For captain Emily Goodwin, Saturday's squash match against No. 3 Trinity was more than just a battle of top-ranked teams - the New York native's best friend from home, Chauncey Kerr, is the captain of the Bantams. Nevertheless, the history of the two captains contributed to a heated match, literally and figuratively, at Ringe Courts.

Then the freshman's bliss turned bittersweet when she realized that Navy's Mallory Dietrich had also beaten the record and taken first place. "Obviously I wanted to get the pool record," Klick said.

Phi Gamma Delta is returning to Penn for the first time this century. The fraternity, also known as Fiji or Phi Gam, had been an establishment at Penn since 1881. Fiji fraternity members surrendered the Penn chapter in 1999 following a fatal accident in which an alumnus fell several stories at the fraternity house after he had been drinking heavily.

Ira Glass has been labeled by Time Magazine as the "best radio host in America." And tomorrow night he will be making his Philadelphia debut at the Kimmel Center in Center City. Holding this event at the Kimmel Center will be a huge factor in accomplishing one of the Kimmel Center's missions: bringing renowned artists to perform in Philadelphia.


W. Squash | Bantams bring int'l flavor to Ringe

In a crucial Ivy faceoff two months ago, Tara Chawla and Kristen Lange took the court for the women's squash team against Yale needing to win both matches. They did just that, giving the Quakers a 5-4 comeback win over the Bulldogs in New Haven, Conn. The scene was eerily similar Wednesday night in Hartford, Conn.


M. Squash | An impossible task in Hartford

Calling the Trinity men's squash program "great" does not do it justice. It is arguably the best in collegiate sports history. The Bantams' 189-match win streak is the longest for any college team ever, and they consistently bring in the best recruits from all over the world.


Wrestling | Off to the other land of Lincoln

According to the Nebraska Corn Board, there are more than 3,500 different uses for the almost omnipresent vegetable. Ethanol, high-fructose corn syrup and starch are just some of the more prominent maize manifestations. The Penn wrestling team (6-4, 3-0 EIWA) hopes to add "redemption" to that list when it battles the No.


M. Tennis | Back from injury, Boym ready for Drexel

Senior captain Jonathan Boym has been waiting almost two years for this, the start of the 2009 spring tennis season. After sitting out most of his junior campaign with a shoulder injury, Boym can't wait to get back on the court. "I'm really excited," Boym said.

The first words that often come to mind upon hearing "West Philadelphia" are "underprivileged" and "dangerous." One professor is working to change those words to "rich in history." That was the goal when History professor Walter Licht started the West Philadelphia Community History Center virtual museum, a site that will hopefully gather the area's history in one central location.


W. Swimming | It's sayonara  for seniors at Sheerr

The seniors on the women's swimming team would love to leave Sheerr Pool for the final time with two more notches in the win column. But besting Navy and Rider tomorrow, after a Senior Day ceremony, will not be easy for Lauren Bergstrom, Lindsey Gottschalk, Nicole Malgeri, Amy Wolf and the rest of the Quakers.

Spring rush is a done deal for this year's sorority girls. Last night, a new class of recruits received their bids as part of a wild ceremony in Houston Hall's Hall of Flags. The ceremony marked the end of a week-long process of dances, tours and sorority parties, which College freshman Jamie Nichol described as "speed dating, only with girls.


M. Hoops | Down to one final chance

Since Penn's 2007 NCAA Tournament appearance, it has gone a woeful 0-for-Big 5 over two seasons. In the low point of their play in the informal conference, the Quakers were blown out, 82-42, by Saint Joseph's a year ago. It was an absolute debacle in every sense of the word.
