On March 21, Penn men’s tennis was prepared for matches against Temple and the joint team of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps.

Yankees legend Yogi Berra once said his sport was "90 percent mental, and the other half is physical." While the statement now draws its notoriety from its mathematical absurdity, its message still rings clear, even if the reasoning is not quite sound.

Hoping to snap a five match losing streak, Penn men’s tennis faced off against St. John’s at home on Wednesday in before wrapping its Ancient Eight slate this coming weekend. However, in a tough ending to the nonconference season, the Quakers were unable to notch a win against the Red Storm (10-8), falling by a score of 5-2 for the third consecutive match. While it hoped to develop momentum from the match’s outset, Penn (14-9) lost the doubles point early by dropping two of its three matches by identical 8-4 margings.

It’s all hands on deck for Penn rowing this weekend.

Two weeks ago, Penn men’s lacrosse had its collective back against the wall. Off to a 0-3 conference start, the Quakers knew they’d have to win out to have any hope of an Ivy League Tournament appearance.

The Quakers may have won three out of four games against a color but the Dragons were an entirely different beast. After taking three of four games from Cornell last weekend, the Red and Blue were dropped by their hometown rival Drexel, 8-0, in a nonconference matchup at Drexel Field. The score told the whole story in Wednesday’s West Philadelphia matinee.

Two teams. Two undefeated records. One winner. These were the stakes for Penn in their most highly anticipated game of the season against Princeton in Franklin Field on Wednesday Night.

I sat down to speak with coach Steve Donahue and asked him some questions that people submitted from Twitter.

Every April, the country’s best club tennis teams flock to the USTA Tennis On Campus National Championship. Since the first National Championship in 2000, Penn has qualified for the big dance every year.

Each year, the start of spring heralds the most glorious time of the year—great weather, fun times as school winds down and, of course, baseball season. While the Philadelphia Phillies may have 154 games remaining in their regular season, Penn baseball is nearing the peak of Ivy League play with only two series remaining against Princeton and Columbia, respectively.

The stakes are rising for Penn women’s lacrosse. Winners of eight consecutive Ivy League regular season titles, the resilient Quakers will face Princeton on Wednesday in a battle of Ivy League unbeatens, one that will likely determine the host of next month's Ivy League Tournament.

As Penn men's lacrosse prepares for a do-or-die matchup with Dartmouth, its team captain has earned a place in a race for some prestigious individual recognition. The Senior CLASS (Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School) Award, given annually, recognizes those who best live up to both parts of student-athlete title. Matt McMahon, a key cog in the Red and Blue defense since 2012, was named as one of 10 finalists for the award last week.

There aren’t any rain delays in rugby. Last Tuesday night, under the train trestle at Penn Park, Penn men’s club rugby proceeded with practice despite an uncomfortable drizzle and blistering winds.

A lot of things don’t live up to the hype.

The first team captain in the Ray Priore era of Penn football may not have the speed or stature of a typical Division I athlete, but that doesn’t matter. He’s got enough heart and toughness for someone 10 times his size.

In the midst of a rocky season, Penn men’s tennis has not been able to catch a break. The Quakers dropped conference face-offs to No.

The first one is always the hardest. Following a rough beginning to the Ivy League season, Penn women’s tennis carved out its first win in Ancient Eight play over the weekend.
