As Penn men’s and women’s squash look to soon begin the season, there is just one thought on their minds – improving.

In one of their last stops for the fall season, the heavyweight freshmen of Penn rowing will race this Saturday at the Rutgers Fall Classic Regatta.

With a satisfying victory on Senior Day in the rearview mirror, Penn field hockey will wrap up its 2014 campaign on Saturday when it heads to Princeton to take on its rival in the season finale.

Nothing motivates better then a rivalry, and for Penn swimming, an early season meet against Columbia has the Quakers primed to start the year off fast.

For a team two games under .500, Penn volleyball sure is enthusiastic. The Palestra was just as loud during Wednesday night’s practice as it has been all season, even after another head-scratching weekend for the Quakers.

With disappointment swirling around Penn football and its conference record, the squad has upset on its collective mind.

As Penn men’s soccer enters its matchup with Princeton on Saturday, it does so with its back against the wall. In what will be one of the team’s toughest contests yet, the Red and Blue looks to secure a victory and continue playing for a change at the Ivy League championship.

It’s hard to have a freshman season much better than Sydney Stipanovich did last year.

The view is different from the top. And it’s been quite a few years since Penn women’s basketball has had that view.

Last year, Penn’s women’s basketball proved it was the best time in the Ivy League. This year, the Red and Blue will put their skills to the test against some of the best teams in the entire country, facing a strong schedule fit for the defending Ivy champions.

Penn emerged victorious from last year’s Ivy scramble. Let’s take a look at how the league is shaping up as we enter the new season.

The Quakers’ four seniors – forwards Katy Allen and Kara Bonenberger along with guards Renee Busch and Kathleen Roche – have been named the captains for the 2014-15 season and plan on carrying the torch from last year’s successful group.

This season, the freshman class as a whole will be playing a big role from the opening tip on Nov. 14 in Tennessee.

After Penn football’s 21-13 loss to Brown on Saturday, coach Al Bagnoli was not about to make any excuses for the Quakers’ offensive performance. But curiously enough, Brown coach Phil Estes was.

Homecoming has the potential to be great for any school. A ton of alumni (read: possible donors) all in the same place, interacting with your campus and taking in the athletic events you have on tap. But when events unfold like they did for Penn Athletics on Saturday, it is hard to call this rain-soaked Homecoming great for the athletic department.

Seven games into the 2014 season, it's impossible to deny the sense of disappointment surrounding Penn football.
