WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – The fifth-ranked Dartmouth men's squash team returned to its winning ways as the Big Green defeated No. 18 Williams, 6-3 on the road on Tuesday night.

The Big Green got off to a solid start when freshman Matthew Giegerich and junior Glen Brickman both won their matches in three straight games. Junior Andrew Field dropped his match 3-1, but Dartmouth held on to a 2-1 overall advantage in the contest heading into the second round of matches.

Freshman Carson Spahr and sophomore Brian Giegerich opened up the next round with 3-0 victories, while senior Kyle Martino dropped the first two games of his match before retiring due to an injury.

In the final round, junior Nick Harrington scored a 3-0 victory. Senior James Fisch took his opponent to five games after dropping the first game, but he came back to win the next two. With the score tied 2-2, Fisch won the final frame in extra points to record the win. Sophomore Alvin Heumann competed well, but lost in four games.
