ITHACA, N.Y. — The No. 8-ranked Cornell men's squash team will close out the 2022-23 regular-season slate this weekend in Philadelphia when it takes on No. 7 Drexel and No. 6 Virginia.

Cornell (7-5) will face Drexel (7-5) at 5 p.m. on Friday before playing Virginia (12-2) on Sunday at 2 p.m.

The Big Red is coming off an 8-1 victory over No. 9 Columbia at the Belkin Squash Courts last Saturday.

Junior Spencer Yager, senior Humza Khan, and fellow junior Morgan Huberman posted three-game victories for the Big Red in its win over its Ivy League foe.

Sophomore Arnaav Sareen posted his second consecutive come-from-behind victory when he defeated Columbia's Adam Goad in five games, 4-11, 9-11, 11-6, 11-8, 11-8.

Scouting Drexel

Drexel enters the weekend having won two of its three matches at the Mid-Atlantic Squash Conference Championships in Charlottesville, Va.

The Dragons posted a pair of 9-0 victories over Dickinson and Franklin & Marshall before falling, 8-1, to Virginia.

This will be Drexel's fourth matches against an Ivy League opponent this season. The Dragons fell to Penn on Nov. 13, 7-2, in the Pennsylvania State Squash Championship. Drexel swept Columbia on Dec. 2 before falling to Yale, 7-2, on Dec. 4.

Scouting Virginia

Virginia enters the weekend on a 10-game win streak. The lone blemishes to the Cavaliers' 12-2 record is a pair of losses to Ivy League opponents, Yale and Harvard.

During the win streak, Virginia has dropped just four of a possible 90 points.

The Cavaliers are coming off claiming its fourth Mid-Atlantic Squash Championship after defeating Drexel.

Looking Ahead

Following this weekend's matches, Cornell will participate in the College Squash Association Championships, which will be held in Hartford, Conn., from Feb. 24-26.
