PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The No. 8 Virginia men’s squash team (6-5) found its way back into the win column with a decisive win over Colby (2-6) to close out a pair of weekend matches in Philadelphia on Sunday, Jan. 23.

NOTES

  • Aly Hussein and Myles McIntyre extended their win-streaks to seven
  • CJ Baldini has won his list six matches
  • Virginia swept every match of the day for the first time this season
  • The Cavaliers improve to 2-0 all time against Colby. Both matches ended in 9-0 victories for the Hoos

FROM HEAD COACH MARK ALLEN:

“After a couple of cancelled matches, we all appreciated the chance to get back out on the court and compete again. Unfortunately, we had lost some of the momentum from the four-game win streak we put together at the close of last semester. The Drexel matches served as a reminder of just how close and competitive this league is. To win against the top teams, we have to come out ready to compete at all 9 positions.”

“One of the hallmarks of our program is our resilience and our ability to derive motivation from any loss. A pair of decisive wins over Colby today has us pointing back in the right direction. And I know that both squads have the depth of character that it will take to get back to top form ahead of next month’s MASC Championships.”

ON THE HORIZON

  • Virginia will return home for a pair of matches with Denison (Jan. 29) and Dickinson (Jan. 30) at the McArthur Squash Center.
