LANCASTER, Pa. – The No. 5 Franklin & Marshall men's squash team closed out its 2013-14 regular season in style, taking down No. 13 Navy with an 8-1 score on Saturday afternoon at the Mayser Center. The win moved the Diplomats' record to 14-3 on the season, while the Midshipmen fell to 14-6. 

Playing his final contest at home, Jack Cutler stormed back from a 2-0 deficit to take a thrilling 3-2 victory (9-11, 9-11, 11-9, 11-6, 16-14) from the No. 2 position. Knotted up at 14-14 in the deciding fifth game, Cutler took the final two points, including an incredible right-handed, cross-court shot on match point, to earn his second-straight win. 

F&M was faced with little resistance in the majority of its victories on the day, picking up five sweeps from Abhishek Pradhan at No. 1 (11-5, 11-3, 11-8), Mauricio Sedano at the No. 3 spot (11-8, 11-4, 11-4), Wesley "Cole" Osborne at No. 4 (11-8, 12-10, 11-5), Pedro Veiga de Almeida at No. 6 (11-5, 11-1, 11-4) and Ryan Mullaney from the No. 8 position (11-9, 11-2, 11-5). 

Alex Arjoon (No. 5) was down 1-0 after falling by an 11-9 score in his opening game, but fought back to win three straight (11-3, 11-6, 11-4), while Brian Henry outlasted his opponent in a marathon 3-2 contest (10-12, 11-7, 11-7, 8-11, 11-8). 

The Diplomats return to action on Friday for day one of the Collegiate Squash Association (CSA) Team Championships, hosted by Harvard. F&M will compete in the "A" Potter Cup Division, where one of the top eight teams in the country will be crowned the national champion.
