Big news coming out of Saratoga Springs, N.Y. for Penn sprint football fans: the Quakers defeated perennial Collegiate Sprint Football League favorites Navy 24-14 on Saturday.

With a heavy dose of Penn's running game from senior Mike Bagnoli (who netted 104 yards on 29 rushes) and a bruising defense that tallied four sacks and four forced fumbles, the Quakers snapped a 10-game losing streak to Navy. The victory is even more impressive considering the Midshipmen had not lost a single game and were on a 25-game winning streak that dated back to 2006.

Coach Wagner spoke to me before the season about how the favorable schedule (two tune-up games against Princeton and Post, followed by a matchup with Navy early in the season) might give Penn a great shot at taking down Navy and lo and behold, the Quakers followed through.

As a result, Penn (now 3-0) is definitely in the driver's seat to make a legitimate run at the title. The CSFL certainly got a lot more interesting.
