Navy Squash Sends Three Teams to Compete at the U.S. Intercollegiate Doubles Championship

Alexander Orr (Jr / Haverford, Pa. / 14-12 season / 54-35 career), Ramsay Killinger (So / Wyndmoor, Pa. / 14-11 / 32-22), Wenqing Tang (Fr / Villanova, Pa. / 24-4 / 24-4), Michael Tierney Jr. (Fr / Berwyn, Pa. / 16-10 / 16-10), Avinash Uppuluri (Fr / Short Hills, N.J. / 3-4 / 3-4) and Hudson Poirier (Fr / Wellesley, Mass. / 10-2 / 10-2) will represent the Navy squash program at the 2025 U.S. Intercollegiate Doubles Championship set to be held Saturday at Sunday at Germantown Cricket Club in Philadelphia.

In addition to Navy's three squads, Drexel (Charlie Taylor / Thiago Cabrejos), Penn (Roger Alber Baddour / Abdelrahman Dweek), St. Lawrence (Dean Brooker / Alix DuPlessis) and Princeton (Sam Chiang / James Kontulis) will also field teams.

While Navy has sent at least one team to compete in each of the 12 previously-played U.S. Intercollegiate Doubles Championships, this will be the first appearance for five of Navy's six players. Only Orr has previously played in the doubles competition. Orr teamed up with team captain Lucas Spiro in the previous two tournaments with the pair earning a trip to the semis in 2022-23, Orr's rookie campaign.

A Navy team has played in the finals in nine of the last 12 championships (2020-21 was not held due to the pandemic). The Mids won six (2013 - Andrew McGuinness & Hunter Beck) of the nine doubles titles between 2013 and 2019, including five in a row - 2015 - Bill Kacergis & Senen Ubina / 2016 - Randy Beck & Jack Herold / 2017 Jack Herold and Senen Ubina / 2018 Michael Kacergis & Senen Ubina / 2019 Jack Lentz & Michael Kacergis). 

This year marks the fourth time the doubles championship has been held in the spring, as it had previously been held in the fall prior to the start of the regular season.
