Columbia to face George Washington in squash Sunday

WASHINGTON- The Lions head down to the nation's capital on Sunday to faceoff against the George Washington Colonials.  There was movement in the Dunlop college squash rankings as the new edition was released earlier in the week.  The Columbia men's squad now sits at the No. 5 spot, and the women are ranked No. 7 in the nation.  The Colonials are also highly ranked, with the men at No. 12 and the women at No. 13.

LAST TIME OUT
Last weekend the men's squad fell to No. 2 Rochester at home.  The final match score was 6-3, with wins coming in positions No. 2, 4 and 5.  The men fought hard against the Yellow Jackets, sending four of the nine matches to the fifth game.

The women are back in action after a week off from competition following their 0-9 loss against No. 2 Harvard.

FAMILIAR FOES
Columbia took home a pair of wins last season against George Washington.  The women took home a 8-1 record for the day, while the men notched 7-2.  Four of the seven victors on the men's courts last year will be returning, including current position No. 1 Velavan Senthikumar, and No. 4 Carter Robitaille. For the women, seven of the eight winners are returning to face George Washington.

NEXT UP
The Lions return home the first weekend in February for a trio of matches against Drexel, Yale and Brown.  The matches will take place at SL Green Streetsquash in Harlem.
