Richey and Zaff Inducted Into Hall of Fame
from US Squash
March 14, 2012 - Betty Richey, the longtime women's squash coach at Vassar, and Greg Zaff, creator of the urban squash movement, were formally inducted into the U.S. SQUASH Hall of Fame at a ceremony that took place this past Saturday evening in conjunction with the U.S. Championships in Cambridge, MA.
Richey, who was honored posthumously, started the squash program at Vassar in the late 1930s and was the driving force behind the establishment of the women's intercollegiate individual tournament in 1965 and the team tournament in 1973 and helped run both until 1984. An outstanding athlete, she played on the U.S. national team in both lacrosse and field hockey and has been inducted into both their respective halls of fame.
Zaff was an outstanding collegiate player who became a major force on the professional hardball tour in the late 1980s. In 1996 he began the urban squash movement by starting the SquashBusters program in Boston. He later launched NUSEA, the coalition of urban programs and is now again the executive director of SquashBusters.
