		AMHERST MEN'S SQUASH SNAPS FOUR-MATCH LOSING SKID WITH 7-2 WIN OVER M.I.T. 14th-Ranked Jeffs Blanked by Top-Ranked Trinity in Nightcap AMHERST, MA - The 14th-ranked Amherst College men's squash team snapped a four-match losing streak with a 7-2 win over visiting M.I.T. on Wednesday, before falling to the top-ranked team in the nation, Trinity College, later that evening. M.I.T. presented a challenge at the top of the draw, handing the Jeffs' No. 1 and 2 seeds a pair of early losses. Amherst rebounded by sweeping the rest of the matches, however, with five of their seven victories coming by way of shutout. Senior John Brody (Baltimore, MD), juniors John Holodnak (Wellesley, MA) and David Bauer (Darien, CT), sophomore Asad Haque (Richmond Hill, Ontario) and first-year phenom Brian Lawrence (Concord, MA) each posted 3-0 wins for Amherst, while first-year Gifford Sommerkamp (Bethesda, MD) posted a hard-fought 3-2 victory and sophomore Andrew Merle (Lynnfield, MA) added a 3-1 win. Trinity (5-0) posed a more formidable challenge in the nightcap. The Bantams, who boast a whopping seven players in the NISRA Top-20, vary their lineup against mid-tier foes such as Amherst. As such, they totally dominated Amherst even while resting a number of players out of their top nine. The Trinity nine surrendered just one game in nine matches en route to a shutout win. Lawrence was the lone Amherst player to steal a game from Trinity, falling to first-year Taylor Robinson (Concord, NH), 3-1. Amherst (4-5) returns to action this Friday and Saturday at Franklin & Marshall.
