STANFORD, Calif. – Mark Talbott has been named Mid-Atlantic Squash Conference Coach of the Year for the third-consecutive season, the conference announced today. Talbott guided the Cardinal to an 11-3 season, winning a third-consecutive MASC championship and finishing third in the Howe Cup.
Stanford's season featured a seven-game winning streak, including four top-10 victories. The 11 wins on the season marked the most single-season wins by the team since winning 16 in 2017-18.
In the last three seasons, Talbott's Cardinal have gone a combined 30-13 with consecutive 10-win seasons. The strong run continues an emphatic turnaround for the Cardinal since going 0-11 in the 2021-22 season.
Talbott arrived on The Farm in 2004 as the director of a newly-established squash program. In the two decades since, he has continued to develop Stanford into a top contender, producing eight All-Americans and 16 All-America honors, while also directing a program focused on community outreach and junior player development.
