January 21, 2023 | Men's Squash
Cambridge, Mass. – The Princeton Men's Squash team dropped an Ivy League match up, falling to No. 1 Harvard on Saturday afternoon, 7-2.
The match began to an even start, with both Harvard and the Tigers standing at 2-2 after four contests were complete at positions 8, 3, 9, and 6.
At the No.3 position, Thomas Rosini fell to his Harvard opponent, Ido Burstein, in games one and two, but then managed to tie things up, with back-to back Princeton victories in games three and four.
Despite overcoming a two, game deficit, Rosini ultimately fell in game five, 11-3, allowing Harvard to gain the point.
Avi Agarwal swept Conner Stoltz 3-0 (11-5, 11-9, 11-8) at the No. 9 position and Alastair Cho defeated David Costales, 3-1 (14-12, 7-11, 11-9, 12-10) at the No. 6 position.
Despite the early victories for Princeton, Harvard managed to stay on a hot streak, defeating their Tiger opponents at positions No. 1, No. 8, No. 5 and No. 2.
The match concluded with an early ending to Ahmed Hussein's contest, that was suspended due to Princeton injury.
The top ranked Crimson continue to remain undefeated, handing the Tigers' their first loss of the 2022-23 season.
