On Sunday, the No. 7 Yale Men's Squash Team fell 9-0 to No. 1 Harvard University, despite strong performances down the ladder.
Janson Chu '22,
Spencer Lovejoy '20, and
Siow Yee Xian '23 all notched games off their opponents. Xian, in particular, looked to upset his veteran opponent but was forced to retire due to injury.
The match-up also marked Senior Day, a celebration of the outgoing seniors on the team. The team honored
Calvin McCafferty '20,
Spencer Lovejoy '20, and
Parth Bhatia '20 with signed portraits.
The Yale Men now have three weeks to recover and refine their training before they head to Harvard for CSA National Championships on Friday, February 28.
