NEW HAVEN, CT – The University of Rochester squash team closed out its regular season slate on Sunday afternoon with an 8-1 loss at the hands of 4th-ranked Yale University.
 
Rochester, ranked #10 in the latest CSA rankings, dropped to 6-7 on the season, while Yale improves to 9-3.
 
Much like Saturday's loss against Columbia, Rochester's lone point was secured by junior co-captain Abdelrahman Lasheen at the #3 position. Lasheen needed four games to defeat Max Forster 11-9, 7-11, 11-8 and 11-6.
 
Seven of the Yale victories were by 3-0 scores, with Luis Moncada the only other Yellowjacket to take a game against the highly ranked Bulldogs. Moncada dropped a four-game decision at #4 to Siow Yee Xian, with set scores of 11-5, 6-11, 11-5 and 13-11.
 
The Yellowjackets will now shift their attention to the upcoming CSA Team National Championships taking place next Friday through Sunday in Philadelphia.
 
The top eight teams in the nation will vie for the national championship in the Potter Cup Tournament, with the rest of collegiate squash programs being broken up into eight-team groups competing in for their own cup tournaments.
