Men's Squash Loses to #1 Trinity and #2 Princeton before downing Bowdoin

Trinity claims one more notch in their decade-long winning streak. The Ephs managed to win two games, one coming from a heroic performance from sophomore Jeremy Herrmann at number eight. Herrmann came out of the gates hard, and didn't let down until he secured the Ephs' first game. Herrman declined a full interview, but attributed his exceptional mental toughness and steely nerves to the fierce challenge match rivalry he's recently developed with teammate Cameron Henry.

The other Eph victory came from freshman Aaron Seong at number 11 in the first game. Everyone else elevated their game, but Trinity proved too strong.

Williams came out very strong against Bowdoin later on Saturday. "I was pleased how we took care of business against Bowdoin," said sophmore Eli Bronfman. Captain Bucky Marshall led by example, allowing his opponent no points. Sophmore Christian Henze sat out due to illness, which meant that Cameron Henry who played last againt Trinity had to play first against Bowdoin.

Seniors George Miller and Cam Henry show the kind of toughness they've gotten from four years of Wiliams squash, both winning games against their Princeton Opponents. Even after getting beat 9-2 9-1 in the first two games, Miller was able to dig down and put just enough pressure on Letourneau to force some errors and secure the third game for Williams. Henry came out flying, taking the first game and also losing the fourth 10-9. "I'm confident if that 4th game had gone my way I could have done something special..." said Henry. Number one Ethan Buchsbaum elevated his game to compete with high school teamate Mauricio Sanchez.
