Bates College is pleased to announce the appointment of Nadiia Usenko as the new head coach of its men's and women's squash programs, effective June 2, 2025.
A decorated international player and rising coaching talent, Usenko joins Bates after serving as Assistant Coach at Amherst College, where she helped guide both programs to significant competitive success in the NESCAC and beyond.
A former captain and MVP at Trinity College, Usenko brings with her an elite playing background, including seven national titles as Ukrainian National Champion and a highest Professional Squash Association (PSA) world ranking of #76. Her coaching résumé is equally impressive: at Amherst, she contributed to multiple All-NESCAC selections, academic honors, and team championship finishes. She is currently completing her Master of Science in exercise & sport studies at Smith College.
