ITHACA, N.Y. — Cornell men's squash players Rohan Iyer, Aaron Liang, Jeh Pandole, William Sarbinowski, and Arnaav Sareen all received Scholar-Athlete Awards from the College Squash Association (CSA), it was announced Friday evening.

To be eligible for CSA's Scholar-Athlete Awards, players must be either a junior or senior and have demonstrated excellence both on and off the court. Scholar-Athlete awards is granted to student-athletes who have competed in the majority of their team's matches in a top-10 ladder position while achieving high-academic standing at their institution.

This recognition reflects the CSA's deep commitment to the core values of college squash: competitive excellence, academic integrity, and personal growth. Scholar Athletes represent what is possible when passion for sport is matched by dedication in the classroom. These student-athletes model the discipline, focus, and determination that define the best of college athletics.

The CSA places a high value on the Scholar Athlete Award as it embodies the dual commitment that makes college squash so special. Balancing intense training, team travel, and match play with the demands of rigorous coursework is no small task. Honoring those who manage both with distinction is one of the most meaningful moments of our season.

Iyer finished his collegiate squash career with an 8-9 dual match record, with six of his eight victories coming from the No. 6 position where he went a perfect 6-0. His other two victories came at the No. 5 position against Trinity's Daniel Simon (Feb. 2) and against Virginia's Maxwell Velazquez (Feb. 15).

Liang posted a 10-7 record in dual matches and went 13-8 overall on the year after going 3-1 at the CSA Individual Championships in late January. Concluding the season on a high note, Liang won his final six matches and won nine of his final 11 contests. His .588 win percentage in dual matches was tied with Shreemann Raghavan for the second-highest figure on the Big Red, trailing freshman Youssef Sarhan's .647 clip (11-6).

Pandole appeared in nine dual matches for the Big Red this season, posting a 3-6 record. The first two victories of the year for Pandole came in Ivy League play against Dartmouth's Warren Klein (Jan. 11) and Harvard's Marcus Lee (Jan. 12). His other win came in the CSA National Championships against Tufts' Emerson Wang in straight games (March 7).

Sarbinowski did not appear in any matches within the top nine positions of the Big Red's ladder, but did have a 5-4 record in matches at the No. 10 position.

Rounding out Cornell's honorees, Sareen had a 7-8 record in dual matches and had an overall record of 8-10 after appearing in the CSA Individual Championships. Competing mostly from the No. 2 position all season, Sareen had a 6-8 record at the No. 2 position and won his lone match at the No. 3 position in straight games against Dartmouth's Ekam Singh (Jan. 11).
