Quakers cruise past Lions en route to 2-0 Ivy start

Ibrahim Jaaber and Brian Grandieri paced the Quakers with 17 and 14 points, respectively, as Penn defeated Columbia 69-43 in New York last night.

The Quakers held the Lions to a 27.9% clip from the field, effectively thwarting their one-two punch of John Baumann on the perimeter and Ben Nwachukwu inside.

The sweep of Columbia and Cornell put Penn at the top of the Ivy League standings after the first full weekend of league play. Check back on Tuesday for in-depth coverage of the weekend's action.
