The Princeton men's squash team moved one match away from clinching its second straight Ivy League championship and third in the last four years with a 9-0 sweep of Dartmouth Saturday. Princeton rested two seniors, Eric Pearson and Dan Rutherford, and Dent Wilkens gained from the experience by earning a tough 3-2 win at No. 5.
The potent threesome at the top of Princeton's lineup, No. 1 Yasser El-Halaby, No. 2 Will Evans and No. 3 David Yik, each earned 3-0 wins. They combined to lose a total of 17 points in nine games.
