ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell men's squash is off to its best start in program history after defeating #7 Drexel in yesterday's return to the court. The win over the Dragons marked the first for the Big Red in five seasons, and improved the teams dual record to 6-0. The team gets to chance to remain undefeated on Tuesday, Jan. 16 when it travels to the University of Rochester to face off against the Yellowjackets. Matches begin at 3 p.m.

Returning to action this week was senior Veer Chotrani. After taking the fall semester off, the Mumbai, India native earned a sweep in the No. 1 match in his first action back, helping to power Cornell to the 5-4 victory over Drexel. Spencer Yager, Rohan Iyer, Tanay Punjabi and Arnav Tevatia all remained undefeated on the season with their wins as well.

Cornell holds a heavy advantage in the all-time series against the Yellowjackets, leading 61-19 in meetings. Though Big Red is riding a three-match win streak, the last ten meetings are split 5-5. A win would mark the most consecutive for the Big Red since a stretch of six-straight from 1997-2009.

Following the contest, Cornell will remain on the road to take on #1 University of Pennsylvania in a Friday, Jan. 19 matinee. Matches will begin at 1:30 p.m. at the Penn Squash Center.
