No. 11 Men’s Squash Goes Down at No. 1 Princeton in Season Finale

NEW YORK - The No. 11 Columbia men's squash team brought the 2012-13 regular season to a conclusion Sunday afternoon on the road at No. 1 Princeton. Hosting the Lions at the Jadwin Squash Courts, the Tigers secured the 9-0 victory.

The Tigers won 27 of 30 games played Sunday afternoon, good for six sweeps. In the No. 2 match, Columbia's Mohamed AbdelMaksoud went up early with an 11-9 win in the first game, but Samuel Kang took the next three for the 3-1 victory.

Graham Miao tied the No. 4 match by capturing the second game, but dropped the next two by similar 11-5 scores to lose the match to Dylan Ward. Theo Buchsbaum took the third set of the No. 9 match against Michael LeBlanc, but would also go down 3-1 following an 11-6 loss in the fourth game.

Columbia will have a just under two weeks to prepare for the CSA Team National Championships in New Haven, Conn. from Feb. 22-24.
