BRUNSWICK, ME – Sophomore Aditya Advani (New Dehli, India) has won his opening round match and is still alive in the Division III Individual Squash Championships held at Bowdoin College this weekend. Advani is competing with 32 other players in the A draw of the tournament.
Advani beat Caran Arora of Bates in the opening round of play. He was scheduled to play Stephan Danyluk of Bowdoin on Saturday at 12:15 pm. Should he win that match he will play the winner of the duel between Scott Desantis of Amherst and Williams' Christopher Wilkinson at 5:30 pm on Saturday in quarterfinal play.
Junior Zachary Schweitzer (Huntingdon Valley, PA) also played in the A draw of the tournament but was defeated by Taylor Foehl of Williams in the opening round of 32. Playing in the B draw of the tournament, rookie Josh Lee (Seoul, Korea) fell in the first round of play to Yuga Koda of Colby.
This is the second year the tournament has been scheduled but the first year it has actually been held. Last year's tournament was cancelled due to a blizzard.
