St. Lawrence University's men's squash team split a pair of matches at Cornell Saturday to complete pre-holiday play, losing to the 6th-ranked Big Red 9-0, but coming back with a 7-2 win over 20th ranked Columbia.

The Saints, 4-2 overall and ranked 12th nationally, have lost only to the number four and six teams in the nation thus far this season and are now idle until playing Colby and Bowdoin at Yale in mid-January.

Vir Seth, Peter Lynn and Duncan Maxwell all pushed their matches to four games against host Cornell, but the Big Red prevailed in all.

Nicholas Sachvie, younger brother of Saint assistant coach Chris Sachvie, beat Saint number one Kyle Ogilvy 11-6, 11-5, 11-4; Seth won game one against Alex Domenick 11-7, but Domenick came back to win three straight 11, 1-, 11-2, 11-2 to take the match at two while Aditiya Jagtap of Cornell turned back the Saints' Ibrahim Khan 11-5, 11-5, 11-5 at three.

Will Campo lost 11-3, 14-12, 11-3 at four, William Hartigan of Cornell beat Seb Reidelsheimer of the Saints 11-4, 11-4, 11-12 and Anderson Good lost in three games at six. Chris Fernandez battled Cornell's Owen Butler with Butler winning 11-7, 11-8, 11-2 at seven and Lynn traded wins with Rishi Jalan at eight, Jalan winning 11-3 and Lynn 11-8 before Jalan closed it out with 11-7 and 11-8 wins. Bryan Keating of Cornell beat Dunanc Maxell 11-3, 11-2, 9-11, 11-8 at nine and Toma Kraft lost the exhibition match at ten in straight games.

Ogilvy lost to Columbia's Ramit Tandon at one, but the Saints came back with wins at two, three and four. Seth and Columbia's Tony Zou played a nip and tuck match at two with Seth winning 14-12, 14-12 11-8 and Khan was a 3-1 winner over Kyle Rhee at three, taking games one and two 11-5 and 11-3 before Rhee forced a fourth game with a 11-9 win in game three. Khan closed it out 11-7. Campo and Danial Saleem traded wins in games one and two before Campo finished it off with 12-10 and 11-9 wins at four.

Reidelsheimer lost a tough 3-2 match to Graham Miao at five, trailing 2-0 after 12-10 and 13-11 losses. He came back with 11-7 and 13-11 wins in games three and four, but Miao took the match with a 16-14 cliffhanger in the fifth game.

Good won 3-1 at six, and Fernandez, Lynn and Maxell all were 3-0 winners at seven, eighth and nine to close out the match while Kraft won the exhibition at ten, 3-0.
