Two-Time National Champ Women's Squash Announces Class Of 2012
June 12, 2008 | Women's Squash
Gail Ramsay, head coach of the two-time defending national champion Princeton women's squash team, announced the three members of her Class of 2012.
One name that will be quite familiar to Princeton fans is Daphne Rein-Weston, the youngest sister of Princeton squash alumni Annie '04 and Claire '07. Both played No. 1 for significant periods at Princeton, and Claire was a recipient of the 2007 Von Kienbusch Award, given to the top female student-athlete at Princeton. Daphne doesn't come to Princeton with the same international experience of her sisters, but she has all the potential to become another standout player. She has trained extremely hard over the last 2.5 years and will train this summer in Egypt. A highly-ranked junior player, Ramsay is hoping she can adjust to the college game quickly and can become an immediate contributor near the middle of the lineup.
The third-ranked recruit in the country, Katie Giovinazzo is coming off a fifth-place finish at 2008 U.S. National Championships. She has always been ranked among the top-12 at her age level. She is a Poly Prop graduate who played for the Heights Casino club. Giovinazzo could be an immediate contributor near the middle of the lineup.
Clare Kuensell, a graduate of the Philadelphia-area Shipley School, finished in the Top 8 at 2008 U.S. National Championships. The fourth-ranked collegiate recruit this year, she has been a top-10 ranked player at her age level throughout the early part of her career, and she is playing her best right now. Former men's captain and women's assistant coach Dent Wilkins has been coaching her recently, and she will also look to make an immediate contribution to the team.
