What was the highlight of coach Colleen Fink’s 2012 season?
All the numbers seemed to finally go Penn’s way last season. A 3-0 start. First winning record since 2006. Most goals scored in a season since 2003.
Sports Editor Ian Wenik: I came out of Monday’s media frenzy impressed with the direction that Penn’s defense is going in. I talked to a lot of Penn’s starting defensive backs (Dan Wilk, Mike Laning, Kevin Ijoma), who are dealing with a bit of transition with Dave Wood taking over the primary defensive backs coaching job and coordinator Ray Priore focusing in on the cornerbacks.

After senior quarterback Billy Ragone threw for five interceptions in last year’s season-opening loss at Lafayette, I wrote that the sky wouldn’t fall if Penn football coach Al Bagnoli were to stick with Ragone as his starting signal-caller.
Sports Editor Steven Tydings: I think we can expect a campaign similar to last season. With Billy Ragone working his way back from an ankle injury and the defense adjusting to life without Brandon Copeland, it looks like the team may be looking at a slow start in 2013 like the 1-3 start to the Quakers’ 2012 season.
2013 women’s soccer senior captain and 2012 first-team All-Ivy selection Kerry Scalora gives us the inside scoop on her iPod preferences, post-graduation plans and more.
