A 'W' for the W's [updated]

 

Earlier this week, I asked which of Penn's slumping basketball teams would snap its season-long skid first?

Well, folks, we have an answer.

The women's basketball team defeated St. Francis, 52-48, at the Palestra, making the Quakers 1-9 and infinitely better than the men. Mike McLaughlin, the winningest coach in the NCAA, finally picked up his first Division I victory. Kim Adams, a dismal 1-for-15 on Tuesday, led the Quakers with 17 points, while Jerin Smith posted 12 rebounds. Given the state of Penn hoops, perhaps this should rank as one of the top moments of 2009.

As for the men? They got "demolished" (Penn Athletics'  word) at Duke, losing 114-55. It was the worst loss in Penn's history.

And here's to wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year.
