The Scarlet and Brown got their second and third sweep of the weekend as the St. Lawrence University men's squash team swept Hamilton College and Wesleyan University by scores of 9-0 at Hamilton College on Saturday afternoon .

"The matches today went well and it shows our improvement as a team," said head coach Scott Denne "It also showed our team regaining strength in the CSA. All of the players played strong and it was a good way to end the first part of the season gaining some momentum as we head into the second part of our schedule on January."

The first match was another perfect one for the Saints as the team swept Hamilton 9-0. First-year Lewis Anderson continued his dominant play with a 11-3, 11-5, 11-3 sweep over Hamilton's Tate Suratt. Anderson's sweep was matched by St. Lawrence's No. 2, 3, and 4 players. Nathan Mead, Alejandro Moncada, and Sebastian De La Vega each earned 3-0 sweeps to put the Saints in a commanding position.

The Saints also received 3-0 sweeps from Hassan Madkour in the No. 6 spot, Jack Turvey in the No. 8 spot, and Dean Brooker in the No. 9 spot.

Vladimir Iglesias lost his first set to Ashby Howard 3-11, but settled in and won 11-9, 11-7, 11-6 the rest of the way in the No. 5 spot. The team sweep hinged on the No. 7 match between Oliver Bikhazi-Green and Hamilton's Simon Muller. Bikhazi-Green went up two sets to one after going 11-8, 7-11, 11-4 in the first three sets. He dropped the fourth set, but showed poise winning the fifth set 11-9 to complete the team sweep. Ewan Farr played a tenth match against Oliver Constable winning 11-9, 9-11, 9-11, 11-5, 11-2.

The second match featured another dominant effort up and down the lineup for the Scarlet and Brown. The Saints' top-four once again provided 3-0 sweeps. Anderson won his No. 1 matchup 12-10, 11-3, 11-7, while Mead defeated Abhinav Gupta 11-3, 11-7, 11-5 in the No, 2 spot. Moncada cruised to a 11-3, 11-4 start and fought for a 15-13 match win in the No. 3 spot. De La Vega cruised to an 11-2, 11-5, 11-7 win to round our the top of the lineup.

Iglesias played an exciting match in the No. 5 spot winning 15-13, 12-10, 11-6. The bottom-four of Madkour, Bikhazi-Green, Turvey, and Brooker all put their competition away in straight sets. All four Saints held their opponents under 10 points in every set.

The Scarlet and Brown will be off for over a month for the winter break and will come back on Friday, January 14^th for a match against Chatham in Amherst, Massachusetts, followed by a Saturday contest against Amherst College.
