Navy Squash Sweeps Competition at Home Tournament

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The 16th-ranked Navy squash team improved to 3-1 on the year after putting together shutout victories over No. 32 Fordham, No. 31 Haverford and Boston University this weekend in the annual Navy Veterans Weekend Tournament. The Mids are now a combined 89-0 against these three programs.

Weekend Highlights
• All 11 players on the ladder saw action and earned wins for the Mids, including Jack Lentz (Jr / Philadelphia, Pa.), team captain Michael Kacergis (Sr / Malvern, Pa.), Millen Randell (Fr / Chicago, Ill.), Ryan York (So / Hunt Valley, Md.), Tommy Rankin (Fr / Atlanta, Ga.) and Gus Prager (So / New York, N.Y.) who went 3-0 on the weekend.
• Among the 26 individual matches played over the weekend, Navy surrendered just one - a 3-1 win by Prager over Haverford's Khalil Walker (6,8,{7},5).
• Freshmen Millen Randell, Tommy Rankin and Joe Kacergis all earned their first career victories and all three accomplished it in the Mids' 9-0 sweep against Fordham in the tournament opener. Rankin swept Winthrop Reed (5,6,2), Ranking picked up a win over Justin Deckoff (7,7,7) and Kacergis dealt Caleb Schumacher a 3-0 loss (1,1,3).
• Sophomores Thomas Prim and Will Hyer made their first appearances among the nine-player ladder this season. Prim allowed just three points in his win over Boston University's William Liu (2,0,1) at No. 8, while Hyer captured a 3-0 win over BU's Chad Lavoie (3,1,3).
• Owen Davis (Sr / Rydal, Pa.) went 2-0 over the weekend and is now just one win shy of 50 for his career.
• Behind his 3-0 mark, Jack Lentz broke the 40-win milestone and now chases 50. He has amassed a 42-15 record in what is his third season.

What's Ahead
• Navy will make a mid-week trip to Charlottesville, Va. on Wednesday where it will battle ninth-ranked Virginia at 5:30 pm.
• Last year's match in Annapolis was a nail-biter, going down to the final match of the afternoon. Navy held a 4-3 advantage with two matches left, but a Cavalier win in five games at the No. 5 spot led to a 4-4 tie with one remaining match. Jack Lentz went on to seal the Navy victory (5-4) by way of a 3-1 win over UVA's Patrick McElroy at the No. 1 position.
