NEW HAVEN, Conn. — No. 3-ranked Yale (5-2, 3-2 Ivy League) registered a clean sweep after defeating the No. 9-ranked Cornell men's squash team (5-5, 1-4 Ivy League) in all nine matches held at the Brady Squash Center on Saturday afternoon.

Six of the nine victories for the Bulldogs came in three games as freshman Youssef Sarhan (No. 3) and seniors Tanay Punjabi (No. 4) and Shreemann Raghavan (No. 6) all fell in four games.

Fellow senior Aaron Liang almost forced a fourth game in the No. 1 match against Tad Carney, who had defeated Arnaav Sareen in the first round of the Pool Trophy bracket at last weekend's College Squash Association (CSA) Individual Championships in New York City. Carney and Liang engaged in a marathon third game that ended up favoring the Yale junior by a 17-15 score.
