The Bates College men's squash team ran its record to 5-1 with a resounding 8-1 win over Cornell, just the Bobcats' second-ever win over the Big Red. The match was highlighted by a pair of big come-from-behind victories. Senior Kumayl Khaleeli (Karachi, Pakistan) at No. 6 and first-year player Ethan Kerr (Milton, Mass.) at No. 4 each dropped their first two games by close scores, only to come back and win the next three and emerge victorious. Only sophomore Sean Doherty (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) at No. 1 and junior Mike Foster (Southborough, Mass.) at No. 8 provided sweeps on the afternoon.
