No. 11 Men’s Squash Drops 7-2 Decision at No. 4 Princeton
11/24/2019 3:11:00 PM | Men's Squash
PRINCETON, N.J. – Matias Knudsen and Gautam Nagpal continued the perfect starts to their season on Saturday, but No. 11 Drexel Men's Squash could not overcome fourth-ranked Princeton in a 7-2 setback. The loss evens the Dragons record at 2-2. The Tigers improved to 3-0.
Knudsen topped Cole Becker in three games at the No. 2 position for his fourth victory of the year. A second team all-American from a season ago, Knudsen posted wins of 11-9, 11-6 and 11-6.
Gautam Nagpal moved to 4-0 with a five-game victory over Hao-Chen Cheng in the eighth position. Nagpal fell behind 2-1 (13-11, 5-11, 8-11) before successive 11-3 and 11-8 wins.
Lucas Rousselet could not parlay his victory in the first game into something more. He topped Ibrahim Youssef in the opener, 11-9, but Youssef took the next three games in the No. 1 match.
The Dragons return to competition with three-straight matches at the Kline & Specter Squash Center Dec. 6-8. Drexel hosts No. 15 St. Lawrence, No. 5 Yale and No. 6 Rochester.
