From CollegeSquashAssociation.Com: 2009 – 2010 Rochester Men’s Season Preview
“…Rochester’s monumental rise in the College Squash Association’s rankings continued last season. Since becoming coach at the beginning of the 2005-2006 season, Martin Heath has guided the team from 25th (2006), to 16th (2007), 10th (2008), and 3rd (2009) place finishes. Not surprisingly, during that period, the Yellowjackets earned the Barnaby Award, which is given to the most improved team each season, twice.

Last season’s thrilling 5-4 victory over Yale at the National Team Championships earned Rochester its 3rd place finish. The team’s goal is to continue last season’s momentum in 2009-2010. The team has strengthened its schedule, and it will host matches with Cornell, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. As with any team near the top of the rankings, Rochester is gunning to win the team championships. With Fred Reid and Adam Perkiomaki not playing this season, the Yellowjackets hope that their new recruits will fill the void.

The Yellowjackets bring an international flavor to Rochester. This year’s additions, Andres Duany (Peru), Juan Pablo Gaviria (Columbia), and Oscar Lopez Hidalgo (Mexico) bring the total countries represented on the team to thirteen: British Virgin Islands, Canada, Colombia, El Salvador, England, Finland, Guyana, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Switzerland, Ukraine, and the United States. During January, the team will train in the British Virgin Islands….”
