Cambridge, MA — Princeton University, Northeastern University, and the University of Notre Dame won their divisions at the 2014 Men’s National Team Championships.

B Division (Hoehn Cup): Before the B Division final between Princeton and Columbia began, the Tigers were presented with the Sloane Award, which is given annually to recognize outstanding team sportsmanship. Former Princeton head coach Bob Callahan was in attendance, and he received a standing ovation when it was announced he would be inducted into the Men’s College Squash Hall of Fame during the Individual Championships. The Hoehn Cup final was extremely close. Columbia led 2-1 after the first flight of matches. Princeton swept the second round to pull ahead 4-3. Columbia took two matches in the final round, but Princeton got the one win they needed to clinch the Hoehn Cup.

E Division (Chaffee Cup): The Chaffee Cup  was the last division final scheduled for the tournament. Neither Northeastern nor Boston College was  going to go home early. All three of the contests in the first flight of matches went to four games, and Northeastern’s Daniel Blohm defeated BC’s Kilbourn Gordon 18-16 in the fourth to win the #6 match. BC led 2-1 after the first flight, and they went up 4-2 after the second flight. Northeastern needed to win every remaining match, and they did, sweeping the final three matches 3-0. The final score was Northeastern 5, Boston College 4.

H Division: This was the first year there was an H Division at the Men’s National Team Championships. (No Emerging Teams Division was held this year.) Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Minnesota, and Sewanee competed in round robin play for the H Division title. Notre Dame defeated both Vanderbilt and Sewanee on Saturday. On Sunday morning, the Fighting Irish defeated Minnesota as well, winning the first-ever H Division title. Notre Dame won the Emerging Teams Division in 2006, but this is the team’s first nine-player division title.

Cambridge, MA — Middlebury College, Connecticut College, Washington University in St. Louis, and Bryant University won their divisions at the 2014 Men’s National Team Championships.

C Division (Summers Cup): Add 2014 to the list of Middlebury’s C Division titles. The Panthers have now won the Summers Cup four times since 2009. Today’s win might have been one of the most dramatic. During the regular season, Middlebury had defeated Brown 6-3. Today’s match was even closer. The two teams were tied 4-all coming into the final match, and Middlebury came away with the crucial victory. The final score was Middlebury 5, Brown 4, and the Summers Cup is headed back to Vermont.

D Division (Conroy Cup): Connecticut College and Hobart have both had success in Conroy Cup finals. Conn went on a run from 2009 to 2011, winning the D Division three times in a row. Hobart captured the Conroy Cup in 2007 and 2012. Today it was the Camels’ day: they jumped out to a 2-1 lead after the first flight of matches. Hobart evened the score in the second round, but then Conn pulled away, sweeping the final flight to win the Conroy Cup for the fourth time. The final score was Connecticut College 6, Hobart 3.

F Division (Serues Cup): This year marked Chicago’s debut at the Men’s National Team Championships, and the Maroons reached the Serues Cup final on their first try. Their opponents, Washington University in St. Louis, had won the G Division in 2011. Wash U took the lead in the first flight of matches, going up 2-1. That pattern held throughout the match. Wash U won two matches in the second flight, and Chicago stayed in it with another win. Wash U clinched in the final flight, adding the Serues Cup to their growing collection of hardware. The final score was Wash U 6, Chicago 3.

G Division (Hawthorn Cup): Cal reached the Hawthorn Cup finals last year only to fall to Charleston. The Golden Bears had another shot at the G Division title today, but Bryant proved to be too strong. The Bulldogs were ahead before the match even began: travel delays prevented some of the Cal players from reaching Boston, and the team had to default one match. But Bryant didn’t need the head start. The Bulldogs swept the remaining matches, winning five by a score of 3-0. This is Bryant’s first division title at the Men’s National Team Championships.

Cambridge, MA — The snow has started, and the Men’s National Team Championships continue.

A Division (Potter Cup): Earlier this afternoon, Harvard and Trinity advanced to the Potter Cup finals. Cornell prevailed in a tight, tense match against Rochester. The Big Red will play St. Lawrence in the consolation finals.

B Division (Hoehn Cup): Princeton and Columbia will play in the B Division finals tomorrow.

C Division (Summers Cup): Since 2009, Middlebury has won the C Division three times, including last year. The Panthers will have another shot at the Summers Cup tomorrow thanks to their commanding victory over George Washington today. Though Middlebury dominated the lower matches, the top three matches all went to five games, with GW winning both #1 and #2 by a score of 13-11 in the fifth. The final match score was Middlebury 7, George Washington 2. The other C Division semifinal came down to the wire. Brown and Wesleyan were tied 4-all coming into the final match. Brown’s #1 player, senior tri-captain Blake Reinson, won in four games to take the match for the Bears. In the consolation semifinals, Amherst beat Colby 5-4 in a closely contested match. The Jeffs will play Bowdoin in the consolation final tomorrow.

