PHILADELPHIA - The Drexel men's and women's squash teams opened their home schedules at the Kline & Specter Squash Center on Friday evening against Franklin & Marshall, with both teams dropping their home opener. The men's team fell 8-1, while the women were defeated in a close 5-4 decision.
Justin Singh won the Dragons' lone match on the men's side. Playing at No. 2, Singh dropped the first set to Wesley Osborne, 11-7, before rebounding to win the next three, 11-5, 11-7, 11-5.
Ibrahim Bakir took his match at No. 1 to five sets, while Michael Thompson fell in four at No. 3. The rest of the Drexel ladder was defeated in straight sets.
On the women's side, Drexel fell 5-4 to the Diplomats. The top of Drexel's ladder performed well, with four of the top six players in Drexel's lineup winning their matches. They could not pull out the rubber match, however, coming up just short.
Playing her second career match, Mary Fung-A-Fat moved to 2-0 on her career with a five set grinder, defeating Emily Caldwell at No. 2 in a comeback, 8-11, 9-11, 15-13, 11-6, 11-5. Elisa Money also moved to 2-0 at No. 3, 11-5, 11-3, 11-2.
Elisa's sister, Kaitlyn Money, claimed her first match of the season with a straight-sets victory at No. 5, 11-7, 13-11, 11-2. Finally, Kiran Vasudevan defeated Cris Frias in four sets at No. 6, 11-6, 11-9, 9-11, 13-11.
The Dragons will both return to action on Saturday when they host Cornell. The women's team will play the Big Red at noon, while the men take the courts at 2:00 p.m.
