The Princeton men's squash team knew that the Ivy League would be loaded this season, and it would take something special to come away with its 17th league crown. Time after time, Princeton found special efforts, and it clinched at least a share of that title Friday with a 6-3 win over Cornell.

The return of senior co-captain Kelly Shannon and an exciting showdown at the No. 1 position were two highlights in Princeton's 8-1 victory at Dartmouth Saturday afternoon.

Five Princeton players, including reigning men's champion Todd Harrity and women's No. 1 Julie Cerullo, made it through the first two rounds of the 2012 CSA individual national championships.

The Princeton men's squash team moved within one match of clinching at least a share of the Ivy League championship with a 9-0 victory over Brown Sunday afternoon at the Jadwin Squash Courts.

The third-ranked Princeton men's squash team is coming off its best road win of the season, a 6-3 victory at Rochester. It will be looking to carry that momentum into an even bigger duo of games, as the Tigers look to stay undefeated in the Ivy League with matches at both Dartmouth and Harvard.

Princeton sent its top two players to the CSA national individual semifinals, but both were ousted by talented freshmen Saturday evening. Men's No. 1 Todd Harrity, the reigning national champion, and women's No. 1 Julie Cerullo both fell one match short of reaching Sunday's national final.

It doesn't happen often when a squash team can have Trinity on its schedule and that not even be the biggest match of the week. But with the inside track for the Ivy League title and a potential No. 2 seed in the national team championships both on the line, the Princeton men's squash team knows that there is plenty on the line Saturday at noon.

Senior David Pena spent two months working tirelessly just to get the opportunity to play in the biggest weekend of his collegiate career. That work paid off for both himself and his Ivy League champion teammates, who earned a berth in Sunday's national championship match with a gutsy 7-2 victory over Cornell.

As a freshman, Kelly Shannon was the last Princeton player to post a victory in the historic 2009 national team final against Trinity.

Coming off its 8-1 victory over the top-ranked Yale Bulldogs Saturday, the Princeton men's squash has put itself in position for back-to-back championship weekends. The first title at stake is the Ivy League championship, which Princeton can clinch Friday afternoon when it hosts sixth-ranked Cornell at the Jadwin Squash Courts.

After two years of heartbreakingly close losses to eventual Ivy League champion Yale, the third-ranked Princeton men's squash team wasn't in any mood for drama Saturday afternoon. The Tigers scored an 8-1 victory over top-ranked Yale to move to 9-1 overall and 4-0 in the Ivy League.
