You probably haven't heard of Megan Cassidy or Kelly McCarthy. Then again, you probably haven't heard of many players on the women's soccer team. That's because coach Darren Ambrose carries 29 players on his roster, even though only 11 can be on the field at once.

It's been a very busy week for Penn's medical staff. The Quakers' misfortunes last Saturday against Brown extended far beyond dropping their first Ivy League game of the season. As the fourth quarter came to a close, several important members of the team watched from the sidelines on crutches.

Chances are you've done it before. You take your seat and scan the room to size up the competition - the annoying girl in the front row, the seemingly clueless guy who says nothing all semester but invariably aces the test - until your eyes stop on the mass of muscle in the back, decked out in his team-issued hoodie and athletic pants.

Penn and Brown showed their true colors on Saturday night at Rhodes Field: red and yellow. The teams amassed a total of 33 fouls - 18 by the Bears, 15 by the Quakers - and racked up seven yellow cards and one red. The Bears took all four of their yellow cards in the first half, including two from midfielder Darren Howerton in the first twenty minutes.

When students walk into Nathanael Ackerman's Math 104 and Math 170 classes, they expect to be lectured by an expert on derivatives, logarithms and complex numbers. What they may not know, though, is that their professor is equally proficient in takedowns, half-nelsons and arm drags.

The reaction was the same everywhere. From the bleachers, the Brown sideline and the press box, everyone in attendance at Penn's 34-27 loss to Brown on Saturday had just one question. Who's playing quarterback? The answer was No. 13, Keiffer Garton, a sophomore from Castle Rock, Co.

Sitting in his Quad single one day last spring, Brian Mascarenhas was bored. So the soccer midfielder started drawing in Microsoft Paint and came up with a logo he really liked. A few months later, that design became the icon for Elev8ted Basiks, a startup clothing company "I had never really done any graphic art before," he said.

Cornell quarterback Nathan Ford became the topic of conversation at the biggest watercooler in America. The senior signal caller got a shout-out on last Thursday's episode of The Office on NBC, courtesy of everyone's favorite intensely nerdy paper salesman, Dwight Schrute.

The one bit of significant news from a conference call featuring all eight Ivy League hoops coaches was the revelation by Columbia's Joe Jones that transfer Brian Grimes had injured his knee five minutes into the team's first practice and will miss the upcoming season.

Quarterback Kyle Olson is officially done for the season. The team confirmed that Olson tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the second quarter of Saturday's 34-27 loss to Brown. That game was Olson's first start of the season after battling with senior Rob Irvin for the top job since training camp.

It was a frightful Halloween for the Penn women's and men's cross country teams. The Quakers fell short at the Ivy League Heptagonals on Friday in Van Cortlandt Park in New York, as the men finished in eighth place with 193 points, while the women came in sixth with 179 points.

On a day when a young, costumed Quakers fan was booed for donning the garb of Donovan McNabb as part of an Abner's Cheesesteak Giveaway, it was the ghost of another popular Philly punching bag that may have done in the Quakers. "These guys are good receivers, but I think a lot of us came into this game thinking they were Terrell Owens," All-Ivy Penn corner Chris Wynn said.

For five years, the men's soccer team had been humiliated time and time again by Brown, going winless while failing to score in the process. But at Rhodes Field on Saturday, the Quakers returned the favor. Led by two goals from Omid Shokoufandeh, the Quakers beat the Bears, 4-0, in an unexpectedly one-sided affair that propelled them into a tie for first place.

With its Ivy League title chances on the line on Senior Night, the women's soccer team had plenty of motivation in Saturday's matchup against Brown. But as Bears senior Lindsay Cunningham's third game-winning goal of the season soared into the far corner 5:54 into the first overtime, several Quakers could do nothing but sink to the Rhodes Field turf or hang their heads in dismay.

The phrase "adding insult to injury" was never more appropriate. After seeing its quarterback go down with what could be a season-ending knee injury, Penn saw its Ivy title hopes follow suit - the Quakers fell 34-27 at Franklin Field to Brown, which now has sole possession of first place in the conference.

With the decisive fifth set deadlocked at 14, Penn libero Madison Wojchiechowski watched Cornell's hottest hitter, Meagan Tatum, reach high and deliver a hard strike across the court. "Mojo," as her teammates call her, dove to her left, extended her arms just within reach of the ball and popped Tatum's swing straight up for her 40th dig of the match, setting a new school record.
