The Bard men's squash team continued to battle at the College Squash Association national championships in Philadelphia, falling to Haverford 8-1 on Saturday morning.
Playing in Group 2 of the Conroy Cup, the Raptors faced a strong Haverford squad. At #3,
Will Egan played three close games against a tough opponent, and the team's other highlight was a five-set victory from
Artemy Mukhin at #1 in a well-played match. Mukhin won the first set and dropped the next two, but battled back in sets four and five to take the win in 70 minutes.
