Toor beat Milou van der Heijden of the Netherlands 13-11, 11-3, 11-9 to win the first ever women’s event in the Nash Cup in Canada.
This is Maria Toor's third title of her WSA career after she won the South-west Squash Open and the Liberty Bell Open last year in the US.
While in her nurturing years of squash, representing Warsak High School in Peshawar, Maria became the youngest ever winner of the National Women’s Squash Championship in Pakistan toppling top seed Muqaddas Ashraf of Punjab in straight sets in the final at Karachi Club squash court in 2004. She was 13 at the time.
It was this self belief and great form that finally brought her to the world stage, joining the WISPA in 2006. She was immediately at ease on the international circuit as well, reaching the semi-final stage of the 2nd WISPA International Women’s Squash Championship at the POF Jahangir Khan Complex in Islamabad.
