Welcome to a brand new edition of Squash University! This week, Gilly and Jackson are back with a preview of the 2025 CSA Divisional Team Championships and an interview with one of college squash’s fastest rising stars, Riya Navani. 

The guys kick things off previewing this weekend’s Divisional Championships and Gilly makes his predictions (yes, you read that correctly, GILLY PREDICTIONS!!!) for who he thinks will come out of each bracket (0:33). 

Still in the midst of her freshman season at Stanford University, Riya Navani has already put the college squash world on notice. The two-time US Junior National Champion has held the #1 position for the Cardinal all season and last month she advanced to the finals of the CSA Individual National Championships. 

Riya joins Squash University to talk to Gilly and Jackson about the ups and downs of her season, dealing with jet lag, staying close to home for college, her run at Individuals, her excitement for next weekend’s Team Nationals, and more (26:24). 

Huge thanks to Riya for joining us this week, huge thanks to you for listening along, and, as always, enjoy!
