Finishing on a disappointing noteBy Dan Brodhead Despite the men's squash team's season-long success, the squad could not pull out victories in either of its last two matches. On Sat., Feb. 7, the Bulldogs lost a much-anticipated match to Princeton. Coach Dave Talbott called Yale's 8-1 loss to the favored Tigers "a definite disappointment." Kris Weiner, PC '00, was the only victorious Bulldog.After the Princeton loss, Yale's challenging schedule did not relent as the squad faced a heavily-favored Harvard team on Sat., Feb. 14. Despite an impressive showing featuring victories by captain Devraj Roy, TC '98, Deji Olukotun, CC '00, and Josh Barenbaum, CC '01, Yale lost 6-3. Now one trial remains. At this weekend's ISA Team Tournament, Amherst will come prepared to avenge its earlier loss to Yale. "It will be a challenge," Talbott said. "But we're ready." Like the men's team, the women's squash team ended an otherwise successful season on a down note. At last weekend's Howe Cup, the nation's premier year-end tournament, Yale lost 5-4 to both Dartmouth and Trinity. On Wed., Feb. 18, the women dropped a disappointing 7-2 decision to Harvard. Three of the losses were five-game battles.
