ITHACA, NY (December 3, 2023) -- The No. 12 Tufts University men's squash team finished a busy weekend Sunday afternoon at No. 9 Cornell University, dropping a 9-0 decision to the Big Red in action from Belkin Squash Courts.
The Jumbos battled hard against the Ivy League foe, but Cornell (5-0) was too much as they were able to take all nine flights despite four matches going four or more games. The best battle of the afternoon came at No. 6, as
Nachiket Desai won the first and third games but was unable to clinch the win as Shreemann Raghavan came back to earn a 8-11, 11-6, 6-11, 11-6 and 11-5 win.
At the No. 3 position,
Sanjeev Jeyabalan won the third game 13-11 but couldn't rally for the win in an 11-5, 11-8, 11-13 and 11-7 finish. At the exhibition 10th spot,
Rohan Bhatia led 2-1 after back-to-back 11-7 wins but Edward Morneau erased the deficit to top Bhatia 11-5, 7-11, 7-11, 11-3 and 11-7.
Rohan Valia was in the match at No. 7, but Morgan Huberman posted a 5-11, 11-7, 11-6 and 11-0 win for the Big Red. First-year
Emerson Wang also had a strong match at No. 9, but Arnav Tevatia pulled away late in all three games for an 11-8, 11-8 and 12-10 win.
Tufts will return home for its second match of the season on campus, taking on Connecticut College at 5 p.m. in play from the Tufts Squash Center Friday, December 8.
