January 29, 2025 | Men's Squash
At 3-0 in the Ivy League and 7-0 overall, the No. 2-ranked Princeton men's squash team will head to No. 11 Dartmouth and No. 6 Harvard as the Tigers look to keep both unbeaten runs going.

All three teams are coming off the CSA individual championships. Princeton had three players in the Pool Trophy draw, with Zain Ahmed, Avi Agarwal and Ahmed Hussein falling in the first round. Dartmouth saw Christian Shaw make the round of 16, while Harvard had Joshi Neel make the quarterfinals and David Costales and Denis Gilevsky make the round of 16.
Dartmouth enters the weekend at 3-6 overall and 0-4 in the Ivy and will look to break a two-match skid since the team's last win, which came against Tufts on Jan. 15. Princeton has won four straight against the Big Green since Dartmouth's last win over the Tigers at the CSA team championships in 2019. Princeton has won back-to-back trips to Hanover since Dartmouth's last home win over Princeton in 2018.
Harvard, which will host Penn on Saturday, stands at 5-3 overall and 3-1 in the Ivy and has taken two of its three losses on the season in its last two matches, having been swept by Trinity and Yale. Princeton defeated Harvard at home last season to end an 11-match Crimson win streak in the series. In Cambridge, Princeton's last win over the Crimson was in 2012, and Harvard will try to keep a six-match home win streak over the Tigers going.
Following the weekend, Princeton will head to No. 1 Penn on Feb. 9. The Tigers and the Quakers enter the weekend as the last two teams holding undefeated Ivy records on the season.
