NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The No. 10 Dartmouth men's squash team followed up its Friday match against fourth-ranked Trinity by heading to Yale on Sunday to face the third-ranked Bulldogs. The Big Green lost, 9-0, but the day saw a number of competitive games that went down to the wire.

With the loss, Dartmouth falls to 4-4. Yale improves to 5-1.

Junior Christian Shah was ever-so close to a victory at the No. 2 position. He won the first two games, 11-6 and 12-10, but Yale's Arav Bhagwati responded to win the next three.

At No. 1, junior Mac Aube won his first game at No. 1, but wound up falling, 3-1. Sophomore Rana Thakhar won the second game at the No. 7 position, but fell in the third and fourth.

Senior David Rubin wouldn't go down quietly at the No. 4 position. After dropping the first two games 11-3 and 11-1, he dropped a 17-15 marathon in the fourth game.

The Big Green will return home on Wednesday to host Williams at 5 p.m. at the Berry Squash Courts.
