PHILADELPHIA – The No. 9 Drexel men's squash team (4-1) fell to No. 7 Penn (3-0) on Tuesday evening by a final score of 5-4 from the Ringe Squash Courts on Penn's Campus.

Freshman Omar El Atmas has yet to be beaten as he won from the No. 1 position on Tuesday.

Freshman Bransten Ming and sophomore Atticus Kelly both remained perfect on the campaign for Drexel thus far as well.

Ming defeated Penn's Karim Hussein, 9-11, 11-6, 12-10, 13-11, from the No. 2 position for the Dragons while Kelly played from the No. 3 spot and swept Derek Hsue, 14-12, 11-8, 11-8.

Thompson, now 5-0 in 2015, defeated James Watson of Penn in a match that went the distance.

Drexel will now prep for the No. 8 Princeton Tigers on Tuesday, Dec. 1 at 6:30 p.m. when the Dragons play host from the Kline & Specter Squash Center in the DAC.
