WASHINGTON – Francis X. Rienzo Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Lee Reed announced the hiring of Tim Lasusa as the inaugural head coach of the squash program on Monday. Lasusa comes to the Hilltop after spending the past four seasons as an assistant coach at Yale.
 
"I am excited and honored to be joining the Georgetown community," Lasusa said. "Georgetown has an incredible tradition of excellence in college athletics and I am thrilled to be a part of the inaugural varsity season for squash. I would like to thank Lee Reed and Kelli Myers for this amazing opportunity and I look forward to beginning this journey with the team."
 
Lasusa previously served as an assistant coach for both the men's and women's teams at Yale under coach Dave Talbott. He guided the men's squad to a top-five finish in 2019 and guided the women's team to a top-three finish in the 2020 College Squash Association rankings. Prior to his time in New Haven, Lasusa coached at the Round Hill Club in Greenwich, Connecticut and helped mentor several of the top U.S. junior players in the country.
 
"Coach Lasusa joins us in a unique and exciting position as the inaugural head coach for the Georgetown squash program," Reed said. "His experience, both as a player and coaching at a similar high-academic and top-athletic institution, will bode well for building a culture of success for the program."
 
A standout on the court himself, Lasusa played on both the PSA World Tour and the SDA Pro Tour, reaching the US Singles National Championship quarterfinals in 2017.
 
Lasusa graduated from St. Lawrence in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts in art/art history and a minor in sports studies and exercise science. He played all four years for the Saints, helping St. Lawrence to a No. 1 ranking in 2015 and serving as captain of the 2016 National Championship semifinalist team.
