2014-2015 Dunlop Men’s College Squash Team Rankings (1/11/2015)

Columbia’s first-ever program victory over Yale moved the Lions to the 5th ranking position. Rochester and Harvard moved up a position to 3rd and 4th, respectively. Yale dropped to 6th. For the first time in recent memory — perhaps ever — the top three teams in the rankings are all non-Ivy League schools.

Princeton’s and Penn’s victories over Dartmouth rearranged the 8th through 11th positions. Princeton, F&M, and Penn all move up a position, while Dartmouth fell to 11th.

The 12th – 17th positions were rearranged with victories by George Washington over Bates and Bates over Navy.  With many matches remaining for this grouping of teams, these ranking positions appear to be very fluid.

Teams are reminded that to qualify for the National Team Championships, they must meet minimum match requirements:

• Varsity teams are required to play ten (10) matches against other CSA teams to enter team championships. At minimum, each team should have at least 6 different opponents. Varsity teams should play the majority of their matches against other varsity schools.
• Club teams are required to play eight (8) matches against other CSA teams to enter team championships in a 9 player division. In addition, club teams must play at least four (4) matches between January 1st and February 10th. At minimum, each team should have at least five (5) different opponents.

For a regular season match to officially count for ranking purposes, each team must have at least seven players. Except for Emerging Teams, matches with less than seven players per team will not count towards the required number of matches for entry into the National Team Championships.
