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.

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.

Updated May 10 5:35 p.m. Despite a win in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the Penn women's lacrosse team is not satisfied. Despite beating Fairfield, 10-8, at Drexel's Vidas Field, the No. 4 Quakers will look to improve on their first game of the extended season.

Wearing the Red and Blue jerseys for the final time Saturday, Penn's seniors played a game they won't soon forget. The Quakers got all but two of their goals from the graduating class and held off Army in the fourth quarter for an 11-10 victory. "We were absolutely all about going out and having fun today," senior goalkeeper Greg Murray said.

Brian Fulton's role on the Penn men's track team is to run races that span 800 meters. Fortunately for the freshman and his teammates, they won't have to travel much farther than that to get to this weekend's spring Heptagonals. The Quakers will participate in the spring Heptagonals - the equivalent of Ivy League Championships - Saturday and Sunday at Franklin Field.

Considering it hadn't lost at home in the regular season since 2006, the Penn women's lacrosse team was confident coming into their home matchup against No. 13 Stanford Saturday. Despite their sole regular season loss in 2008 at Stanford, the No. 3 Quakers were looking to blow out the No.

While the stands have cleared, the vendors have packed up and yet another Penn Relays has come to a close, the season for Penn women's track and field is far from over. The Quakers will host the Heptagonal Championships, the equivalent of Ivy League Championships, at Franklin Field May 9 and 10.

The seeds are out, the tournament is about to start, and it looks like Penn dodged a bullet while still not grabbing the golden apple. Last night the NCAA announced the bracket for the 2009 Women's Lacrosse Tournament, and the Quakers (13-2, 7-0 Ivy) received the fourth seed.

The men's lightweight crew team closed out its regular season in dominating fashion Saturday morning, cruising through its final regular-season meet against MIT and Saint Joseph's on the Schuylkill River. The victory - which was the Quakers' first of the season - featured sub-six minute times from all three boats in the varsity 8 and served as a definite morale booster heading into postseason competition.

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.

With a fourth seed in the NCAA tournament, the Penn women's lacrosse team is starting their season anew. The Quakers (13-2, 7-0 Ivy) dropped their last two regular season games to No. 1 Northwestern and then No. 13 Stanford, tarnishing their undefeated record.

Sunday, Penn's heavyweight rowing team hopes to steer past April's troubles and glide to Ivy victory at the Eastern Sprints Championship. Held annually at Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass., the Sprints include the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges teams, which is comprised of the Ivies plus some other schools such as Navy, Northeastern and MIT.

Evanston, Ill., April 26 - As the Penn women's lacrosse team has risen to national prominence over the last three seasons, only one team has stood in its path. Northwestern has overshadowed the Quakers' rise with its own dominant, run as four-time national champion.

For the second-straight week, the women's lacrosse team has been foiled by an old foe. A week after No. 1 Northwestern defeated the Quakers, 11-9, No. 3 Penn lost to No. 13 Stanford, 8-6. Since 2006 the Quakers are undefeated against all teams not named Stanford or Northwestern, as the Wildcats and Cardinal gave Penn its two losses last year.
