Four players on Penn men’s soccer currently rank near the top of the Ivy League for individual statistics in shots, goals, assists, and points. Yet on the same page of the Ivy League website, only a few categories credit defense — with saves and shutouts presenting the only measured distinctions for defensive players.
There are a handful of traditions that are synonymous with Penn: throwing toast at football games, Spring Fling, and perhaps most notably, Hey Day, where soon-to-be seniors march down Locust Walk with canes and are officially declared seniors by the University president. The celebration, which normally takes place during April of one’s junior year, was postponed to the following fall for the Class of 2022, and it will be held on Oct. 13.
Update: On January 31, 2023, the Municipal Court of Philadelphia found that the individual accused of engaging in the alleged assault described in this article, Nicholas Hamilton, was not guilty of any misconduct.

If Week 3 of the NFL is representative of the larger season in the slightest, then expect an engaging 2021-22 season with plenty of unexpected scores. Here's a look at how Penn alumni in the NFL fared last week.
After a tensely challenged 90 minutes against reigning MAAC champions Monmouth, the Quakers claimed the win at Rhodes Field by flipping the scoreline of their preceding 1-0 loss against Rutgers on the road.
EASTON, Pa. — It’s never a great sign when a team’s punter arguably has the best day out of anyone on the team.
The return of in-person classes has meant many things for Penn's student body, most of them positive. However, one subgroup of students cannot always fully participate in on-campus activities. Last week, numerous students with physical disabilities reported accessibility problems on campus, such as with academic buildings, housing, and extracurriculars. This is not the first time the University's students with disabilities have felt excluded from campus culture, as students with disabilities such as autism and deafness have also reported challenges in navigating campus.
Aly Abou Eleinen happens to have been born right at the turn of the millennium on January 1, 2000, which might be an unconscious factor in his desire to establish himself as one of the elite squash players of this millennium so far.
Penn men’s soccer hosted Mount St. Mary's at Rhodes Field for a chance to redeem themselves after a draw on Monday night. The Quakers thus proved their diligence in a 5-1 win, as five different Penn players made the scoresheet.
On Tuesday, College Dean Paul Sniegowski sent an email to students saying that Penn is optimistic the fall semester will be conducted in person. An in-person semester is certainly welcome news for Penn’s student body, many of whom expressed excitement when it resumed last month.
After notching a loss and a tie in the last two games, Penn women’s soccer (3-1-2) came up with a decisive 4-0 win on Sunday against George Washington (0-6-2).
After Penn field hockey started off the season not as strong as it had hoped — losing matches to Louisville and North Carolina — the Quakers bounced back to win two straight, in large part due to sophomore Sabien Paumen's play in goal.
This fall, Penn football will be charging into an unfamiliar competitive environment, as the Ivy League learns to operate the circus that follows when a season is canceled: freshmen and sophomore athletes who are essentially rookies, "super seniors" in their fifth year of competition and most significantly, the effects of a long break on performances on the fields. Here's a preview of how the Ancient Eight schools hope to recover from the canceled season.
On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, The Daily Pennsylvanian Editorial Board wrote in part, “In another 10 years, students at Penn will have no firsthand memory of that day, no recollection of the sorrow and solidarity that followed … It is for this next generation that we pause for remembrance on the 10-year anniversary of 9/11. We must leave them a record that conveys the momentousness of the event and imparts the lessons we’ve learned.”
In a move that will shift the structure of Penn gymnastics’ upcoming seasons, the team announced today that they’ll be joining the Gymnastics East Conference in 2022.
This fall, students returned to campus, many experiencing it for the first time. For some, one of the benefits of an in-person learning experience is access to exercise facilities, including Pottruck, Penn’s numerous grassy plains, and Penn Park.
Penn has declared this upcoming academic year as the year of civic engagement, emphasizing a commitment to our surrounding communities, like West Philadelphia, and the rest of the world. Almost 200 organizations listed on Penn Clubs fall under the umbrella of community service; with such a prevalent culture surrounding civic engagement and specifically community service, it is very easy to want to participate in as many projects and initiatives as possible. I encourage you, of course, to tackle issues you care about and enjoy your volunteering experiences. However, over my time at Penn, I have discovered that much of Penn’s philanthropic culture, whether due to bad faith or inefficacy, is not what it initially seems.
Playing for the first time in almost two years, Penn women’s soccer started the season off strong, finishing its game on Friday against Temple with a draw and winning its game against George Mason on Sunday.

Going into the upcoming athletics season, Penn's fall sports teams will see action for the first time since 2019.
