Women's Softball vs Lafayette

Contrary to the sport’s name, Penn softball balled awfully hard this weekend. The Red and Blue took three out of four games in a home-and-home matchup with Columbia this weekend, which — coupled with a pair of losses by Princeton — clinched the Ivy League South Division title for the Quakers. Having wrapped up the division, Penn will now square off with Dartmouth in the Ivy League Championship Series for the third consecutive season. The Red and Blue's weekend started Saturday afternoon when they squared off with the Lions in the Big Apple.


Penn baseball knew it would be in for its greatest test of the season this weekend against an evenly matched opponent in Columbia. The Quakers  took the field on Saturday tied for first place in the Ivy League's Lou Gehrig Division hoping to clinch the title by winning at least three out of the four games.

For Penn women's lacrosse, Sunday was a day of lasts. The home game against Cornell was the last time that the Class of 2015 would step onto Franklin Field in the Red and Blue during the regular season, and the win was earned in last-minute fashion thanks to some late game heroics. In what was a great statement game, the Quakers (12-3, 6-1 Ivy) were able to fend off the Big Red (9-6, 4-3) and cap off their regular season with a 10-9 win. After letting up two quick goals from Cornell, the Quakers went on a 5-1 run and carried a comfortable 6-3 lead.

The cost of any potentially offensive joke can be redeemed if they’re clever enough — so much so that the audience recognizes the intention and structure is to be funny, and not that its choice of topic matter is inherently funny. In the case of Trevor Noah, he comes off as reckless.




A few hours after the weekend ended and our tired bodies were flinged/flang/flung out, curious friends pelted us with the same question: "What’s Fling like for MERT?" Our answer to this question is always the same: "organized chaos." But also, as far as our positions are concerned, "you have no idea." It’s no rumor that Fling weekend is MERT’s busiest.

While some may follow Penn’s lead and assume that since both contain the word “Africa” they must be similar enough to simply be merged into one, this thinking is unfounded and wrong. This oversimplified reasoning serves as yet another example of the suppression and the overgeneralization of black voices in the world, and within our own University.

Brown softball coach Katie Flynn has been accused of bullying players, leading to poor player retention, according to the Brown Daily Herald. The Daily Herald spoke with multiple players who said that Flynn had made remarks about players' weights and appearances, including a particularly disparaging quote about one player whose parents were hosting the team on the west coast. “She lives a block away from an ice cream shop?


When we allow ourselves the time to invest in relationships and feel wholly connected to each other, we can fill ourselves with a renewed energy built of the passions of our peers.
