February 20, 2022 | Men's Squash
No. 5 Princeton took No. 3 Trinity to the final match on Sunday in a 5-4 decision for the Bantams in the Potter Cup fifth-place match at Penn.
Princeton was without four players from its full complement for the weekend.
The Tigers' wins came from Youssef Ibrahim on court one, Alastair Cho on court five, Ahmed Hussein on court six, and Will Ezratty on court nine. Ibrahim's win allowed the Ivy League Player of the Year to conclude his dual-match career with the Tigers on a 13-match winning streak, winning in four against Miko Äijänen and closing that match with wins in the last two games.
Cho and Ezratty were each winners in five, winning the last two games after being down 2-1, while Hussein won in three.
Of Trinity's wins, two came in five games, with Zain Ahmed and Gordon Lam each extending their opponents the distance.
The final event of the season will return the Tigers to Philadelphia, with the CSA individual tournament beginning March 4.
