MEDFORD, Mass. - The Williams College men's squash team suffered an 8-1 loss at the hands of Tufts University on Saturday afternoon, with first-year Leighton Calhoun earning the sole victory for the Ephs.

Calhoun took the victory in a back-and-forth affair, taking 1-0 and 2-1 leads before finally finishing off his competitor in the fifth. The game scores were 11-8, 10-12, 11-9, 6-11, 11-7.
