NEW YORK – Senior
Robin Mann, on senior day, got himself a five-set win in his final career home match, as No. 11 Columbia Men's Squash took down No. 4 Princeton, 7-2, to end the 2019-20 season with an Ivy League victory on Sunday, Feb. 9 at the SL Green Streetsquash Center.
Â
A key factor to Columbia's solid win over Princeton was three wins via straight sets which set a dominating tone across the courts as Columbia also snagged three four-set wins to help lead to victory.
Â
HOW IT HAPPENED: Mann's win came at No. 3, where he had to hold off a fourth set win by Adhitya Raghavan to come away with the 9-11, 11-7, 11-6, 9-11, 11-5 victory in his final chance to take the SL Green Streetsquash Center courts. At No. 2,
Callan Hall dispatched Cole Becker in straight sets, 11-9, 11-6, 12-10, while at No. 7
Rahul Sehrawat won his match against Hao-Chen Cheng in straight sets, 11-6, 11-9, 11-9 and at No. 8,
Aditya Kankariya scored an 11-9, 13-11, 11-9 victory over Alastair Cho to give Columbia three wins via straight sets.
Â
Columbia's four-set wins came at No. 4, with
Chaitanya Shah taking down Duncan Joyce, 11-7, 11-9, 9-11, 11-5 and
Justin Ghaeli taking a 13-11, 6-11, 11-8, 11-2 win over William Exratty at No. 6.Â
Hugh Camiener would pick up another four-set win for Columbia, taking down Henry Parkhurst, 2-11, 11-4, 15-13, 11-9, battling back from a first-set loss as the three straight set and four-set wins, along with Mann's five-set win locked up the 7-2 win for Columbia.
