The men's and women's squash teams complete their regular seasons this weekend with a Friday trip to Princeton preceding a Sunday doubleheader at Belkin International Squash Courts.
 
On the women's side, seventh-ranked Cornell (10-3, 3-2 Ivy League) is coming off a weekend in which a 5-4 win over Dartmouth on Saturday tied the program record for Ivy League victories in a season — meaning a win over Princeton and/or Penn would give it a new mark. The only other time the Big Red went 3-3 in Ivy play was during the 2000-01 season, and the three Ivy wins this season are a new high under eighth-year head coach Julee Devoy.
 
A Big Red win over fifth-ranked Princeton at 5:30 p.m. Friday would be the first in program history, with the Tigers winning the first 16 meetings — including Cornell's first varsity match on Nov. 23, 1996. Like Cornell, Princeton (7-3, 2-3) had three matches last weekend with victories over No. 6 Stanford and No. 10 Brown bookending a 7-2 loss to No. 2 Yale. The Tigers' one-two punch of Julie Cerullo and Libby Eyre were ranked third and 13th, respectively, at the end of last season.
 
Fourth-ranked Penn (6-3, 3-2) then visits Belkin at 11 a.m. Sunday on the heels of a similar weekend to that of Princeton — wins over visiting Stanford and Brown along with a loss to Yale. The Quakers' losses to both No. 2 Yale and No. 3 Trinity had identical 5-4 scores. The Big Red is 2-16 all-time against the Quakers, with both wins coming during the 2001-02 season. Penn has three players that finished last season ranked in the top 20: Rachael Goh (10th), Nabilla Ariffin (12th) and Pie Trikha (19th).
 
On the men's side, Cornell (10-3, 3-2) — which continues to hold down the No. 6 ranking it's had all season — will have a chance to knock off the Ivy League-leading Tigers at 2:30 p.m. Friday. Princeton (10-1, 5-0 Ivy League) was tabbed No. 3 in the latest College Squash Association rankings on Jan. 29, but the Tigers have since beaten No. 1 Yale by a convincing 8-1 score last Saturday. A Princeton win over Cornell would clinch at least a share of the Ivy League title for the Tigers. The prospective matchup at the No. 1 spot is particularly intriguing, as it could be rematch of last year's individual national championship between Princeton's Todd Harrity and Cornell's Nick Sachvie (Harrity won last year).
 
The Big Red then returns home for a 11 a.m. Sunday matchup against No. 10 Penn (4-6, 1-4). The Quakers have dropped five of their last six matches, including tight 5-4 losses to No. 7 Dartmouth and No. 8 Franklin & Marshall. Cornell has won its last four matches against Penn. Victories over both Princeton and Penn this weekend would set a record for Ivy League wins in a season.
 
Both the men's and women's teams will then close out the regular season at 2 p.m. Saturday against visiting No. 27 Hobart (men) and No. 25 William Smith (women). The Big Red is a combined 50-5 against the Geneva-based squads.
