One year later, Chris Swanson is back for more.

A new era for Penn Athletics has arrived. And it feels really weird.

It looks like Penn baseball will have to wait a bit longer to settle the score with Lafayette.

Provost Vincent Price announced on Monday that M. Grace Calhoun, the current athletic director and assistant vice president at Loyola of Chicago, will be the next Penn director of recreation and intercollegiate athletics, effective July 1.

The university’s next athletic director will be introduced at a press conference at the Palestra at 1 p.m. Monday, preceded by a university-wide announcement at noon.

For the first time all season, the weather was reasonable enough for Penn softball to hold a home doubleheader.

The Quakers (5-10) turned their losing streak into a winning streak, picking up three of four games against Lafayette (6-10) in this weekend’s home and home series.

Last year, in the first ever meeting between Penn’s women lacrosse and Vanderbilt, the Quakers managed to eke out a one-point victory, 14-13, after the Commodores rallied back from an 11-6 deficit midway through the second half.The story was no different this time around, as the No.

There's no denying it: this loss hurts for Penn women's hoops. Badly.

In its home opener at Franklin Field, Penn hosted several local schools in the Philadelphia College Classic, taking full advantage of the day’s gorgeous 60 degree and sunny weather in the process.

The second half was all Longhorns as No. 12 Penn fell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, 79-61, despite 25 points from senior captain Alyssa Baron

The For the 24th consecutive time, the Quakers took down the Hoyas, led by former Penn coach Gordie Ernst, 4-3. The Quakers are now 30-1 all-time against Georgetown.

Far away from the comfort of the Sheerr Pool, Senior Shelby Fortin competed in three final events at the NCAA National Championship Meet in Minnesota, bringing to a close what has been a truly remarkable collegiate career.

No. 11 seed Lorenzo Thomas went 5-3 over a grueling three-day stretch at the NCAA Championships in Oklahoma City to finish sixth and become Penn’s first ever 184-pound All-American, the 27th overall.

For about 11 minutes, Penn men’s lacrosse was feeling it, on the verge of breaking an eight-year long losing streak to Cornell. Then reality set in.

Some games are decided by just talent; others, by coaching too. Georgetown tennis coach Gordie Ernst hopes his squad’s upcoming match with Penn is defined by the former.

After competing in their first 11 games on the road, Penn baseball will be in familiar territory this weekend. Penn’s Meiklejohn Stadium will get its first action of the season as the Quakers will host Lafayette in their home opener.
