The Good, the Bad & the Ugly: W. Soccer vs. Dartmouth

Penn avenged last season's loss with a 1-0 victory over the Big Green at Rhodes Field. The lone goal came from junior forward Megan York in the 57th minute, while sophomore midfielder Erin Mikolai received credit for the assist. The win catapults the Quakers into second place in the Ivy League, behind Harvard, which is unbeaten in conference play.

THE GOOD: Red and Blue push back. Dartmouth is a notoriously physical team, but the Quakers held their ground in the face of the Big Green's bruising play. Penn's toughness and composure, in conjunction with a deep bench, were crucial in securing a win.

THE BAD: Goals are still few and far between. Penn has only recorded multiple goals once in its past seven games and has logged one goal or less in nine out of 13 matches this season. This puts constant pressure on what is, luckily, the conference's best defense.

THE UGLY: Wait, you can do that? Though the Red and Blue stood their ground physically, it wasn't always pretty. In particular, it was a favorite defensive tactic, on both sides, to simply run over the player with the ball. Fouls were called in response...sometimes.
