PRINCETON - Princeton junior Yasser El Halaby swept a match-up of the last three national champions, but it was the No. 1 Trinity Bantams that earned an 8-1 win over the Princeton men's squash team Saturday at the Jadwin Squash Courts.
El Halaby, who won the 2003 and 2004 national titles, defended his home court with a 3-0 win over 2002 champion Bernardo Samper. El Halaby allowed only five points in the match, including zero in the final game.
