The 2025 U.S. Women’s Masters Championships produced seven first-time champions, while Carole Grunberg earned her sixth national title and first in the 70+ age division, April 4-6, at the Arlen Specter US Squash Center in Philadelphia.
More than sixty women competed in the U.S. Women’s Masters and Skill Level Championships, which was held as a stand alone event for the second year in a row, and offered skill level draws in addition to the Masters national championships divisions. Results in the Masters and Skill Level divisions contributed to the second annual City Cup, which Philadelphia claimed for the first time.
