Red Squash to Face Streaking Opponents

This weekend, the men’s and women’s squash teams will aim to duplicate the dominant showing they had at the Cornell Invitational two weeks ago. The men (10-2, 3-2 Ivy) kick things off at 3 p.m. on Saturday against No. 1 ranked Trinity, which is looking to preserve its 194-match win streak –– the nation’s longest active winning streak in any intercollegiate varsity sport.
Cornell, currently ranked fourth in the country, will be seeking to pull off a major upset on its home courts. Next up for the Red is a Sunday morning matchup against Brown, which is coming off a 9-0 loss to Dartmouth and remains winless in the Ivy League. The women’s team (6-4, 1-4 Ivy) also faces a tough opening match, taking on Mt. Holyoke College this Saturday afternoon. The Lyons are coming off a weekend sweep of Smith and Vassar, in which they shutout their opponents, 18-0.
The Red will look for its second Ivy League win on Sunday at 10 a.m., when it takes on Brown. The Bears suffered a 9-0 drubbing at the hands of Stanford last weekend, and will travel to New Haven, Conn., this Saturday to take on rival Yale before descending upon Cornell’s Belkin Inter­national Squash Courts.
