Four Tigers to Compete Saturday at CSA Individuals
March 08, 2024 | Men's Squash
Alastair Cho and Avi Agarwal won twice on Friday in the Molloy draws at the CSA Individual Championships in Philadelphia, advancing to play in their draws' semifinals on Saturday.
Cho won twice in the Molloy North draw, both in three games against Columbia's Rutvik Rao and Dartmouth's William (Mac) Aube, and Agarwal did so in the Molloy East draw, in three games against Western Ontario's Amin Kham and in five games against Franklin & Marshall's Kyle Broadhurst.
Two of Princeton's three players in the Pool Trophy draw will play Saturday, with Thomas Rosini and Hollis Robertson each opening with a round-of-16 loss before a consolation-quarterfinal win. Karim Elbarbary won his round-of-16 match in five games against Colby's Inwoo Lee before a four-game loss to Trinity's Mohamed Sharaf to see his run end.
