Weekend update

Saturday saw another strong showing for Penn's spring sports: here's an update on all of the day's action.

Women's tennis finished its whirlwind tour of the Ivy League, finishing 7-0 in league play and winning its first championship since 2002.

Men's lacrosse gave Maryland a decent run, but ultimately succumbed to a superior team. If Brian Voelker and crew want to be at the NCAA Tournament this year, they're going to have to pay for a ticket like everyone else.

Baseball took care of business at Meiklejohn Stadium, as Todd Roth and Jim Birmingham each won a game. The magic number for Penn to clinch the Gehrig Division over Cornell is 3.

In other news this weekend:

Men's tennis clinched a share of the Ivy League title Friday, and can get it all to itself Sunday with a win over Columbia at 2 p.m. That would mark only the second time in league history that the same school has won during the same year in both M. and W. Tennis.

Women's lacrosse made no mistake against Brown. Karin Brower's squad is inching closer to home field advantage throughout the NCAA Tournament.

Softball stayed on course for the title, managing a split against Princeton.

Rowing: The lightweight varsity eight came in last in the race for the Wood-Hammond Trophy. The heavyweights came in second out of three at the Blackwell Cup, and the women's varsity eight came in third out of four at the 1984 Trophy race.

Men's and women's golf will both wrap up the Ivy League championships tomorrow -- look to the DP's finals issue for coverage.

Track saw Tim Kaijala clock an NCAA regional time on the men's side at the Larry Ellis invitational.
