Penn women’s basketball has not reached March Madness since 2017. If the Quakers wish to end the drought, they will have to overcome a number of difficult teams that stand in their way this season. The Red and Blue will have just the second game of their season be a tough Big Five matchup before hitting the road for nearly a month — with one other Big Five game at home thrown in the mix. They will return home briefly before hitting the road again and beginning the gauntlet of Ivy League play. The Quakers cap their season with their perennial foe, Princeton, who eliminated them from Ivy Madness in the semifinals last season. Here are five of the biggest games to watch out for as the Quakers chase the Ivy League Championship.

Simon Kushkov made an impression as soon as he stepped on campus in the fall. The freshman won at the Temple Open in October, his first collegiate competition. In the finals, he defeated Columbia’s Colby Harley, who was then ranked the No. 1 junior fencer in the U.S. For the freshman sabrist, the Temple Open was a preview of what was to come. In the regular season, he posted a team-high 55 wins, for a .611 winning percentage, while fencing in 30 of 33 matches. He won all three bouts in nine matches, including in both of Penn's matches against Ohio State, who finished the season fifth nationally, and once against Columbia, who finished fourth.
Penn Relays is arguably Penn’s biggest sporting event.

Cho finished sixth and was named a second-team All-American after winning 15 bouts, while Proestakis added another 10 to secure fifteenth place.
