Squash honor

Bowdoin senior Zoe Wood has been named the 2018 recipient of the College Squash Association’s Wetzel Award in honors announced this weekend.

The Wetzel Award is presented annually to a senior who began playing squash in college and has progressed to a high level of skill, demonstrates sound understanding of the game, and exhibits good sportsmanship and a positive demeanor on the court.

Wood finished out a fantastic career with eight wins this season, playing at the No. 5 position for the Polar Bears. She picked up a pair of wins at CSA Team Nationals this past weekend against Georgetown and Mount Holyoke.

Wood is the third Bowdoin player to earn the award in its 23-year history, joining Tara Dugan and Michaela Martin. She was awarded the honor prior to Sunday’s Epps Cup final against William Smith.

The award is named for Ann Wetzel, the 1964 national champion who founded the University of Pennsylvania’s women’s varsity team in 1970. During the more than 20 years she coached at the University of Pennsylvania, Wetzel taught hundreds of women the game of squash.

Wetzel was inducted into the Women’s College Squash Hall of Fame in 1995 and the U.S. Squash Hall of Fame in 2003.
