The Saints were able to get two sweeps in the top-three, but the 23rd-ranked St. Lawrence University men's squash team would eventually fall 5-4 to 14th-ranked Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa. on Sunday afternoon.

"Another close match for the men today with it coming down to the last match, but it was just not to be," said head coach Scott Denne "We had some players not at their best today but those are the ones we have to find a way to win. We are looking forward to our match with Brown tomorrow to bounce back."

St. Lawrence leaned heavily on their top-four as Lewis Anderson, Alejandro Moncada, and Sebastian De La Vega each remained undefeated for the season with wins.

Anderson swept the number one spot 12-10, 11-7, 11-8 against Petr Nohel, while fellow first-year Moncada also earned a 3-0 sweep beating Teddy Eill 16-14, 13-11, 11-8 in the number three spot. De La Vega earned his team-leading eighth win of the year in the number four spot after going down 2-1 early in his match with Michael Tallentire. The first three sets went 11-7, 14-16, 7-11 in favor of Tallentie, but De La Vega handled his business in the fourth and fifth set 11-4 and 11-5 to take the match.

Dean Brooker earned the fourth win for the Saints 3-2 in the number nine spot. Brooker went up 2-1 after losing the first set 11-7. After dropping the fourth set 11-7, Brooker rallied to win the final set 11-9. The overall match was tied at 4-4 with just the number six spot left to play. The Diplomats earned the 3-0 sweep to take the match.

Harry Robson played in the tenth spot for St. Lawrence winning 15-14, 8-11, 11-7, 5-11, 11-6 over Blake Newcomer.

St. Lawrence will be right back in action tomorrow as the Saints travel to Providence, R.I. to take on Brown University at 11:00 a.m.
