Corey Schafer (born July 26, 1991 in Boston, Massachusetts) is a professional squash player who represents Dartmouth College. She reached a career-high world ranking of World No. 216 in January 2012. Schafer, the daughter of a solicitor father, Rich Schafer and mother, Terri, was born and raised in Natick and started playing at age nine at the Maugus Club. Her first tournament loss was to current teammate Sarah Loucks, because Schafer couldn't hit a serve in and Loucks was about six inches taller. She made it to the semi-finals of the tenth Annual J.K. Power Mixed Doubles Invitational Pong Tournament in the fall of 2009, being carried by senior teammate Michael Shrubb. Life turned around for Schafer when she defeated Loucks soundly in every challenge match ever, but Loucks still can look over her head.
