The No. 20-ranked Saints swept the top-three of the lineup and earned a win at No. 6, but the St. Lawrence University men's squash team came up just short of the win as they fell 5-4 to No. 14 Bates College at the Robie Squash Courts on Monday afternoon.

The Scarlet and Brown fell to 1-3 on the year, while Bates moved to 6-1.

At number one, Lewis Anderson got off to a 2-0 start winning his first two games 13-11 and 11-6 over Alec Spiro. The Bobcats number one narrowly took the third game 12-10 before Anderson closed the match with an 11-5 win.

In the quickest match of the afternoon, Inwoo Lee took on the Bobcats' Jonathan Walker and swept the match 11-3, 11-3, 11-1.
At number three, Alejandro Moncada also earned a match sweep as he won 11-4, 11-7, 11-5 over Harris Ramlee.

The final win for St Lawrence came in the last match as Vladimir Iglesias took on Labeeb Ali at number six. Iglesias took the opening game 11-8 before dropping the next 11-0. Iglesias would right the ship with 11-6 and 16-14 wins to take the match.
