This week's Ivy League slate includes three games that feature several compelling storylines. One of the two league powers of the decade meets a program looking for its first title in over a decade. A starting quarterback returns from a five-game suspension to find himself in the backup spot.


A rigorous stretch of seven games in 22 days is taking its toll on the Penn men's soccer team with the most important part of the schedule fast approaching. The last of those seven games is a pivotal clash tomorrow at Yale, and Penn will have to go at it with at least one of its defenders relegated to the sidelines by injury.

No shortage of surprises for Scott, Tigers

After a traumatic first two seasons in Old Nassau, Princeton basketball coach Joe Scottfinally seemed to get his program moving in the right direction. By the end of last year, his Tigers were 10-4 in the Ivy League after a horrific start. Now, as basketball teams around the nation begin practicing, it looks like the personnel woes that have beset the Tigers could continue.

Field Hockey: Quakers banish scoring blues vs. Retrievers

It appears that for Penn field hockey team, their recent scoring drought has turned into a deluge. After handing the University of Maryland Baltimore County a 3-0 loss yesterday afternoon, the Quakers (7-7, 2-2 Ivy) have scored 14 goals in their five games since the mid-season mark.

One team's captain and starting quarterback were suspended for various misconducts over the summer. During the season, a wide receiver was kicked off the team for apparently making fun of the school on team skit night. Another team has had its starting QB ruled academically ineligible, while yet another school's starting guard (of the basketball variety) was kicked out of school for academic reasons.


Field Hockey: Quakers have sights set on fourth-straight win

A tale of two teams will be on display tonight at UMBC Stadium. Storming through an impressive three-game win streak, the Penn field hockey team rolls into a non-conference bout with the slumping University of Maryland-Baltimore County. The formerly goal-starved Quakers (6-7, 2-2 Ivy) have been lighting up the scoreboard recently, scoring eight times in their past three contests.


Blocked field goals coming at key moments

Columbia boasts one of the better kickers of the Ivy League in Jon Rocholl. The sophomore, who doubles as the team's punter, had hit seven of eight attempts going into Saturday's game. This time, though, the Penn special teams unit was instrumental in preventing him from improving on that tally.

For the second time this year, the rain has forced the cancellation of a soccer game at Rhodes Field. A week ago, the men's soccer team saw its game against Rutgers washed out. Last night, it was the women's turn to take shelter as their match against Robert Morris was called due to rain.



Penn O-line crushed smaller Lions

As the cliche goes, football games are won and lost in the trenches. Just ask Columbia coach Norries Wilson, who attributed his team's loss in part to "not [being] strong enough physically." Wilson specifically credited junior nose tackle Naheem Harris for thwarting the Lions' running game during Penn's 16-0 win on Saturday.

At Saint Joseph's University, diehard basketball fans like to say that "the Hawk will never die." For one year though, the Hawk will be forced to flap its wings outside of Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse - and quite possibly in the Palestra. The 3,200-seat arena is slated to be part of a $25 million athletic facilities project that St.


Veteran halfback Sandberg emerges as aerial threat

Senior running back Joe Sandberg continued his solid season Saturday with 101 yards on 21 carries. The 4.8 yards per carry that Sandberg gained in Penn's 16-0 win over Columbia actually lowered his league-leading average from 6.0 to 5.7 yards per carry. Sandberg also ranks third in rushing yards in the Ivy League, behind Yale's Mike McLeod and Harvard's Clifton Dawson, and he has five touchdowns, also good for third, behind the same duo.


Football Notebook: Ivy teams manhandling Patriot counterparts

Aside from debate tournaments and quiz bowl competitions, it isn't often that the Ivy League thoroughly and consistently dominates its opponents. But this year members of the Patriot League found out the hard way that the Ancient Eight can excel in athletics also, as they lost the season football series 14-4.
