The Martlets found themselves playing Deerfield with Westminster's top two players out because of injury or illness. That meant that Zach Eckerson '21 played at the No. 1 spot instead of the No. 3 spot. That disadvantage mattered, too, as the Black and Gold ended up losing 2-7 to the Big Green in a highly competitive and entertaining match. Ian Lee '21 and Ral Reyes '21 both won in four games at Nos. 6 and 7 respectively. Gabe Lugo '23 and Sung Min Cho '22 lost tough five-game matches at Nos. 4 and 8 respectively. At No. 5, Charlie Pappas '22 lost for the first time this year in three games, but the first game was 9-11 and the second game 13-15. Just as Eckerson and Pappas have been playing excellent squash, so has Lee whose four-game victory earns him the "nail" for today's match.

No. 1 Zach Eckerson '21 lost to Willy Conzelman (7), (10), (7)
