After a slow start, the Quakers were able to put away Cornell at Newman Arena to keep their spot atop the Ivy League standings. The 69-66 win gave Penn its third sweep of the Big Red in four seasons.
Senior Jewel Clark led the way for the Quakers (15-8, 9-1 Ivy) with 18 points on 8-of-17 shooting. A balanced attack from the Red and Blue saw eight players with six points or more.
The Penn bench made a statement, outscoring the Big Red reserves, 28-1.
