CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The No. 10 Dartmouth men's squash team picked up its second win of the season on Saturday, topping No. 17 MIT by a 6-3 final. The Big Green's came at the top two positions, Nos. 5, 6, 7 and 9. Saturday's neutral site match was played at the University of Virginia.

Juniors Christian Shah and Mac Aube set the tone, winning at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, each winning 3-1.

All three of Dartmouth's losses were via 3-2 finals. Big Green sophomore Warren Klein also picked up a 3-2 win in an exhibition.
