Princeton, NJ — On Sunday, the 2009 Men’s National Team Championships concluded.  In a six-hour match, Trinity’s 201 match win streak almost ended.  With the match tied 4-4, GoPrincetontigers.com reports that Trinity’s Baset Chaudhry and Princeton’s Mauricio Sanchez squared off:

…Sanchez had won the first game over Chaudhry before dropping the second and third. He controlled play in the fourth, winning 9-2 and setting up the finale. With hundreds upon hundreds trying to position themselves for the smallest viewing area, Sanchez raced out to a 5-0 edge before Chaudhry took over and won the final nine points of the 2008-09 men’s squash season.

On their home courts, the Princeton Tigers narrowly lost 4-5 to the now eleven time national champions. The New York Times covered the match.

University of Rochester completed its ascension to the upper echelon of the college squash rankings by defeating Harvard by a score of 7-2.

In the Hoehn Cup, Williams lost 4-5 to Western Ontario. The Ephs finished the tournament in 10th place.  Amherst took 16th place after losing to Saint Lawrence.
