NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The No. 4 Yale Bulldogs bested the No. 2
Rochester Yellowjackets Sunday afternoon on the road, pulling off a
6-3 upset at the Peter Lyman Squash Courts in Rochester.
The Bulldogs improved to 5-0 on the season with the impressive
non-conference victory. Rochester dropped its first
match after starting the year with four consecutive
victories.
Rochester won the top three matches on the ladder, while Yale
swept the four through nine positions. Sophomore John
Roberts provided Yale's only 3-0 win of the day at the No. 5
position by defeating Yellowjacket Matt Domenick. Hywel
Robinson (No. 4), Richard Dodd (No. 6), Naishadh Lalwani (No. 8),
and Robert Berner (No. 9) all earned 3-1 victories. No.
7 Ryan Dowd pulled out a tough 3-2 victory with an 11-4 win in the
fifth game.
The Yellowjackets moved into the No. 2 national ranking after
defeating Princeton 5-4 on Dec. 13. The Bulldogs should move
up from their current No. 4 ranking following the decisive
victory.
The Bulldogs will next play in the Yale Round
Robin on Friday against Bates. On Jan. 20 Yale will face
No. 1 ranked Trinity at home in one of this season's most
anticipated games.
