Allan Sanchez and Carlin Rosa appear to go for the same ball. The small miscue didn’t stop the pair from defending their doubles crown.
CONEY ISLAND, N.Y. — Tyree Bastidas extended his legendary run on Sunday, capturing a record 11th National One-Wall Singles title with a dominant 21-13, 21-1 victory over his brother, Jurell Bastidas. The win capped another incredible performance by Tyree, who has long since secured his place among handball’s all-time greats.
In the most thrilling match of the day, the Bastidas brothers looked to reclaim the Men’s Pro Doubles title from defending champions Allan Sanchez and Carlin Rosa. But the Impact Pro duo showed last year’s win was no fluke, defeating the Bastidas brothers in straight games, 21-17, 21-17.
While the scores reflect two close games, the second looked to be heading toward a tiebreaker. Team Bastidas surged to a 17-4 lead, with Tyree displaying some of his finest play ever. But just when the momentum seemed irreversible, Rosa and Sanchez mounted one of the most remarkable comebacks in recent memory—rattling off 17 straight points to clinch the title.
Rosa was relentless, returning firepower with both hands, while Sanchez displayed unmatched finesse, soft hands, and surgical kills. Their composure under pressure earned them back-to-back titles and cemented their place among the sport’s elite.
In the age division action:
35+ Singles: Jonathan Davila claimed the title in his second return to the final, defeating Thomas Valenzuela, 21-9, 21-7.
40+ Singles: William Polanco topped Alvaro Rebaza, 21-9, 21-10.
40+ Doubles: Polanco and Rebaza joined forces to defeat Carlin Rosa and Yuber Castro in the day’s only tiebreaker, 21-13, 11-21, 11-5.
50+ Singles: Joe Kaplan downed Carlos Madera, 21-9, 21-10.
50+ Doubles: Kaplan completed the slam with partner Jai Ragoo, defeating Freddy Torres and Milton Jones, 21-13, 21-13.
70+ Slam: Artie Diamant added his name to the list of weekend slammers. He defeated Ed Campbell in the 70+ Singles final, 21-12, 21-5, then paired with Chris Diminico to take the doubles crown over Campbell and Vincent Ruggiero, 21-14, 21-16.
B Singles: William Huazhco won the B Singles title over Jason Eng by forfeit.
The weekend wrapped up a spectacular tournament that began under heavy rain but ended with sunshine and sensational handball. A special thanks goes to USHA Vice President Jared Vale, whose tireless efforts and unmatched leadership as event director once again ensured a first-class experience. Vale’s dedication continues to foster a positive, welcoming culture for players, officials, and fans alike.
Chris Dominico (Chelmsford, MA) stretches out for a return against Artie Diamant (West Babylon, NY) in 70+ Singles action.
CONEY ISLAND, N.Y. — Saturday’s action kicked off early as players arrived ahead of the weekend wave of beachgoers along one of New York’s most iconic boardwalks.
In 70+ action, Ed Campbell is proving he doesn’t need two—or even three—walls to dominate. The reigning Four-Wall and Three-Wall National Champion looked right at home on the concrete, cruising past Tim Murray in the semifinals, 21-6, 21-12. He’ll face Artie Diamant in Sunday’s final after Diamant dispatched Chris Dominico, 21-6, 21-11.
In the Men’s Pro division, defending Singles champion Tyree Bastidas advanced to the final without swinging a serve, as Manuel Caraballo was forced to withdraw. Tyree’s older brother, Jurell, had to earn his spot the hard way—surviving a tiebreaker against Saul Gonzalez, 21-13, 18-21, 11-5.
The Men’s Pro Doubles final will be a rematch of last year’s showdown. Allan Sanchez and Carlin Rosa overcame a strong challenge from Miguel Mendez and Yuber “Pee Wee” Castro to punch their ticket to Sunday. The Bastidas brothers were in top form, dispatching Robert Sostre and Sheikh Hossain in straight games, 21-11, 21-12.
Elsewhere, the ageless Tommy Valenzuela will meet Jonathan Davilla for the 35+ Singles title. Valenzuela, a Southern Californian and the reigning 60+ champ, entered the 35+ division this year after age brackets were consolidated—choosing to test himself against the “youngsters” in the Senior circuit.
The 40+ final will also be a familiar matchup, as William Polanco and Alvaro Rebaza renew their rivalry.
Joe Kaplan continues to steamroll through the 50+ field. He reached the singles final by dismantling Freddy Torres, 21-2, 21-8. Awaiting him is No. 6 seed Carlos “Flat Top” Madera, who continued his breakout run with a dominant win over Tony Roberts, 21-7, 21-5.
In 50+ Doubles, Kaplan teams with Jai Ragoo to face Torres and Milton Jones for the title.
