By Carol Matsuzaki

The MIT JV Squash Team traveled to Milton Academy for its last away match of the season on Monday. Although Milton is a powerhouse in squash and is undefeated, MIT gave them a few good battles.

James Habyarimana '98 played some great squash in a most grueling match, but lost 17­16 in the fourth. Robbie Chhabra '99 also lost 3­1 in a close match. Jon Goldman '98 totally dominated and never let his opponent in the match, as he took a 3­1 win.

Carol Matsuzaki '96 squandered leads of 2­0 in games and 14­10 in the fifth, but had just enough to pull out a 17­15 victory on a nick on the last point of the match. Torkel Engeness '97 lost 3­0 in three close games, as the last one went to 17­14.

Jacob Marcus '99 and his opponent see­sawed back and forth, but unfortunately, his opponent raised his level of play in the fifth game (15­10) to take the match, 3­2. Bryan Robinson '98 ran into a tough opponent and lost 3­0, making the final dual match score 5­2.

The team's last match is on Feb. 20 at 4 p.m. against Tufts University at the Alumni Pool Squash Courts.
