The 16th-ranked Navy squash team (11-3) dropped just its third match of the season, as #14 Western (4-5) dealt the Mids an 8-1 setback at the London Squash Club in London, Ontario, Canada on Saturday. The match marked Navy's first match in nearly 6 weeks, as the Mids last played the weekend of Nov. 22-24.

Match Highlights
• Saturday's match marked the 18th meeting between the two programs with Western winning 13 times
• Saturday's match marked just the 2nd time Navy has played at Western (Jan. 7, 2017 / Western 5-4) in series history

• While Western won 5 of its 8 matches in three-game decisions, Navy team captain Lucas Spiro (Buffalo, N.Y.), Michael Tierney Jr. (Berwyn, Pa.) and Sean Wu (Princeton, N.J.) pushed their foes to 4 games
• Alexander Orr (Jr / Haverford, Pa.) will look to add his name to the program's 50-win list when Navy returns home next weekend to play host to #17 Amherst (Jan. 10 / 3:30 pm), #20 Middlebury (Jan. 11 / 4:00 pm) and #11 Williams (12:00 pm).
