Rochester v. Yale – THIS Sunday

From Coach Heath:
“Rochester defeated Yale 5-4 last year at Nationals in what was one of the most nail-biting finishes ever in college squash.
Freshman Matt Domenick was up against Junior and season-long No.1 Aaron Fuchs in the deciding match. Matt pulled off an incredible 3-2 victory against his more experienced opponent to send Rochester into the semi-finals. This was the first time Rochester had beaten Yale and their first time they would compete in the semi-finals of the CSA Nationals.
This result reversed an enjoyable 5-4 tussle between Yale & Rochester at Yale during the season. Yale rallied from behind to clinch some unlikely victories and the overall match 5-4, though this loss made the reversal all the more sweet for Rochester later in the season.
Yale look to have a very strong recruiting year, and while they lose two solid performers from their mid-order in Colin Campbell & Francis Johnson, they look to have improved their overall standard.
The result is far from being predictable, though Rochester will have the home court advantage this year.”
2009 CSA Championship Rochester vs. Yale 02/20/2009
Clinching the last and deciding match for University of Rochester in the team’s 5-4 win over Yale, Freshman Matt Domenick breaks a string at match ball, then returns to the court to win the gruelling 5 game match against his Yale opponent, Aaron Fuchs. The exuberant team swarms him to soak in the historic win that nets a minimum top four team finish.

They face off again this Sunday after almost a year. The Bulldogs will be looking for sweet revenge but the Yellowjackets have the home court advantage. So come give it to them!
