Trinity, which won the Potter Trophy from 1999 to 2011 and in 2013, 2015, and 2017, downed No. 8-seeded Princeton 8–1 and then edged No. 4-seeded St. Lawrence 5–4 to reach the finals. Harvard, seeded No. 3 in the eight-team field, finished its year at 13–3. Top- seeded Trinity closed with a 20–0 record and will enter next season amid a 29-match winning streak. “This was a dream season in that every- thing that you wanted to have happen for the boys did happen,” said Trinity Head Coach Paul Assaiante. “Things don’t always happen the way we want them to. But this year everything did. Playing this at home is a huge advantage. Instead of all the extra noise getting in our way, it pushed us over the finish line.” ↗ For more on men’s squash and the rest of the winter season, please visit commons.trincoll. edu/Reporter or www.
