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.

Freshman Abby Hong put up a strong performance on distance night for Penn.

The Penn Relays have a way of sneaking up on the Penn community as a whole, and this year was no different. Tucked between Spring Fling and final exams, it’s understandable; this is an especially busy time of year for students on campus.




There’s a saying that good things come in threes. At least, that’s what Penn women’s lacrosse would like to believe, as it continues on the path towards its third consecutive Ivy League Tournament title. As the 18th-ranked Quakers (11-3, 5-1 Ivy) welcome No. 24 Cornell to Franklin Field for Sunday’s final regular season contest, they hope to prevail in what will be the first of two consecutive matches between the teams.



Heavyweight Rowing

As the men’s heavyweight rowing team approaches the end of their season, the Red and Blue will be working to collect a pair of wins this weekend at the Adams Cup in Annapolis, MD.  Facing off against Harvard and Navy throughout the event, the heavyweights must maintain their dominant form exhibited last weekend in their convincing performance at the Blackwell Cup.



To paraphrase the famous hardball philosopher Yogi Berra, it’s deja vu all over again. For the second time in as many years, Penn baseball enters the final weekend of the regular season tied with Columbia atop the Ivy League’s Lou Gehrig Division. And for the second consecutive year, the Quakers (20-12, 14-2 Ivy) will face off with their foes from the Big Apple in a winner-take-all, four game series.





2012 Penn Relays

Jake Brenza is no stranger to the Penn Relays, but he’ll be seeing the meet from a different perspective this year. Brenza, who graduated from Penn last spring after throwing for Penn for four seasons, has remained at his alma mater this year as a volunteer assistant coach. “It’s something I love to do,” Brenza said of his desire to remain a part of the team.
