Men's Squash Defeats Drexel To Finish Third at Hoehn Cup

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — The men's squash team defeated Drexel, 6-3, on Sunday in the third-place match of the Hoehn Cup at Wesleyan's Rosenbaum Squash Courts.
 
Cornell finishes its season with a 9-9 record. The Big Red entered the wekeend ranked 10th nationally and second in the bracket for the College Squash Association's 'B' Division national championship, but it finished third in the bracket and 11th in the nation after the weekend's results. It was the second time this season the Big Red defeated the 12th-ranked Dragons, with the first occasion coming during the season-opening Cornell Round Robin in November.
 
Freshman Andrew Stone got Cornell off to a quick start with a three-set victory at the No. 6 position. The Big Red then took a 2-1 lead into the second rotation on the strength of sophomore Harry Freeman's four-set victory at the No. 3 spot. Cornell won two of the next three matches to take a 4-2 lead into the final rotation. Sophomore Augie Jones had perhaps the easiest match of the day in a three-set win at No. 8, and junior tri-captain Graham Dietz pulled away from his opponent in four sets at No. 5. Senior Aditya Jagtap wrapped up a 3-0 weekend with another dominating three-set win at the No. 1 spot, and freshman Jordan Brail held on for a five-set victory at No. 4.
 
While team events for the squash season have ended, both the Big Red men's and women's teams will have participants in the CSA's Individual Championships next weekend at Jadwin Gym in Princeton, N.J.
