PHILADELPHIA - The No 30 Haverford College men's squash team (7-10) closed out the team portion of the regular season with a commanding 8-1 victory over NESCAC foe No. 31 Connecticut College (4-13), wrapping up Collegiate National Championship action at the Arlen Specter US Squash Center on Sunday morning. 

Haverford bested Connecticut College for the second time this season, and did so in the postseason in convincing fashion, taking wins via sweep at seven of nine positions. One of the most impressive performances came from Quinton Crawford at the top flight, as the junior secured a winning record by virtue of his sweep over Tyler Maguire in the first round to hit the courts. Crawford finishes the team season with a 9-8 mark after a 3-1 weekend. 

Minor Reedich similarly dispatched Alex Lorenzo-Cruz at the fourth flight before the Camels got one back on their side of the tally sheet as Zadoc Bond was outlasted in a five-game thriller at the ninth flight. Peter Lehv, Ben Schiltz, and Alden Weinberg then all prevailed via sweep as the third, fifth, and seventh flights hit the courts, giving Haverford assurance of the match victory heading into the final three contests of the day. 

Noah Tunis later shook off a second game loss to MD Jawad to prevail in four, while John Collins and Aaron Witkin picked up relatively straight forward sweeps to reflect the 8-1 scoreline at the sixth and eighth flights, respectively. 

Haverford is now 8-11 all-time against Connecticut College, as the Fords have captured three of the last four meetings between the two sides. Haverford improved on its 6-3 victory the last time the two sides met in December at Vassar's Round Robin tournament in Poughkeepsie. 

With the team season concluded, The Fords will now await the pairings for the CSA Individual Championships, which are slated to be held on March 4-6 right back at the Specter Center.