Saturday also saw the tournament crown its first national champion. William Huazhco of Corona, N.Y., took home the honor after Jason Eng (Astoria, N.Y.) was forced to forfeit.
CONEY ISLAND, N.Y. — The 2025 One-Wall Nationals are off and running as first-round play began Friday under overcast skies. Heavy rain and flooding across New York and New Jersey the day before threatened to disrupt the event, but the courts dried in time for a thrilling start.
In the 50+ Singles division, Freddy Torres gutted out a gritty win over Timothy Moeller, 21-20, 21-14, in one of the day’s toughest battles. Torres will face No. 1 seed and defending champ, Joe Kaplan in Saturday’s semifinal.
Freddy Torres of Manhatten returns a shot against Brooklyn’s Timothy Moeller in the 50+ Singles.
It didn’t take long for the action to heat up in the first round of Men’s Pro Singles. Steven Poon staged an incredible comeback after facing three match points against Isaiah Hong, rallying to win 13-21, 21-20, 11-10. Both players put on a show with spectacular shot-making and extended rallies. Poon’s reward? A second-round matchup with top seed and defending champion Tyree Bastidas.
Bastidas enters this year’s tournament looking to build on his legacy. After breaking the all-time record for Open Singles titles in 2024, he’s now eyeing his 11th national crown. The path won’t be easy, with fierce challengers like his older brother Jurell Bastidas, Saul Gonzalez, and others in the draw.
In Open Doubles, reigning champs Allan Sanchez and Carlin Rosa return to defend their title after shocking the Bastidas brothers in last year’s final.
Meanwhile, the one-wall courts are drawing talent from all corners of the handball world. Masters legends Ed Campbell, Merv Deckert, Tim Murray—known for their three- and four-wall success—are testing their skills on the Coney Island concrete.

ST. LOUIS — The 2024 USHA Women’s Classic tournament was a big hit at the handball exclusive St. Louis Hinder Club. Nearly 40 ladies competed in the Classic and all of them played at least three matches.
Minnesota State University of Mankato student Clodagh Munroe brought home the first place title by defeating Ashley Ruiz in the final. Ruiz had not been beaten in the event in quite some time, winning the Women’s Classic the past three times.
Ruiz (left) and Munroe (right) put on a great show in the finals.
Munroe started fast in the final and won game one fairly quickly. Ruiz flipped the script in game two and jumped out to a 16-6 lead, and it looked like there was no doubt the match was going tiebreaker. Munroe had a late run in her thought, and battled back to tie the match at 18. Ruiz finally stopped the bleeding and closed out game two with a beautiful 35 foot back-wall flat roll out down the right side that forced the tiebreaker.
Munroe’s late run in the second game seem to tire Ruiz, and she jumped out to a big lead. Ruiz forced several side outs but struggled to score points when she was in the box. Munroe took advantage of her opportunities and took down Ruiz 11-2 to earn her first Women’s Classic title.
Munroe and Ruiz were each impressive in their semfinal victories. Munroe defeated Mikaila Esser by the scores of 21-8, 21-18 in a well played match. Ruiz played flawlessly against rising star Aoife Holden in her semifinal victory, winning 21-12, 21-4. Holden took down Esser to earn third place.
Jennifer Schmitt was routinely beating players half her age over the weekend and looked to be playing her best handball in a few years. She placed sixth place in the tournament, falling to Suzanne Entzeroth in the fifth place final.
Entzeroth with her two month old daughter, Rozlyn.
Entzeroth had her third child just two months before this tournament, and she had them cheering her on all weekend and they enjoyed watching her take fifth. Kristen Hughes and Taylor Rumping rounded out the top eight.
In the Women’s B division, rising star Taigan Rivers brought home the title by defeating Rachel Ortberg in the finals in two straight games. Rivers learned the game at Angleo State University less than a year ago and has the potential to be a great player.
Rivers (left) defeated Ortberg (right) to claim the B title.
It’s great to have a tournament spotlighting the wonderful women in our sport. The level of competition this weekend was incredibly high, and these ladies have the sport of handball in a good place. Thank you to each of them for playing and being great ambassadors for our sport.
Thank you to Missouri State Handball Association for hosting this tournament and putting on a wonderful event.

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. – The final day of action at the 2023 USHA Masters Doubles at the Los Cab Sports Club was a thrilling spectacle, featuring nail-biting tiebreakers and exhilarating finishes. The most riveting showdown was arguably saved for last in the championship-deciding match of the 50-plus division. In a clash of titans, the formidable duo of John Robles and Chris Watkins, teaming up for the first time in over five years, squared off against the powerhouse team of Eddie Silveyra and Paul Godina.
Silveyra and Godina took control early on, skillfully reading Robles’ serves and strategically maneuvering the ball around the courts to neutralize Watkins’ offensive prowess from the right side. Godina’s central court positioning disrupted their opponents, as he retrieved or rekilled those typical rally-ending shots. Despite a spirited effort from Robles and Watkins, they couldn’t break down their fresh-legged opponents who matched nearly every amazing shot thrown at them, clinching the first game 21-15.
