Lopez Hidalgo joins the Big Green following a successful season at Trinity
HANOVER, N.H. — Douglas A. Donahue Jr. 1973 Head Coach of Men's and Women's Squash Vikram Malhotra has announced the hiring of Oscar Lopez Hidalgo as an assistant coach for his programs. Lopez Hidalgo joins the Big Green following a season as an assistant women's squash coach at Trinity College.
"We are excited about the new addition to our coaching staff and are fortunate to have someone with Oscar's extensive squash experience and a fresh perspective," Malhotra said. "With our collective effort, the coaching staff is determined to have a great season ahead!"
Lopez Hidalgo heads to Hanover following a successful season with the Trinity Bantams. He helped oversee an 18-1 campaign, which included a run to the College Squash Association (CSA) national championship match. The Bantams came up just short of a Howe Cup after entering the tournament as the No. 1 team in the nation.
His duties as assistant coach included running team practices and training sessions, recording matches to review with student-athletes and recruiting. He also created fitness programs throughout the year, managed the team's budget and coordinated travel plans.
Prior to his time with Trinity, Lopez Hidalgo served as a volunteer assistant at his alma mater, the University of Rochester. During his tenure with the Yellowjackets they earned two Liberty League Coaching Staff of the Year awards (2016-17, 2019-20).
Outside of collegiate squash, Lopez Hidalgo served as the head squash professional at the Genesee Valley Club in Rochester, New York, from 2014-22. He developed and coached multiple players into collegiate squash athletes
Lopez Hidalgo was an accomplished collegiate squash student-athlete at Rochester, excelling during a four-year career. In his senior season he served as a co-captain and posted a 12-7 record, finishing his career as the No. 38 player in the nation, according to the CSA. A four-time Liberty League champion, Lopez Hidalgo finished his career with a perfect 13-0 record at the conference tournament between 2009-13.
"I am extremely excited and grateful to be joining the Dartmouth men's and women's squash teams and the Dartmouth community," Lopez Hidalgo said. "It will be an honor to work alongside Vikram Malhotra and Pam Anckermann. I look forward to my first season with the Big Green".
Lopez Hidalgo earned an undergraduate degree in psychology and a master's degree in human development from the University of Rochester.
