National Champion Trinity College Women's Squash Team Celebrates At Fenway Park     
by Rob Dinerman

Dateline April 12, 2025 --- This past Wednesday evening the Trinity College Women’s Squash Team, fresh off having successfully defended their 2024 Howe Cup championship just over a month ago, celebrated their achievement on the field of Fenway Park prior to the Red Sox game against the Toronto Blue Jays. They were accompanied in this event by Trinity’s men’s basketball team, which culminated their season by winning the NCAA Division III championship for the first time in the history of the program. Both teams’ appearance was at the invitation of Red Sox President (and Trinity College alum Class of 1995) Sam Kennedy.

The top two photos show Trinity senior Lujan “Lulu” Palacios --- who won a crucial match with a late rally after trailing Molly Stoltz two games to one in the Bantams’ thrilling 5-4 Howe Cup final-round victory over Harvard --- throwing out the ceremonial first pitch (along with men’s basketball coach James Cosgrove) and then exulting after her pitch was a perfect strike. The bottom two photos are of the Trinity women’s squash team, including its first-year coach Lauren Patrizio (with her twin children Zoe and Zac Xaba), and Trinity’s legendary men’s coach Paul Assaiante with Kennedy.