In the second game, Robles ramped up his serves, leaving opponents swinging at air or frustratingly backing off shots that hooked into their bodies. Watkins fed off this energy and wowed the gallery with a flat roll from the right corner. Godina and Silveyra couldn’t regain their first-game edge, and the second game went to team Robles/Watkins with a score of 21-14, setting up a thrilling third frame.
The tiebreaker saw both teams locked in a fierce battle before Robles/Watkins served for the match at 10-9. A lengthy rally ensued, culminating in a kill down the middle and a celebratory roar from the newly crowned champions. It was a fitting conclusion to another fabulous event at Los Cab.
Earlier in the day, former pro and decorated doubles champion, Marcos Chavez teamed with Joe Harris to win the 45-plus title, defeating fellow SoCal players Alex Garcia and Ismael Meneses, 21-17, 21-10.
Tom Martinez and Greg Sizemore proved to be the best of the best in a stacked 70-plus division. They defeated the toughest indoor/outdoor combo team of Bob Dyke and Gary Eisenbooth in two games, 21-6, 21-7.
Arturo Suarez is simply known as “Lefty” to many, especially in his hometown of San Jose, Calif. Suarez needed two hands to carry both titles won, first in the 40-plus with Bakersfield’s George Garcia Jr., and finally in the 35-plus with San Jose’s Albert Negrete.
55-plus players Leo Canales and John Henning have battled for singles titles these past two years, so why not pair up to go for a 55-plus doubles title? They proved they were the class of their division, stopping Ralph Fregoso and Jeff Wall in two hard-fought games, 21-16, 21-14.
Dan Brennan has been a menace in the 65-plus singles field, and now he can claim a doubles title with Matt Deweese. They paired up to defeat Merv Deckert and Tom Martinez, 21-11, 21-13.
James Silla and Tom McGrath drove down Interstate 5 with one goal: Bring back a title to The Bay Area. The ran into all they could handle against the new team of William Cervantes and Gary Scogin. After two spirited close games, Silla and Mcgrath closed the door in the tiebreaker to win, 21-14, 16-21, 11-1.
In a tough 75-plus division, Dave Ackerman and Bob “Bullet” Bardwell battled a team that’s been the class of the Veteran Diamond Masters division, Terry Nett and Rob Nichols. The 21-20 first game was an indicator to how close each teams’ chances were for the win, and it was up to Team Ackerman/Bardwell to make a comeback, winning, 20-21, 21-17, 11-2.
In the 80-plus Platinum division, James Ward and Ron Cole outlasted Joel O’Connor and Mike Barnes in two hard-fought games, 21-12, 21-13. The win gave Ward his 10th age-division title and earned him his sweater and membership in the USHA’s Grand Masters Club. Remarkably, Ward’s first title was in 2008 with his second and third titles coming in a National Four-Wall slam in 2015. It’s not easy, but it can be attainable! (Ward has been untouchable in his singles division these past five years).
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the amazing players who made the trip and contributed by showing up on time for matches and assisting with referee duties. A huge thank you goes out to the Masters Doubles Committee: Gary Cruz, Marc Penick, Rob Nichols, Ralph Fregoso, Dennis Berger, and Tom Martinez. We also express our gratitude to Los Cab Sports Club for welcoming handball players and hosting our event. We eagerly look forward to returning in May 2024!
Congratulations to our newest National Doubles Champions!

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. – The second day of action at the Los Cab Sports Club offered handball fans a smorgasbord of excitement: thrilling doubles matches that set the stage for Sunday’s finals, a nail-biting tiebreaker between two pros, and an afternoon BBQ catered by former pro and Southern Cal standout, Jaime Peredes.
Vic Perez of Los Angeles emerged as the inaugural Tom Gilbert Open Singles champion, defeating Dylan Hernandez of Van Nuys, Calif., in an 11-9 tiebreaker. Both Southern California stars captivated the crowd with three riveting games of back-and-forth action. Hernandez dominated the tiebreaker initially, surging to a seemingly insurmountable 7-0 lead in the final set. However, Perez made a remarkable comeback by capitalizing on Hernandez’s slower second serve opportunities.
Hernandez conceded, “I struggled getting in my first serves. That eventually takes its toll. There’s so much energy that goes into the serve, and you have to take something off the second serve.”
Perez, a regular WPH R48Pro qualifier and an All-American collegiate star at Lake Forest, seized the opportunity and embarked on an 11-2 scoring run. This turned the tables and put pressure on Hernandez to close. The win concluded an exhilarating day where every player in the draw played multiple rounds with dropdown brackets.
