NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Columbia clinched a share of its first Ivy League title in program history with a 8-1 win over Princeton Friday evening. The No. 2-ranked Lions are the first team not named Harvard, Princeton or Yale to earn at least a share of the Ivy League men's squash championship since Penn shared the title with Harvard and Princeton in 1973-74. 

"Its a culmination of a lot of hard work and a long phase of building the right culture," head coach Jacques Swanepoel said about clinching the title. "But, we're not done. We want to do this the right way."

Columbia, which earn its first-ever win over Harvard this season, will be at least co-champions with the Crimson. The Lions are undefeated in League play and have a chance to clinch the title outright with a win over Penn on Sunday. 

Adham Madi won the first match of the night, defeating his opponent in three straight sets in the No. 6 position. Sophomore Robin Mann picked up the next win in the No. 7 spot, getting the victory in four sets. 

In his final home match, senior Seif Attia got the third Lion victory 3-1 in the No. 3 position. Freshman Krish Kapur sealed the fourth match of the day for the Lions in the eighth spot, 3-0. 

After being down 2-1, junior Carter Robitaille climbed his way back to win a five set thriller 3-2. He dominated the final set, only allowing his opponent to score three points.
