The Princeton men's squash team nearly pulled off a significant upset Wednesday night, though it would ultimately fall one match short in a 5-4 loss to #4 Penn. The Tigers will face two more highly ranked teams, starting with a Saturday showdown against the top-ranked Harvard Crimson to kick off one of the most important league weekends of the season.
Princeton will host Harvard Saturday at noon in the opening match of a doubleheader; the Crimson have won five straight regular-season matches over the Tigers, and they are the only undefeated team in the nation following a recent 7-2 win over Rochester. The top five courts for both Saturday's match vs. Harvard and the Sunday match against Dartmouth (11 am) will be streamed live on ESPN+; you can find links to all courts above.
Following the Harvard match, Princeton will try to finally cross the finish line against the fifth-ranked Dartmouth Big Green. This has been one of the most dramatic series in the Ivy League over the last couple of years, especially last season when the Big Green pulled out 5-4 wins over Princeton in both the regular season and the CSA team championships. Dartmouth opens its weekend Saturday against fourth-ranked Penn, meaning four of the top eight programs in the country will be part of this weekend set in Princeton/Philadelphia.
While Princeton did fall Wednesday, it can carry several positives into the weekend, especially an impressive 3-2 win for #1 player Adhitya Raghavan over Penn All-American Andrew Douglas. The Tigers clawed out five-game wins by Cody Cortes, Gabriel Morgan and Howe Cheng as well to nearly pull off a second straight victory over the Quakers.
