PHILADELPHIA- The top-ranked University of Pennsylvania men's squash team will head to Connecticut this weekend, with matches against fifth-ranked Yale on Saturday, and third-ranked Trinity on Sunday.

The Quakers will be seeking revenge against the two foes that handed them losses in the Potter Cup last season, ending their quest for a National Championship.

Penn will be on the road for back-to-back matches for the first time this season and will conclude their regular season in New Jersey next weekend.
