Harrison Gabel rallied from a game down to deliver to the tiebreaking point and lead Princeton to a 5-4 win over Yale in a key Ivy League men's squash match. The victory sets up a showdown next Sunday in Princeton against Harvard for the Ivy League title, which Princeton wrestled away from the Crimson after a 10-year run.
With the score tied 4-4, Gabel, Princeton's No. 9 player, came from behind to defeat Ziad Haider in four games to give the Tigers the victory. Princeton had trailed 3-1 after the first round of matches before taking the match. David Yik, Peter Kelly, Dan Rutherford and Eric Pearson all won for the Tigers.