Perez reached the final by defeating Fresno’s Alfonso Quitoriano, a decorated junior player who made an impressive showing by reaching the semifinals. On the opposite side of the draw, Hernandez defeated No. 2 seed Stephen Cooney of Los Angeles. The finalists were grateful for the sparring opportunity ahead of the start of the WPH R48Pro season that begins in Portland next week.
The Tom Gilbert Open was held in conjunction with the 2023 Masters Doubles hosted by the Los Cab Sports Club. This special division was designed to encourage open players who weren’t eligible for the Masters to compete alongside some of the best age division players in the country.
In Masters Doubles action, the match of the day was in the 70-plus Diamond division. Bob Dyke and Gary Eisenbooth eked out a thrilling victory against Northern California’s formidable team of Bill Wyrsch and Ed Campbell with a scoreline of 21-12, 12-21, 11-8. The standing room only gallery enjoyed exciting rallies all the way up to match point where a pass shot narrowly escaped Campbell’s outstretched hand. The winners threw their hands in the air and offered traditional handshakes to their opponents. Dyke and Eisenbooth’s weekend doesn’t get any easier as they’ll meet Tom Martinez and Greg Sizemore in Sunday morning’s final.

MAUMEE, Ohio — Another fantastic year of the USHA Three-Wall Nationals concluded Monday morning on a hot and sunny day. The weather was great all week, and players were treated to a tremendous number of entertaining matches. Sean Lenning and Danielle Daskalakis played immaculate all weekend, adding to their three-wall open singles title count. Tywan Cook wowed the crowd in his one-wall singles final performance over Nazir Marston as we welcomed several new one-wall players to the tournament. Several age divisions had incredible matches and came down to the last few points. It was an all-around exciting week of handball!
Lenning reminded everyone of his greatness when he won his astonishing fourteenth national three-wall open singles title in front of a pack crowd at the George D. Miller Handball Courts. Lenning squared off with Luis Cordova, who has been as good as anyone on the three-wall court over the last year, including beating Lenning a few months earlier in Kansas City.
Lenning came out firing and built a big lead in game one, but Cordova refused to give up. He made Lenning earn every point and seemed to tire his opponent with each rally. Lenning finally closed out game one 21-11. Game two was similar to the first, with Lenning sustaining a lead the whole way through, but Cordova was making it difficult for Lenning to cross the finish line. On the rally for match point, while running backwards, Lenning flipped the ball up to the ceiling with enough power on it to go over the head of Cordova, giving him the title. It was shot that maybe only Lenning could pull off, something we’ve come accustomed to the past several years.
Cordova was able to bounce back in the open doubles final, teaming with his brother Daniel to defeat the reigning champions of Sam Esser and Shorty Ruiz. After dropping game one by a point, the Cordovas controlled the second and third game, never allowing their opponents into the match.
Danielle Daskalakis regained her Women’s Three-Wall Open Singles title after taking last year off. Daskalakis overcame Megan Dorneker, who was coming off an impressive victory over defending champion Ashley Ruiz. Daskalakis was equally impressive in her semifinal over Mikaila Esser, which saw both players play an exceptional, hard-fought match.
Daskalakis was flawless in the final, as she was nearly all weekend. Her serves were filled with power and hop and when she earned a setup, she put it down. Dorneker, who has a very strong out the door serve herself, could never get into the match. A long match point for Daskalakis ended with a perfect left-handed pass down the right sidewall, a fitting end to an undefeated weekend across three divisions for Daskalakis. She held Dorneker to just 15 total points in the final match. Daskalakis success across different disciplines of handball is nearly unrivaled, as she boasts open singles titles on the one-wall, three-wall, and four-wall court!
Daskalakis later teamed up with Sandy Ng to win the Women’s Open Doubles division in both the three-wall, and the one-wall division. The three-wall victory came over back-to-back defending champions Mikaila Esser and Ashley Ruiz. Ng and Daskalakis played steady in both games and were able to hit their shots when it mattered most, winning 21-17 and 21-20.
In their One-Wall Open Doubles final, Daskalakis and Ng took out Beebee Miranda and Melissa Sky in two straight games.
Tywan Cook and Nazir Marston played the one-wall big ball singles final in front of a crowd filled with three-wall players who were amazed by their talent. After winning the first game, Cook rallied back from a 9-14 deficit in game two to win 15-14 and earn the title. Marston and Cook later teamed up to win the one-wall big ball doubles final over Mikey Mendoza and Los Pena in a thrilling tiebreaker.
A big thank you to all of the players who came out to support the tournament. The tournament always has a family reunion feel to it, and that’s because of the players who come year after year. Thank you to Richie Vera and the Castle Hill Handball Club for running the One-Wall events, which was a big success this year, including the Fun Division that allowed many three-wall players to try one-wall.
