HARTFORD, CONN. - Filip Krueger earned an impressive victory in the No. 5 spot, however, it was not enough as the No. 9 Drexel men's squash team fell to No. 1 Trinity, 8-1 on Friday evening.
Krueger showed top form today as he fought hard to win two close games before the tide swung away from Krueger in the next game. Krueger regrouped strongly in the fourth game to seal victory, 12-10,11-9,1-11,11-5.
Meanwhile, Dylan Kachur played very well against a very experienced opponent, Thoboki Mohohlo, going one game up before losing the next two. Kachur clawed the fourth game back in extra points and gained a 7-6 lead in the fifth before his opponent took the fifth game.
