Penn Defeats Men's Squash 6-3 in Top-Two Matchup
February 09, 2025 | Men's Squash
No. 1-ranked Penn held home court on Sunday in Philadelphia in a matchup of national top-two teams that would decide the Ivy League title as the Quakers defeated the No. 2-ranked Princeton men's squash team 6-3.
Princeton opened with a three-game win from Hollis Robertson at sixth position, but the next four matches off court went to the Quakers to put Princeton on the edge of defeat. Aly Ibrahim kept Princeton alive with a four-game win at seventh, rallying from a 12-10 loss in the first game, but Penn got the next two in clinching the win. Gordon Lam closed the day with a four-game win at ninth, also rallying from a first-game defeat.
One more dual match remains on the docket for the Tigers (9-1, 5-1 Ivy), who will host Virginia on Feb. 23 in Princeton before returning to Philadelphia for the CSA team tournament at the Specter Center next month.
