The Penn men's lightweight rowing team has not been accustomed to a deep roster of rowers --- until this season. In 2008, the team only fielded two Varsity 8 boats and one Freshman boat. After graduating just two seniors from that season, however, the Quakers ballooned to include three Varsity and two Freshman boats.


Who else would it be? Yet again Penn is about to enter a key women's lacrosse game and standing directly in its path is Northwestern. Facing each other for the third-straight year on the final weekend of the postseason, the No. 4 seed Quakers (15-2) will play the No.

Mark Fabish is coming home. After graduating from Penn in 1997, the former receiver served coaching stints at Monmouth and Rhode Island. But now he's returning to 33rd Street, as he was officially named Penn's new tight ends coach Tuesday. "It has been a long-time goal of mine to get back to the University of Pennsylvania," Fabish said in a Penn Athletics press release.

The Latest

May 9 - Legendary college, professional and Olympic coach Chuck Daly, who steered Penn to four Ivy League and Big 5 titles in his six seasons at the helm, died Saturday after a bout with pancreatic cancer. He was 78. Though perhaps best known for directing the Detroit Pistons "Bad Boys" teams to back-to-back NBA championships in 1989 and 1990 and earning Olympic gold with the "Dream Team" at the 1992 Barcelona games, Daly will forever be remembered in West Philadelphia for his successes on the Palestra's vaunted hardwood.

In a sport where individual accomplishments determine a team's success, the parts don't always add up to the whole. That was the fate of the women's track and field team at last weekend's Heptagonal Championships, the equivalent of Ivy Championships. Despite numerous individuals earning personal bests and ECAC and Regional qualifications, the Quakers finished just seventh as a team with a total of 57 points at Franklin Field.

This just doesn't feel quite right. These senior columns are supposed to fit in with the whole graduation motif - you know, moving onto bigger and better things, reflecting on our time spent in the best damned windowless office on campus. It's our way of saying thanks to the paper, and the paper's way of thanking us.

Looking back on the 2008-09 Penn sports year, this wasn't exactly one to remember. Despite a strong start, things seemed to go downhill as the year progressed. In the fall, M. Soccer won the Ivy League, while Football, Field Hockey and Volleyball finished third.
