA sport.
SBU was ranked in the top 10 in the country four times. Goldstein was the University's first All-American athlete.
When the new administration came in and changed the name to Seawolves (ughh!), they didn't give a damn about squash, and they
were disrespectful to Coach Snyder, which drove him away. He never entered the gym again, and even refused an honour. Shameful
