Men's Squash Falls to Yale in Season Opener

NEW HAVEN, CT -- Men’s Squash fell 9-0 in their season opener against a talented Yale squad in New Haven on Friday. The Ephs gave the Bulldogs a run for their money, but the Ivy scrimmages winning team was too tough.

In their Williams debut, freshmen Drobetsky, Marks, Greaves-Tunnell, Eagan, and Ervasti proved to be the solid foundation at the bottom of the line-up that Williams needs to be competitive this season. Ervasti even pushed his opponent to five, proving the real depth of this Williams squad. Junior veteran Jeremey Herrmann also lost a heartbreaker to Yale’s Sam Clayman at the number nine spot, dropping the 5th 15-13. Herrmann displayed the kind of patient discipline and heart that exemplifies Williams squash.

The Ephs are looking forward to challenging Harvard at home on Sunday.
