PRINCETON, N.J. - When the dust had settled at Princeton Stadium on Saturday, the Quakers had earned themselves yet another overtime loss. Understandably, nobody on the Penn side was lining up afterwards to discuss the positives of the game - after a loss like that, there certainly wouldn't seem to be any.

It took 99 years, but the rivalry between Harvard, Yale and Princeton came out of the classroom and onto the football field. The H-Y-P trifecta, mainstays at the top of the U.S. News & World Report's academic rankings, were all 7-1 at weekend's end, marking the first time this has happened in almost a century.

PRINCETON, N.J. - Any weaknesses the Penn men's soccer team showed on Saturday were briefly forgotten when Kevin Unger's overtime winner rippled the net. But only a few minutes later, coach Rudy Fuller knew his team needed to improve, even in spite of its dramatic victory.

When kicker Peter Stine took the field for a 23-yard field goal attempt against Princeton in the first quarter, the stage was set for the sprint football call-up to be the hero. Coach Al Bagnoli hoped that the senior would bring the Quakers out of their kicking slump, but when the ball hit the right post, it was clear that Penn's kicking woes could not be solved so easily.

The Penn sprint football team ended its season on a high note, especially for senior quarterback Mike Loguidice. The team ended its season with a second win over Princeton 35-12 at Franklin Field, as Loguidice became the all-time passing quarterback in Penn history.

Penn men's swimming coach Mark Schnur had his first real look at his loaded freshman class, and he was impressed. The Quakers (0-1) made the long trip up to Boston to take on the defending conference co-champions Harvard (1-0) for their opening meet of the season.

PRINCETON, N.J. When Matt Reinert's desperate dash to the end zone in the second overtime period on Saturday fell just a couple yards short, the game-ending whistle also marked the end of the Quakers' slim - but until then still existent - hopes of an Ivy League title.

As the sun went down on Princeton, N.J., so it did on the collegiate soccer careers of Tracy Bienenfeld and Megan Boys. The Penn defenders laced their cleats for the last time on Saturday in a 2-0 loss to Princeton. Freshman goalie Sara Rose yielded a pair of unassisted goals to Princeton's Lauren Thomas in the game's only scores.

Not even the surging Quakers could take the Tigers, although they came very close. A late push from Penn (9-8, 4-3 Ivy) forced overtime, but Princeton (10-6, 7-0 Ivy) barely survived to win, 2-1, and finish undefeated in Ivy League play. With just 20 seconds left in regulation, the game appeared to be over.

The Quakers were eliminated from the title race in their third overtime loss in a row - and to arch-rival Princeton, no less.

Former Penn guard Eric Osmundson was selected with the 118th overall pick in the NBA Development League draft last Thursday. Osmundson was selected in the 10th and final round by the Colorado 14ers, making him the third-to-last player selected. The D-League, formerly branded as the NBDL, is in its sixth season and serves as a farm system for NBA teams.

It might only be one meet into its 2006-07 season, but the Penn women's swimming team already has a new school record. In a 198-100 loss to Harvard Saturday, freshman Sara Coenen broke Megan Daney's 2003 record of 2:03.72 in the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 2:01.

The Penn basketball season does not officially start until Friday, when the men participate in the BCA Invitational, but for the hundreds of students who lined up in the Palestra this weekend, the season is already under way. "The Line," the annual Red and Blue tradition in which basketball fans claim their season tickets, kicked off the basketball year with a weekend of festivities.

PRINCETON, N.J. - Before sophomore Alex Grendi could get back on his feet, his classmate Kevin Unger had done it again. In a bizarre ending to the Penn men's soccer team's regular season at Princeton on Saturday, Unger netted his second golden goal of the season, propelling the Quakers (9-4-2, 5-1-1 Ivy) to a 1-0 win in overtime.

The Quakers have landed their fourth recruit in what is a rapidly growing Class of 2011. Jack Eggleston, a 6-foot-8 forward, has verbally committed to Glen Miller's program, according to The Miami Herald. Eggleston, out of St. Thomas Aquinas in South Florida, averaged 8.

In the final home matches of their career, the seniors had a bittersweet weekend with a gutty win and a disappointing loss. The Penn volleyball team faced two of its Ivy foes, beating Brown 3-2 in a thrilling five game match but losing to Yale 3-0 the next day in a sweep.

The Penn swimming teams will have no chance to ease into the water as they each open their seasons tomorrow against Ivy League swimming powerhouse Harvard. Unlike last year, when both teams opened their seasons with two home meets against non-conference opponents before diving into the Ivy League schedules, they will face an immediate tough test on the road against highly talented Crimson teams.