Lastly, thank you to the Toledo Handball Club for all of their hard work in preparing and running this tournament. The members of the club work nonstop to make sure everyone has a great time. It’s a lot of long days, and a tireless job, but their work does not go unnoticed, as they continue to put on the best tournament of the year.

MAUMEE, Ohio — Saturday was the busiest day of the tournament, and the courts were filled all day with what seemed to be a record amount of tiebreakers.
The Men’s final is set Sunday as Sean Lenning is vying for another three-wall nationals singles title. Hoping to deny him this year is Luis Cordova, who has been one of the best three-wall players on the planet this past year.
In the first Men’s Semifinal, Lenning annihilated Shorty Ruiz in two quick games and looked motivated to add to his national title collection.
In the next semifinal, Cordova was able to tame the upstart Ivan Burgos who has been on a Cinderella run this weekend.
On the women’s side, play began in the quarterfinals. Danielle Daskalakis, Ashley Ruiz, and Mikaila Esser all advanced in dominant fashion to the semifinals. Megan Dorneker also clinched a spot in the semis, outlasting Sandy Ng in a tiebreaker and avenging her loss last year to Ng.
Ruiz will take on Dornerker and Daskalakis will face off with Esser on Sunday.
Several age divisions finished up their singles draw and many national champions were crowned. Check out all of the results HERE.
Another highlight on the day was a presentation of two prestegious awards and accomplishments.
First, Rich Goosmann was honored with the USHA volunteer of the year award. Goosmann has been a tremendous ambassador of our game for many years, and continues to do so each year. He has promoted the game in Ohio and has hosted several tournaments, making each one better than the last.
Next, Michigan’s Rick Graham was honored with his Grand Master sweater, given to players who have won 10 age division national titles. Graham was quick to thank his former parnters, and most of all his family for supporting him. Graham also has a chance to add another national title this weekend in the 75 doubles. See him below as he addresses the crowd with some of his family members behind him.
MAUMEE, Ohio — The 2023 USHA Three-Wall Nationals kicked off on Thursday at the Geroge D. Miller Handball Courts at the Lucas County Rec Center.

BROOKYLN — Tyree Bastidas and Danielle Daskalakis reminded us all of their greatness with their play at the 62nd USHA One-Wall Nationals in Coney Island, each slamming in their division.
Bastidas secured his ninth USHA One-Wall Pro singles title, an astonishing achievement which now ties him with Joe Durso for most all-time singles one-wall titles. Bastidas shows no signs of slowing down as he delivered an exceptional performance in the final match, triumphing over Tywan Cook. Both players looked strong, dominating opponents throughout the entire weekend to the championship. One of the top big ball stars of the game, Cook has adeptly transitioned to small ball, a skill that was evident in the finals.
The opening of the first game saw Cook and Bastidas locked in an even match. With the scored tied 11-11, Cook missed a setup that barely went outside the lines, giving Bastidas the serve. The error proved costly, as Bastidas rattled off seven straight points en route to a 10-3 scoring run, and eventually closed out the first game 21-14.
In the second game, Bastidas started with great intensity, aiming to secure a two-game victory. He surged to a commanding 13-2 lead. Despite Cook’s refusal to give up, battling back to 9-18, Bastidas closed out the game with a 21-9 score, securing the championship.
Tournament director Jared Vale with champion Tyree Bastidas (right) and Tywan Cook (left).
Bastidas advanced to the finals by defeating Giovanni Vasquez in straight sets in the semifinal match, while Cook secured his place in the finals with an impressive victory over last year’s runner-up, Jurell Bastidas, also in two games.
Tyree has incredible power, but also the ability to place the ball with deep drives on the court, moving his opponent’s side to side. He also possesses an incredible power serve that earns him several aces. He continues to rack up the titles and is one of the all-time greats in one-wall handball.
Tyree later slammed with his brother Jurell Bastidas in a thrilling final against Carlin Rosa and Nazir Marston. After splitting the first two games, the Bastidas brothers dominated the tiebreaker, winning it 11-3.
On the Women’s Pro side, Danielle Daskalaks continued to showcase her dominance, claiming her fourth national title in one-wall pro singles. Daskalakis’s remarkable performance throughout the weekend allowed her to concede only 7 points across her three matches. Myohwa Hwee secured the second-place position, with her only defeat coming from Daskalakis in the round-robin format.
Daskalakis dazzles spectators with her shot making ability, and her opponents have no answer for her on the one-wall court. She has a tremendous left hand, where she can generate great power on the ball, while also possessing the ability to hop the ball both ways. When Daskalakis sets up for a shot, there is a good chance it is rolling out. That was especially true over the weekend.
Champion Daskalakis (right) and runner-up Hwee (left) pose with newly inducted Hall of Fame players Dori Ten (mid-right) and Barbara Canton-Jackson (mid-left) after their match.
