No. 3 Trinity Hands No. 2 Princeton Season's First Defeat
February 03, 2024 | Men's Squash
Alastair Cho, Alhassan Khalil and Zain Ahmed had wins for the No. 2-ranked Princeton men's squash team on Saturday at No. 3 Trinity, but the Bantams took the match 6-3 as the Tigers were dealt their first loss of the season in Hartford, Conn.
Princeton will look to keep its Ivy League record perfect in a noon start on Sunday at Yale.
At fifth position, Cho battled back from an 0-2 deficit in games to win in five, fending off a match ball at 13-12 in the fourth game on the way to a 16-14 win there against Benedek Takacs and a 14-12 win in game five. At sixth, Khalil also got out of an 0-2 hole in games to win in five, not allowing opponent Marawan ElBorolossy more than six points in any of the final three games. At seventh, Ahmed fended off a comeback attempt by Khamal Cumberbatch to win in four after Ahmed won the first two games.
