LANCASTER, Pa. -- The No. 20 nationally ranked Bates men's squash team finished its opening road trip with a 1-1 record after falling 9-0 at No. 17 Franklin & Marshall Sunday afternoon. 

The Diplomats (3-1) swept eight of the nine matches on Sunday, with junior Graham Bonnell (Southport, Conn.) turning in the strongest performance for Bates. He won his first game at the No. 1 position by a count of 11-3 before falling 12-10 in the second game. The Diplomats' Shams Abbas ended up winning the match 3-1. 

Despite being swept in the other matches, the Bobcats didn't amek it easy for the Diplomats, with a number of games decided by just two points. First-year Jesper Phillips (Moss, Norway) had a particularly close match, falling 3-0 (11-9, 11-7, 11-9) at the No. 5 position to Matthew Dukarm.
