Following the Ivy League’s decision to cancel winter sports at the beginning of the semester, 2020 was a roller coaster and a heartbreaking year for athletes at Columbia.

Columbia squash began this decade not as the national powerhouse it is today but as a club sport with great promise. However, right before the start of the 2010-2011 academic year, then-Athletic Director M. Dianne Murphy announced the elevation of squash from a club sport to a varsity team.

USA Field Hockey has named Caroline Nelson-Nichols as the new U.S. Women’s National Team head coach. Nelson-Nichols departed from her role as the head coach of Columbia’s field hockey team, a position she held for five seasons, with a total of 41 wins and 43 losses.

With two minutes and 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter, junior midfielder Kelsey Farkas found the back of the net off an assist from senior midfielder Jennifer Trieschman, bringing the season’s last contest with Harvard to a final score of 2-1.

In an away game on Saturday, the No. 7 Tigers dismantled the Lions 8-1 in a dominant performance that began in just the first 15 minutes of the match.

In back-to-back contests on Saturday and Sunday, Columbia field hockey fell in hard-fought games to Cornell and No. 21 University at Albany.
