The Howe Cup is one of the oldest and most treasured prizes in women’s squash. Launched in 1928 as an inter-city competition among teams from New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, the Howe Cup grew during the early 1970s into a national competition, which has been dominated by Ivy League teams.
The collegiate division began in 1972 as the brainchild of Princeton coach Betty Howe Constable along with Pennsylvania coach Ann Wetzel, both of whose teams had won national championships. Constable’s mother, Margaret Howe, donated the trophy for the intercollegiate tournament, and Yale was selected as the host university.
Sine 1973, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale have captured every Howe Cup, with Princeton leading Harvard, 14-11, in titles. In addition, Ivy women have won the Women’s Intercollegiate Squash Racquet Association individual national championships in every year since 1982. Princeton’s Wendy Zaharko (1972, ’74, ’75), Penn’s Alicia McConnell (1982-84), and former Tiger and current Penn head coach Demer Holleran (1986, ’87, ’89) are the lone three-time champions.
