2008 UC Berkeley Open Tournament Results
One of our best tournaments ever, was highlighted by a very strong turn out from the womens squash community. 27 women entered the draw, which was almost half our entrants. Lily Lorentzen took the womens championship division and with it the crown of "Best Womens Player in the Bay Area."
A great showing from Club Sport Fremont was also much appreciated. 7 players from Fremont played in the tournament. Raj Bains and Aurangzeb Khan both got to the final of their division, while Muhammed Haq won the 5.0 division. Also from Fremont was the Huang family contingent. Johann won both draws he entered and Pei-Mei won the womens novice draw.

Cal Womens Squash Team Established!!
Behold the new Cal Women's Squash Team. Led by freshman Zarina Khan, (not in picture) the newly formed women's squash team is taking its first tentative steps onto the courts. Although all the players are brand new to the sport, they are enthusiastic and ready to learn the game. I hope that this team will usher in a new era in Cal Squash history. Pictured left to right holding racquets recently donated to the team by Dunlop are: Rachel Chiu, Natalie Bratwood, Allie Giovanelli, Jenny Cheng, Yating Liu and Coach Kayler

2007 Ralfe D. Miller Tournament Results
Thanks to our sponsors Black Knight and Dunlop and to everyone who helped put on another great Cal Squash tournament. There were 61 competitors in this year's tournament.
The standout player of the tournament was Roger Miller who competed in three divisions and won all three. 5.0, 4.5 and Boys U-19. An amazing performance. Roger flew in from Portland for this tournament where he plays under the tutelage of Khalid Mir.
It was also great to see the very youngest players (9 year old Zephan Huang and 8 year old Shivalli Naran) who competed with big smiles and big swings.
