When Penn basketball met Dartmouth at the Palestra on Jan. 30, the Quakers picked up their first Ivy win of the season largely because they limited Big Green guard Alex Mitola to six points. On Saturday, the Red and Blue were nowhere near as lucky. In a game that featured 11 lead changes, Dartmouth rode 15 second-half points from Mitola and managed to surmount Penn's largest lead of the game with a clutch 17-6 run late in the contest, one that allowed the Big Green to pull away with a 67-62 win.

Penn men’s basketball started Friday with the announcement that junior captain and leading scorer Tony Hicks was been suspended for the weekend’s games against Harvard and Dartmouth. Matters only became worse from there. The Quakers suffered a 69-46 slaughter at the hands of the four-time defending champion Crimson at Lavietes Pavilion Friday night, as Harvard won its 7th straight contest and Penn coach Jerome Allen recorded his 100th loss at the helm of the program. Wesley Saunders led the way for the Crimson (18-5, 8-1 Ivy) with a game-high 15 points while shooting 77.8 percent from the field, and Steve Moundou-Missi added 14 points to go along with four offensive rebounds. Playing without Hicks, who averages 13.0 points per game, the Quakers (7-15, 2-6) committed just three turnovers in the first half and entered the intermission down, 31-24, in large part due to 14 early second-chance points for the Crimson. The Red and Blue managed to cut the lead down to 31-28 with 17:23 remaining in the second half, but after that point, the tide turned for good.

Well, this is getting pretty familiar. On a snowy Boston night at a sold-out Lavietes Pavillion, the Quakers were handed another humbling loss by Harvard, a 69-46 defeat that emphasized just how far Penn is from the Ancient Eight’s top tier. It was the fourth consecutive loss for the Quakers, with each defeat coming by at least 16 points.

Junior Carey Celata made the transition from the squash courts to the track this year and so far in the indoor track season, she has dropped blazing times in the mid-distance disciplines.

Some people fear knowing their limits. Carey Celata welcomes it. In her second season on the women’s track-and-field team and first since leaving the women’s squash program, the redshirt sophomore has had a wildly successful indoor season.

But, by the skin of their teeth, the Penn men’s squash team earned its second consecutive berth in the prestigious Potter Cup, set to take place over the weekend at Trinity’s Kellner Squash Center. The No. 8 Quakers (8-6, 3-4 Ivy) jumped up two spots from tenth in the CSA rankings over the weekend after defeating Cornell 8-1 at home, a crucial match that sealed Penn’s place in the Potter Cup.



Mens Hoops vs. Brown

Looking into the eyes of a four game road streak against a crew of Ivy foes, Penn men’s basketball — owner of the longest active losing streak in the Ivy League — is hoping a change of scenery will improve their fortunes. While a loss to Yale last weekend was not unexpected, a 75-48 point loss is always hard to chew and a defeat at the hands of cellar-dwelling Brown the next day didn’t ease the Quakers’ pain.

While every team has reason to miss its graduating class of athletes after a season ends, that loss can sometimes be less painful when countered by the promise of incoming new talent. And with the recruiting class that the program has pulled together, Penn men’s soccer has every reason to be smiling. Coach Rudy Fuller and his staff recently announced the Quakers’ group of recruits for Penn’s Class for 2019, and the eight men who will join the Quakers next fall represent one of the best classes the Red and Blue have put together in recent memory.



Mens Lacrosse vs UMBC

Don’t call it a comeback. But in the case of the men’s lacrosse team’s game at Saint Joseph’s last night, a comeback is exactly the right word to use. In the first two periods at Sweeney Field, the Quakers (2-0) allowed seven unanswered goals from the Hawks (1-2) before clawing back to win 11-10 in overtime.

Tuesday’s contest marks the second game of the Red and Blue’s season following their season opener against UMBC on Saturday.

However, after finishing Ivy League competition 7-0 and claiming the title for only the third time in school history, the team had high hopes for the College Squash Association National Championships in Boston this weekend. While facing Trinity again in the Howe Cup Semifinal on Saturday, the Red and Blue were unable to reverse their fortunes, falling 5-4 in heartbreaking fashion that was strangely reminiscent of their previous loss to the Bantams.
