(D) Epps Cup
Women’s teams ranked 25th through 32nd compete for the Epps Cup, a permanent trophy presented to the winners of the D division of the National Team Championships.
The Epps Cup is named for Patricia Epps. Epps began coaching women’s squash at Franklin & Marshall in 1978, and over the next 23 years she led the Diplomats to more than 200 wins. Epps served as the president of the Women’s College Squash Association for six years, and in 1999 she was honored with the College Squash Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Also a long-time women’s tennis coach, Epps became the first female athletics director in Franklin & Marshall’s history in 2007.
