The Rye Boys Squash team suffered a 5-2 defeat against Darien in their final regular season match on February 4, 2026. Despite the loss, the Garnets' performance was their best in their last five consecutive defeats. Senior players Michael Talbott and Henry Ellis secured the two wins for Rye, but the team narrowly missed an upset victory after close losses in the #5 and #7 slots.

Why it matters

The Garnets' strong season has resulted in a shared second-place finish in the Fairwest League for the second straight year. While they were unable to pull off the upset in their final regular season match, the team is looking forward to getting their top player, Charlie Rodilosso, back in the lineup in time for the US HS Squash Nationals tournament in Philadelphia.
