Yale Athletics

Each one of the four seniors graduating from the Yale women’s squash team got off to hot starts in their collegiate careers. Nina Mital ’25 and Meghna Sreedhar ’25 won their first college matches against No. 9 University of Virginia in November 2021, and Lindsay Westerfield ’25 secured her first NCAA victory later that month. In January 2022, Christy Lau ’25 won a matchup against Drexel, her first victory.

Over the course of the next four years, the team struggled at times but also had impressive showings. In the fall of 2022, the team once again defeated a highly ranked University of Virginia squad, with Lau and Sreedhar helping to power the team’s success. The team’s win against No. 3 Penn in February 2024 marked a new highpoint for the program. 

This year, Lau earned Second Team All-Ivy honors while Mital garnered Academic All-Ivy recognition. Mital also won the 2025 Delaney Kiphuth Student-Athlete Distinction Award for the female student athlete with the highest cumulative grade point average over four years at Yale.