D Division (Conroy Cup): Connecticut College and Hobart advanced to the D Division final earlier today. Johns Hopkins defeated MIT 5-4 in the consolation semis. The Blue Jays will play Georgetown in the consolation final tomorrow.

E Division: (Chaffee Cup): The E Division semifinals couldn’t have been much closer. Northeastern held off Tufts to win 5-4; the Huskies’ wins all came from the bottom of the ladder. Boston College roared out to a 3-0 lead in their match against Denison. The Big Red started to close the gap in the next round, but the Eagles got the win they needed in the final flight to clinch the match 5-4. Northeastern and BC have played twice already this season, and the Huskies have won both times. Will the third time be the charm for the Eagles?

F Division (Serues Cup): Washington University in St. Louis upset the top-seeded team in the division, NYU, in the semifinals. Wash U built up a lead in the first flight of matches and didn’t look back, winning 6-3. Chicago and Charleston traded matches up and down the ladder, but Chicago came out on top and advanced with a 5-4 win. Chicago defeated Wash U 5-4 when the two teams played in late January, so tomorrow’s final should be exciting.

G Division (Hawthorn Cup): Cal and Ithaca had a competitive semifinal match. Almost all of the matches went past three games, and many games went into tie-breakers. However, Cal ultimately had the edge, winning at #1, #2, #5, #6, and #8 to take the match 5-4. The Golden Bears will play Bryant in the final tomorrow.

H Division: Notre Dame is unbeaten in round robin play so far. The Fighting Irish defeated Vanderbilt 6-3 and swept Sewanee 9-0. Minnesota notched a 5-4 win over Sewanee, and Vanderbilt defeated Minnesota 5-4. Minnesota and Notre Dame will play tomorrow, as will Vanderbilt and Sewanee.

Cambridge, MA — This afternoon saw Harvard and Trinity advance to the national championship final as the action continued at the 2014 Men’s National Team Championships.

A Division (Potter Cup): Harvard fans packed the Murr Center to cheer on the home team in their semifinal match against Franklin & Marshall. During introductions, Harvard recognized the seniors on the team, and several players’ mothers came on court with their sons. The crowd was also treated to an epic speech by F&M associate head coach Ron Epps. On court, the Crimson made quick work of the Diplomats, advancing to the Potter Cup final without dropping a match. In fact, the team only lost three games overall, winning six of the nine matches 3-0. In the other A Division semifinal, defending champions Trinity earned another shot at the Potter Cup with an 8-1 win over Yale. Trinity swept the first flight of matches and built momentum from there. Though it was a long match, the Bantams never lost control. Harvard defeated Trinity 7-2 in Hartford during the regular season, and the top-seeded Crimson will be sure to pack the house again for tomorrow’s match. If Trinity’s ever-boisterous fans can brave the snow tomorrow, there should be a great crowd for the final.

B Division (Hoehn Cup): Princeton and Columbia advanced to the B Division final earlier in the day.

C Division (Summers Cup): Bowdoin defeated Hamilton in the consolation semifinals.

D Division (Conroy Cup): The top two seeds in the D Division have both advanced to the final. Connecticut College, the top seed, defeated Bucknell 7-2 in one semifinal, while second-seeded Hobart defeated Stanford 8-1. The Camels defeated the Statesmen 5-4 during the regular season, so tomorrow’s match should be close. Stanford and Bucknell will play for 27th place in the tournament; the winner will also be crowned the top club team in the nation.

During the regular season, Princeton defeated Columbia 7-2. The Tigers will be favored to win tomorrow, but Columbia has a history of dramatic upsets at nationals, and today’s match showed they can win in a fight.

The awards ceremony scheduled for this evening has been cancelled due to the snow storm barreling toward Boston. As a result, Drexel was presented with the Barnaby Award before their consolation semifinal against Williams; the Barnaby Award recognizes the most improved team.

Harvard will play F&M, and Trinity will play Yale in the semifinals.

B Division (Hoehn Cup): The semifinal match-ups for the B Division are set. Navy had hopes of taking down Dartmouth in the first round; after all, the Midshipmen came within a match of defeating the Big Green during their regular season meeting. Dartmouth widened the gap this time around, taking the wind out of the Mids’ sails with a 6-3 win. In a rematch of the 2013 Hoehn Cup final, Western Ontario faced Williams.

George Washington will face the winner of the Middlebury-Hamilton match in the semifinals, and Brown will play Wesleyan.
