No. 14 Navy opens its 2026-27 squash season on the road with four matches against St. Lawrence, Western, Kenyon and Denison. The Mids are coming off a 24-6 season—their most wins since 2012-13—and return a roster led by junior Wenqing Tang, who went 27-2 last season.

By the Numbers
  • Navy’s 24 wins last season were its most since the 2012-13 team went 25-9.
  • Tang went 27-2 in 2025-26, including 27-0 in team competition.
  • Navy’s all-time records this week: 8-4 vs. St. Lawrence, 6-14 vs. Western, 5-0 vs. Kenyon and 24-9 vs. Denison.
Yes, But

Navy defeated St. Lawrence, Western and Denison last season, but Western holds a 14-6 advantage in the series overall. The Mids also open against a ranked schedule, including No. 15 Western and No. 29 Denison.

State of Play
  • Navy is ranked No. 14 in the preseason, its highest such ranking under ninth-year head coach Tyler Osborne.
  • The four-match road swing begins Thursday against No. 28 St. Lawrence in Washington, D.C., then continues in Granville, Ohio, against Western, Kenyon and Denison.
  • Tang headlines the projected lineup; freshman Mateo Maes is set to make his collegiate debut at the No. 4 position.
What’s Next

After the opening road weekend, Navy returns to Annapolis for its Veterans Day Weekend Round Robin, where it will face Fordham, Yale and Georgetown.

Bottom Line

Navy begins the season with a chance to build on its best campaign in more than a decade—and to test its No. 14 ranking immediately against a demanding slate.