Daskalakis further solidified her prowess by triumphing in the pro doubles division alongside her partner Tania Juarez. However, their victory was hard-fought, as Melissa Sky and Biridiana Garcia served for match point in the second game. A side out game Daskalakis and Juarez the window they needed, pushing the title deciding match to a tiebreaker. In the third frame, Daskalakis and Juarez held all the momentum to emerge victorious, 16-21, 21-20, 11-3.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Gustavo “Tavo” Ruiz became the new Men’s Pro Singles Wallball ball champion on Sunday with a dominant performance in the final, defeating Nazir “Naz” Marston, 25-11.
Both players were making their first appearance in a Men’s Singles National final. Ruiz’s years of experience proved to be the difference, as he calmly raced out to a 20-1 lead against the 21-year-old Marston. Despite the deficit, Marston didn’t get upset or argue calls. A timeout helped him regroup and he scored his first points since the early moments of the final. While supporters, hoping for a miracle, cheered Marston on, Ruiz calmly maintained his play to win his first National title.
The Women’s Pro Singles final, featuring a matchup between Jenny Qu and Melanie Garate was dedicated In Memory to Dr. Raquel Sophia Murphy Barnes. USHA Vice President Jared Vale made the announcement and cited her dedication to growing the sport on a national and international level. Once play began, defending champion Qu held off Gerate, 25-11.
In the Women’s Pro Doubles final, sisters Melanie and Jessenia Garate upended defending champions Jenny Qu and Danielle Daskalakis, 25-17.
A completely new lineup of teams competed in the Men’s Pro Doubles final. Cory Vadala and Mikey Mendoza concluded their tremendous weekend run, defeating Chris Miranda and David Velez, 25-7. Vadala and Mendoza started and finished strong, while Velez and Miranda struggled to generate offense. Miranda, nursing a nagging arm injury, was visibly hindered. Yet even a healthy opponent would have had trouble challenging the team Vadala/Mendez onslaught.
In the Men’s B Singles, Manuel Caraballo was the class of the draw, first earning the top seed, then backing it up with excellent play through four rounds. Caraballo held off Maspeth’s Juan Carlos in a tightly contested final, 25-20.
Nicholas Pappas and Mohamad Mansi were held to single digits in last year’s B Doubles final. This year, the team from Flushing earned the top seed and defeated the Bronx team of Jahsheed Petersen and Joey Gonzalez, 25-20. The entire match was contentious and close with some playful banter between rallies–the difference being Pappas and Mansi executing the shots needed to get to match point.
In the Women’s B Singles, Michelle Clara defeated Shantel Mena, 25-22 in one of the day’s most entertaining finals. Mena looked smooth against all challengers, and pushed Clara to the limit; however, playing in her second consecutive B final, Clara was not to be denied the championship.
The day earlier, in the Women’s B Doubles, Clara and partner Vanessa Louie couldn’t break through against Kayla Paredes and Myohwa Hwee. Playing at the indoor Zerega location, Hwee and Paredes won the title 21-17.
In the Men’s 40-plus final, Alex Rivera held 23-17 edge against Yuber “Pee Wee” Castro, but the two-time Small Ball Men’s Singles Champion gained a side out and began a serving clinic. Rivera could only watch as Castro’s overhand power serve quickly tightened to match to a 23-23 tie. Instead of folding under pressure, Rivera regained the serve and scored the final two points for the championship.
In the Men’s 40-plus Doubles, Robert “Iceman” Sostre returned to Nationals competition and teamed with William Polanco to defeat George Figueroa and Ray Lopez, 25-16.
Figueroa and Lopez paired to win the 50-plus Doubles over Phil Amato and Darwin Lee, 25-16.
On late afternoon Saturday, Jose Olivencia avenged last year’s final loss and defeated the defending 50-plus singles champion Ronald Beard, 21-18.
In the Men’s 60-plus final, Richard Mascia stopped Abe Mantell, 21-5.
In the first-ever Women’s Seniors (35-plus) Doubles division, Erica Mendez and Karen McConney defeated Elaine Gillard and Shena Brown, 21-12 for the championship.
With the USHA Summer Board Meeting being held prior to the tournament, many of the board members stayed and watched the action. USHA President Denis Hogan was on hand for the entire tournament, taking in the Wallball Nationals for the first time, while chatting it up with players and supporters throughout the weekend.
For the first two days, rain dampened the streets and courts of New York, but not the spirit of the players! A huge “thank you” goes to Mel Sky and Isaias Rivera of the Bronx’s Zerega Indoor Courts. Matches hummed along on the facility’s five regulation one-wall courts.
Always ready with a plan, USHA Vice President Jared Vale moved all Masters division matches to an outdoor (but dry) location at Francis Lewis Park under the Whitestone Bridge. The move was crucial to get matches done at a reasonable time with the option to play outdoors at Coney Island on the final day.
