Penn men’s basketball entered its Friday matchup against Brown desperate to get its season back on track after dropping three straight Ivy League games. Despite this streak of losses, the Quakers still entered the weekend tied for fourth in the Ivy League, with four other teams knotted at 1-3. And yet, it was more of the same for the crestfallen Quakers.
Major shockwaves reverberated through the college football world when legendary Alabama head coach Nick Saban announced his retirement after a 17-year period of dominance over the sport in which the Crimson Tide won six national championships. Following Saban’s decision to retire, current Alabama players have a 30-day window to potentially transfer to another institution to continue their college careers. Though transferring was made more difficult due to the timing of Saban’s decision, which was at the start of classes for most universities, many players still opted to enter the portal. Among those players was true freshman quarterback Julian Sayin, the younger brother of Penn’s star signal-caller Aidan Sayin.
Last November, 7-2 Penn football made the 45-minute trek north to face its bitter rivals, 8-1 Princeton, as 14.5-point underdogs. The Red and Blue had just suffered a sizable defeat to Harvard at home, all but ending their Ivy League Title hopes. Princeton, on the other hand, was seeking to capture its third Ancient Eight crown in four seasons. Despite the spread and pregame predictions, Penn proved to be no pushover, playing for its pride as the team marched 72 yards down the field to score a game-winning touchdown. Although the Quakers themselves could not secure a piece of the Ivy Title, as Yale defeated Harvard the same day, they found their joy in preventing their archenemy from having one, too.
In Friday's semifinals of the Ivy League's inaugural field hockey postseason tournament, the Quakers suffered a 1-0 loss to No. 9 Harvard in Cambridge, Mass. The loss marked the conclusion of Penn's 2023 season, which saw them go 7-10 overall, and 5-2 against Ivy League opponents.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — On a gray afternoon in Connecticut, with trees turning a variety of colors in the background and a crisp fall breeze blowing, it was peak football weather. For Penn football, the scene was completed with a win on Saturday, as the team outlasted Yale to win 27-17.

For many Penn teams, there is less than a month to go in the regular season before the Ivy League Championships.

Coming off an impressive 37-21 victory against Bucknell on Saturday, Penn football (2-0) will head back to Franklin Field for its home opener against Dartmouth (1-1) — marking the beginning of Ivy League play for the Quakers as well.
Coming off a disappointing home loss to Harvard the week prior, Penn football headed to New Jersey to face an 8-1 Princeton team as a 14-point road underdog. From the jump, the game played out like many experts predicted it would — Princeton drove 78 yards down the field to score a touchdown, forced a punt, and drove down another 80 yards to take an early two-score lead. Penn's offense couldn't muster much, but a blocked-punt touchdown made the score 12-7 going into halftime.
Over the weekend, Penn men’s swimming and diving competed in the Ivy League championships held at Brown. Though it was a less successful outing than some of the Quakers' previous performances, it was a solid weekend overall, as the team finished in sixth place with 879 total points.
Coming off a gritty 74-65 home victory against Columbia the day before, the Quakers (13-11, 5-4 Ivy), returned to the Palestra to face Cornell (15-7, 5-4). In a back-and-forth thriller, the Red and Blue bested the Big Red, 92-86, led by junior guard Jordan Dingle’s 27-point performance.

Penn enters its final game of the season as 14.5-point underdogs. Based on that spread, it'd be hard to have a ton of faith in the Quakers against Princeton. But the only other time they were double-digit underdogs this season, the Red and Blue marched into Dartmouth and took a statement win, so anything's possible.
