The event is being hosted by Yale at the Brady Squash Center. The 15th-ranked Panthers (12-6) return to action Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. for the 15th/16th-place match against #16 Brown.

The Midshipmen secured three-game victories in five of Saturday's nine matches. Middlebury's Wyatt French and Navy's Senen Ubina split the first four games at #2, but Ubina grabbed the point with an 11-8 victory in the fifth game (11-8, 6-11, 11-9, 5-11, 11-8). At #7, William Kurth and the Naval Academy's Williams Walker also needed a deciding fifth game before Walker gave the Midshipmen a point (11-9, 6-11, 5-11, 11-9, 11-5).

The other two matches that went more than three games were at #5 and #6. Henry Pearson won the opening game for the Panthers in the fifth spot, but dropped the next tightly-contested three to Navy's Randy Beck (6-11, 11-8, 11-9, 12-10). Middlebury's Ben Krant and the Naval Academy's Dylan Sweeney were tied at 1-1 in the sixth spot before Sweeney earned wins in games three and four en route to the win (11-9, 11-13, 11-3, 11-6).
