This weekend, the squash courts at the Murr Center play host to the NISRA/WISA individual championships.
Squash players from the top schools in the country will square off against one another, determining the best player in the country and the All-America teams. The tournament, which seeds the participants, takes place over the next three days and crowns a champion on Sunday.
