PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania men's squash team (4-0, 0-0) continued its perfect start to the season, rolling over #16 Navy (6-5) by a final score of 9-0. The win was the third shutout in four matches for the Quakers this season, and the second on the road.
 
In what has been an incredible start to the season, the Quakers extended their season point lead to 33-3 in the victory. Just one game was dropped in this one, by David Yacobucci, one of only two remaining Quakers to not drop a game this season. However, the captain responded with a dominant 11-0 third game win, becoming the second player in as many days to record an 11-0 game win.
 
Freshman Saksham Choudhary extended his incredible collegiate start to 4-0, still yet to drop a game in his career. His win over Thomas Rankin helped seal the win for the Quakers, who controlled the match from the get-go.
 
Junior Ryan Murray was inserted into the lineup for his first match of the season and did not disappoint. Murray showed tremendous energy, taking the first two games 11-4 and 11-2, before holding on for a 3-0 match victory.
