Vassar Men's Squash Notes - Haverford, Bates

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY (November 29, 2017) – The Brewers play for the final time this year when they host Bates and Haverford on Saturday, December 2 in Kenyon Hall. Action begins against the Bobcats at 10:00 a.m. and concludes with a 3:00 p.m. match against the Fords.
 
Last Time Out:  Vassar dropped both of their contests at Wesleyan on November 18. The Brewers fell to Wesleyan, 9-0, and to Bryant, 5-4.
 
A Look at the Brewers (4-5):
  • Alex Riccio, Mathieu Rizk, and Isaac Stuart all lead the team with a 5-4 record this season.
  • Rizk has made an immediate impact during his rookie season, fitting right into the No. 2 spot for the Brewers.
  • Three of Vassar's four wins have come at home this season, meaning a return to Kenyon Hall should get the Brewers back on track.
  • Caden Gruber has played in all nine games for the Brewers as the No. 3, and has four wins thus far.
  • Vassar faced Haverford twice last season, falling 8-1 in both instances.
 
A Look at the Bobcats (2-0):
  • Bates is 2-0 this season after defeating Bowdoin and Conn. College by scores of 9-0.
  • Sophomore Mohamed Yousry is the team's No. 1 and is 2-0 this year.
  • Sophomore Graham Bonnell was named the NESCAC Men's Squash Player of the Week on November 20.
  • The No. 18 Bobcats have taken down two Top 30 teams this season, No. 27 Bowdoin and No. 30 Conn. College.
  • All nine Bates players have a 2-0 record this season.
 
A Look at the Fords (3-0):
  • Haverford is unblemished this season having beaten Fordham, Boston U., and Swarthmore.
  • Last time out on November 18, the Fords topped Swarthmore 9-0.
  • Tate Miller plays as the Fords No. 1 and is 3-0 this season.
  • Six Haverford players have a 3-0 record thus far.
  • The Fords are ranked 31st in the nation according to US Squash.
