The NCAA announced the 2009 Women's Lacrosse Tournament bracket, and Penn received the No. 4 seed. The Quakers (13-2, 7-0 Ivy) will face unseeded Fairfield (17-2) Sunday at Franklin Field in the first round. The Quakers were predicted to get the No. 3, No.


After the final softball game of their Penn careers, seniors Emily Denstedt and Anna Puglisi expressed mixed feelings. According to Puglisi, the game was "fantastic, pretty much as good as it could've gone. It was a great comeback." Denstedt was more disappointed with her own performance.

This weekend's Ivy League Golf Championships were supposed to determine the best team in the conference this year. After a wild finish yesterday, they did anything but. Columbia edged Penn by a single stroke - the Lions shot 10-over par (291-283-284 - 858) compared to Penn's 11-over (285-286-288 - 859) - to capture its second-straight title at the Atlantic City Country Club in Northfield, N.

For the Penn women's track and field team, this year's Penn Relays were all about the record books. Having qualified for Friday's ECAC final with its best finish of the season Thursday, the 4x100-meter relay team topped that in the final with its time of 46:74.

For three quarters, it seemed like the seniors on the men's lacrosse team forgot yesterday's matchup against Towson was their last home game. But in the final 15 minutes, Penn's 10 seniors turned it on, leading the Quakers to a 5-0 fourth quarter and a 10-6 come-from-behind win over the Tigers.

Derek Vigoa stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth inning of Penn baseball's final game of the season. The home contest against Columbia was tied at 9 with two outs. On the mound for the Lions was Brian Valero, a teammate of Vigoa's last season at Christopher Columbus High School in Miami, Fla.

Putting the Penn in Penn Relays

It may have been easy for the Penn men's track and field team to get lost in the crowd at the Penn Relays this weekend, but Quakers' history was made. The Red and Blue started the Relays off with a bang Wednesday when senior Max Westman won the decathlon, a two-day event, with 6,842 points.

Royal Mitchell heard the gun go off. He drove out of the blocks to begin his 100-meter dash Friday at the Penn Relays. He just didn't know when to stop. A legally blind athlete competing in the Visually Impaired 100-meter dash, Mitchell had to rely on the crowd and the officials around the track to tell him to slow down after he crossed the finish line.

In an effort to boost the transparency of the men's basketball program, Penn Athletics hosted its first annual "town hall" meeting with coach Glen Miller yesterday at the Inn at Penn. In his opening remarks, athletic director Steve Bilsky said that the meeting had been planned since last summer as part of an effort to open up the team to its most loyal supporters - season-ticket holders, former players, parents and alumni - and was not a result of the team's 10-18 performance this season.

It's not without a reason that Hickey began his narrative of his career with girls' high school track tongue-in-cheek.