Thank you to Jared, Castle Hill’s Richie Vera, China Pizarro for amazing court management, Joanne Ly for outstanding help at Whitestone and beyond, all the referees, plus One-Wall Committee members, Alethia Mendez, William Polanco, and Anthony Jones. Special thank you to Albert Apuzzi and photographer Jose Davila. Finally, a big shout out to all the players who cooperated and made sure to hustle to each venue as we adjusted on the fly.
Players resiliently changed their routes to Coney Island and made it to the new site to compete for a chance to play in Championship Sunday’s finals. Matches were played to 21-point games (usually a wallball match is played to one 25-point game) to accommodate the smaller court capacity and disrupted schedule. Masters divisions moved to a nearby location at Francis Lewis Park, playing on the dry courts underneath the Whitestone Bridge.
A new Men’s Wallball Champion will be crowned this year when Gustavo Ruiz faces Nazir Marston in Sunday’s final. Through each round, both players increased their intensity and delivered amazing shots and unmatched athleticism that brought loud cheers to the Zerega facility.
“Tavo” Ruiz’s first hurdle was to get through David Velez in the quarterfinals. Each player was locked in, but Velez was flying all over the court making amazing returns that frustrated Tavo. Building a 19-10 lead, Ruiz was poised to advanced to the semifinals, but a focused Tavo started chipping away at his opponent’s lead. The Zerega crowd grew louder with each Tavo point as the pair reached a 20-20 tie. Knowing the next shot could send one player packing and one to the semifinals, the intensity for each ensuing rally grew. After an exchange of side outs, Tavo delivered a winning shot to the left that a diving Velez nearly reached. A gracious Velez applauded his opponent before they share a post-match handshake.
Tavo, clearly motivated by his near defeat in the quarters, wasn’t fazed in facing defending champion Tywan Cook in the semifinals. Cook did all he could to muster points, but Tavo rolled, 21-9, to punch his ticket to the National final.
On the other side of the draw, through three rounds, nobody could touch “Naz” Marston. His toughest test was facing 2022 finalist Josh Garcia, and he delivered a 21-15 win. In the semifinal, Marston found himself in a battle against Hector “Pito” Velez. With the day’s humidity increasing, players went through soaked shirts and gloves, while referee Larry DuBois watched for slides and wet spots on the floor. Pito thrived in the conditions, racing to a 19-12 lead, making the match’s remaining points a mere formality for the inevitable. Naz wasn’t ready to concede and found a new gear as a raucous crowd cheered his renewed efforts. Naz went on a 8-0 run to reach match point before Pito would score another point to reach a 20-20 deadlock. Serving for the match, Pito delivered an out serve that stunned the crowd. On the ensuing Naz serve, Pito returned the ball wide.
The Men’s final is scheduled for 12:30 EDT at Coney Island on Sunday.

SALT LAKE CITY — Killian Carroll and Catriona Casey each claimed the WPH Players Championship over the weekend. The two champions capped a sensational tournament with an impressive victory in their respective finals.
Casey took the court first on Sunday morning, with fellow Irishwomen Fiona Tully awaiting her in the Women’s Pro finals. Tully and Casey were both dominant in their semifinals, making this a highly anticipated clash.
Tully jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, but Casey went on a huge run from there, only allowing Tully another two points in the first game. Casey seemed to only be getting better as the match went on, and continued her strong play through the second game, eventually defeating Tully by the scores of 15-5, 15-5. Casey continues to be the most dominant player the tour has ever seen.
Next was the Men’s Pro Final, where Carroll was taking on Leo Canales. Canales was the breakout star of the tournament, earning impressive wins over Daniel Cordova and number one ranked pro Luis Cordova to clinch his spot in his first ever finals.
Canales showed it was no fluke he was there, as he jumped out to a hot start and built an early lead against Carroll. Canales couldn’t keep the momentum rolling though, and Carroll came back to win game one 15-11. The second game saw Carroll jump out to a big lead, and this time it was Canales who came back, eventually tying the game at 8. Carroll refocused, and scored the final few points he needed to win the match, and win the Player’s Championship.
With the WPH Pro rankings finalized, it’s official that Luis Cordova will finish the season as the tour’s number one ranked Men’s player for the first time in his career! Catriona Casey will again finish as the number one ranked Women’s player, as she has for multiple years.
Congrats to the WPH on running another incredible Pro Tour this season. Congrats to the Salt Lake City Aces for putting on an incredible tournament.

Catriona Casey delivers a smooth left-handed return. Casey won The Player’s Championship Women’s Pro division in 2022.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — The 2022-2023 WPH Pro Tour concludes this weekend at the Sports Mall with their most prestigious event: The Player’s Championship.
