The Ephs’ men faced eighth-ranked Dartmouth. With a victory, Williams could move into the Potter Division of Nationals.  Unfortunately, only George Miller and Will Gruner earned victories for the Ephs.  In all likelihood, Williams will compete in the Hoehn Division at Nationals. Williams also lost to Cornell and beat Hamilton.

In women’s action, the Ephs beat Dartmouth 7-2, lost to Cornell 1-8, and defeated Hamilton 9-0.

Michael Bello lost to Dartmouth alum Scott Kennedy and Dan Charness, Wesleyan’s number three player. He won a dramatic five game match against Esra Whipple.

In the B draw’s all Western Mass double consolation finals, Ben Quick dispatched Michael Bello in three games.
