Even though the school year is over and graduation has come and gone, the seasons for some Penn athletes are not done yet. And for key members of Penn track & field, Memorial Day weekend marked a chance to prove their skill and speed on a national stage.

NEW YORK — The last time Penn played Princeton in an Ivy League Tournament semifinal, it was a basketball game held at the Tigers’ home court of Jadwin Gymnasium, where Princeton emerged victorious en route to an Ivy Championship and Sweet 16 berth.
While not many would think that a game where the victor extended its win streak from eight to nine an upset, Penn women’s basketball’s win over Columbia certainly counts as one. When the team entered the Palestra on an early January Saturday night, the Lions were 13-2 and had just defeated Princeton, the team that would ultimately go on to win the Ivy League Championship. The Quakers swiftly halted the Lions' momentum, though, defended home court and emerged with a 71-67 victory.
After a disappointing 7-6-3 record in 2021 — including a subpar 1-4-2 against Ivy opponents, Penn men’s soccer came into 2022 with something to prove. And prove they did: the Quakers won an Ivy title, advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, and finished with a 13-3-2 overall record.
As the hosts of Penn Relays, the Quakers' track and field program is sending a large force to represent the Red and Blue this year — despite the event occurring just one week before the 2023 Ivy League Outdoor Heptagonal Championships. Here are five Penn men's athletes to look out for at Franklin Field this weekend.
While much of Penn was still recovering from the Spring Fling concert Friday night and making its way to Penn Park for Saturday’s carnival, Penn men’s lacrosse spent Saturday afternoon at Franklin Field putting on a different kind of show: a commanding 17-6 win over Dartmouth.
Billionaire Wharton alumnus and prominent sports businessman Josh Harris is at the helm of a group has reached a tentative agreement to purchase the Washington Commanders NFL franchise. Sportico first reported last Thursday that the Harris-led group, which also includes fellow billionaire Mitchell Rales and former NBA star Earvin "Magic" Johnson, reached a tentative agreement to purchase the team for around $6 billion.
Penn football alumnus Justin Watson has reportedly signed a new, two-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. The deal will keep Watson under contract until 2025, and for the Chiefs, this ensures that they will return another important piece of their Super Bowl LVII-winning receiving core.
While many incoming students were getting their first taste of Penn’s campus during Quaker Days, men’s lacrosse escaped the throngs of high schoolers and traveled north to Cambridge, Mass. to face Harvard. Once there, the team loudly announced its presence with a 15-9 win over the Crimson, driven by a dominant second-half performance.
On Tuesday, the Big 5 announced some of the biggest changes to its signature men's basketball competition in its history. Firstly, it's name is no longer truthful; Drexel will now compete for a Big "5" championship alongside the five original members of Penn, La Salle, St. Joe's, Villanova, and Temple. But perhaps more substantially is the changing nature of the tournament.
Following the conclusion of the men's and women's basketball season, The Daily Pennsylvanian analyzed data for both Penn teams to find out what made this season stand out. Additionally, the DP looked at which statistics were most different in wins and losses to attempt to deduce both teams' keys to victory. To conduct this analysis, the DP used season-long and game-by-game data from Penn Athletics for the 2022-23 Penn basketball seasons.
Last season, Penn lost to Brown in the regular season at Franklin Field, before defeating the Bears in Providence, R.I., during the Ivy League Tournament. While there is still another month before the Ivy League Tournament, the first part of last year’s story repeated itself on Saturday, with Brown defeating Penn 12-11.
Following a loss to its rival in Princeton to end its Ivy League Tournament Championship hopes, Penn women’s basketball headed south to Virginia for the first round of the Women's National Invitation Tournament. But what greeted them once they arrived in Richmond was a strong Spiders squad which decimated the Quakers for all 40 minutes of a 75-52 win.
Last Friday, Penn women's basketball lost to Princeton in the semifinals of the Ivy League Tournament. While the loss finished Penn's Ivy season and ended its dreams of a spot in March Madness, the Quakers will still be playing postseason basketball.
"This is not a rivalry. They always kick our ass."
PRINCETON, N.J. — Last week, Penn men’s basketball came into Jadwin Gymnasium and put up one of its best halves of basketball all season before squandering a lead in the second half and falling to Princeton in overtime. On Saturday, the game was different, but the result was the same: the Tigers defeated the Quakers.
This year, Jordan Dingle put up one of the most impressive seasons in Penn history. And now, the junior guard from New York state is being rewarded with the honor of Ivy League Men's Basketball Player of the Year, the conference announced Tuesday. Furthermore, he was a unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection for the second straight year.
On a rainy Friday, most students were getting started on their spring break plans, en route to warmer climes. But inside the Palestra, Penn women’s basketball had unfinished business.
Every college sport has a goal that can be expressed in two or three words; it can be a place, a date, or something else entirely, but it stands as an eternal shorthand for success. Baseball has Omaha, football has New Year's Day, men's lacrosse has Memorial Day. In basketball, that key word is March. Penn's path to it is now clearer than ever.