The Player’s Championship delivers an exciting conclusion to the 11th R48Pro season, where players compete to compile ranking points to earn end-of-season bonuses. Luis Cordova (Juarez, MEX) and Martin Mulkerrins (College Station, Texas) are currently the top two ranked players on the men’s side, and will aim to finish in the top spot this weekend. They will be joined by the likes of Paul Brady (Co. Cavan, IRE), Killian Carroll (Boston), and Sean Lenning (Tucson), among many more in the Men’s Pro bracket.
Defending Women’s champion, Catriona Casey (Co. Cork, IRE) makes her return to Salt Lake City with the hope to capture another WR48Pro crown. She is joined by fellow Irish players Fiona Tully (Co. Roscommon, IRE) and Elise McCrory (Co. Tyrone, IRE) in a very strong Women’s Pro bracket.
Robert Dyke prepares to return a serve at the Three-Wall Masters. Dyke and his partner Gary Eisenbooth won both the 60’s and the 70’s division in Tucson.
TUCSON — It was another beautiful day at the Clark Park Three-Wall Courts on Sunday as players took to the concrete to compete for a national title.
The best match of the day was the 35 doubles finals between Abraham Montijo and David Schiller vs Braulio Ruiz and Ashley Ruiz. The Ruiz husband and wife duo came out on fire to win game one, never letting Montijo and Schiller find their groove. Game two Montijo and Schiller found their serve and used an abundance of aces to force a tiebreaker.
The Ruiz family regrouped to begin the tiebreaker and held a 10-3 lead before Montijo and Schiller made a furious run to tie the game at 10. The Ruiz family forced a sideout to get in the box but could not capitalize on their two serves. Montijo and Schiller got back in the box and ended the match, winning 11-10 and completing an epic comeback.
The 60 doubles final between Tom Martinez and Joe Berman vs Gary Eisenbooth and Robert Dyke was another thriller. Eisenbooth and Dyke jumped out to a fast start and easily claimed game one. Martinez and Berman deployed a serve and shoot strategy that won them game two. Eisenbooth and Dyke controlled the tiebreaker by playing more defense, and keeping their opponents deep in the back court, a strategy that won them their first title of the day.
Eisenbooth and Dyke weren’t done there, and were vying for their second title when they took on Ed Campbell and Tim Murray in the 70 plus final. A close first game filled with strong serves by both sides went to Eisenbooth and Dyke. They kept that momentum rolling in the second game, and defeated their opponents 21-5 to win their second final of the day.
Defending champs David Ackerman and Peter Anderson put the title on the line against Bob Bardwell and Terry Nett in the 75 doubles final. Ackerman and Anderson continued their dominance, never letting their opponents into the match, and winning 21-8, 21-10.
In the Pro Doubles Final, Luis and Daniel Cordova edged out a close game one against Braulio Ruiz and Sam Esser, and dominated play in game two to win their second consecutive pro doubles title 21-16, 21-12.
Thank you to the WPH, Scott Cleveland, Russ Whitten, Jim Verhaeghe, and all other volunteers for their efforts to help put on a great tournament.

Dunne sets up on a shot at the 2023 USHA Collegiate Nationals[/caption]
TUCSON, Ariz. –The 2023 USHA Collegiate Nationals wrapped up Sunday morning with Minnesota State’s Shane Dunne and University of Limerick’s Niamh Heffernan claiming the open titles. Each player played phenomenal all weekend, especially in their final matches.
Dunne matched up with Diarmuid Mulkerrins who was in the final for the third year in a row. Dunne and Mulkerrins played even in the beginning of game one, but Dunne was able to pull away late to win 21-13. The second game Dunne raced out to a 15-0 lead over Mulkerrins, and despite a late push, Dunne maintained his lead and won 21-3, 21-10.
Dunne fought through a brutal draw to win his title. Before defeating the number one seeded Mulkerrins in the final, he defeated three seed Conor Walsh in the quarterfinals, and two seed Ray Ure in the semifinals. Dunne is in tremendous shape, and has great hands. His consistency and his commitment to playing percentage handball made the difference for him this week.
You can watch a replay of the men’s final on our YouTube Channel HERE.
Dunne teamed with teammate Mark Doyle to win the men’s open doubles division.
Heffernan sets up on a shot at the 2023 USHA Collegiate Nationals
Niamh Heffernan was very strong in her run through the women’s open division. She didn’t lose a single game along the way, and saved her best match for last in her final against Minnesota State’s Clodagh Munroe. The highly anticipated finals match was dominated by Heffernan from the beginning. Heffernan is a steady player who rarely makes a mistake. She generates tremendous power on the ball that bothered her opponents all weekend. Munroe is a special player herself, but she didn’t have the answer for Heffernan’s game today.
Heffernan teamed with Limerick teammate Sinead Meagher to win the Women’s Open doubles division.
For the second year in a row, the Minnesota State Mavericks won the open team title. Their men’s team took first place while their women’s team took second.
