Men's Squash Team Starts 2-0, Sweeps Drexel
November 23, 2024 | Men's Squash
A national semifinalist a year ago, the Princeton men's squash team swept Drexel, which finished No. 7 in last season's year-end rankings, 9-0 on Saturday at the Tigers' new facility in Princeton's Meadows neighborhood.
Ahmed Hussein, Zain Ahmed, Aly Ibrahim, Federico Sosa and Gordon Lam were all three-game winners while Avi Agarwal and Thomas Rosini each won their first game before their opponents retired from the match. Alhassan Khalil won in four games and Yuvraj Wadhwani won in five, battling back from dropping the first game to lead 2-1 into the fourth.
Now 2-0 on the new season, Princeton will head to Williams for a Dec. 7 match. The Ephs, coached by former Tiger women's assistant Hesham Aly, were ranked No. 14 in the 2023-24 season-ending rankings.
