Columbia stuns M.Hoops, 54-53

(02/02/02 10:00am)

The Penn men's basketball team hit another roadblock Saturday night in their quest for an Ivy League title. Cornell's Joe Case hit two free throws with 3.1 seconds to play, and Ugonna Onyekwe's desperations shot at the buzzer rimmed out as the Lions stunned the 3,867 at the Palestra with a 54-53 upset of the Quakers. The Quakers (15-5, 2-2 Ivy League) led, 28-25, at the half and quickly stretched their lead to 36-28 four minutes into the second half. But the Lions (10-10, 2-2 Ivy League) went on a 15-2 run to grab a 43-38 advantage with just over 10 minutes to play in the game. Onyekwe led the Quakers with 17 points on 7 of 13 shooting. Junior forward Koko Archibong added 12, and Andrew Toole had 9 points and six assists for the Quakers. Forward Craig Austin led the Lions with 14 points and six rebounds. The Quakers were outrebounded, 14-9, in the second half and 26-22 overall, and they were outscored, 24-14, in the paint. Penn had stretches where they went over five minutes without a field goal in the first half and over seven minutes without a one in the second, and only got four points from its bench. The Red and Blue's final chance to win the game came after Case's two free throws. Sophomore guard Jeff Schiffner inbounded it downcourt to Onyekwe, who took a dribble and fired off a long jumper which just missed.

Sports Brief: 19 Sprint players make All-CSFL list

(12/05/01 10:00am)

Although the Penn sprint football team was not able to defend its CSFL title this year, it can take some solace in the fact that 19 of its players were named to the All-CSFL teams. Leading the first-team selections was junior Mark Gannon, who rushed for a CSFL best 766 yards this season. Joining him on the first team was sophomore quarterback Jimmer Donapel, who led the Quakers with 113.2 QB rating. "To be honest, I'm really surprised that I was selected," Donapel said. "There's a lot of talented quarterbacks in this league, and I'm honored that the coaches consider me at their level." Also on the offensive first-team were Penn senior offensive lineman Brian Dubin and David Berkley and junior wide receiver Jeff Bagnoli. The wideout led the Quakers with 245 yards receiving. On the other side of the ball, lineman John Pinto earned his second consecutive first-team selection. Safety Diego Morales and linebacker Chris Malachowski rounded out the Red and Blue's first-team selections. The Quakers placed two on the second team - wide receiver Tim Murphy and defensive lineman Stephen Willard. Penn finished 4-2 this season, good enough for second place in the CSFL.
