This weekend, the Penn men's and women's golf get one last shot before the snow hits, and a victory would help the Quakers get through a cold winter. Penn's men host the Big 5 Invitational tomorrow and Sunday, while the ladies head to Rutgers for the final match of the fall season.


The coaching carousel fueled by Fran Dunphy's departure to Temple has finally come to a stop. New Brown coach Craig Robinson filled out his coaching staff by hiring Jesse Agel and former Bears guard Douglas Stewart as assistants. Agel, a 1984 Vermont graduate, was an associate coach for the Catamounts under Tom Brennan for eight years and an assistant for 17 in total.

Every year, the Penn Relays attract over 15,000 athletes and 100,000 fans to Franklin Field for one of the country's greatest amateur athletic events. For Frank Dolson, a longtime Philadelphia sportswriter who passed away last weekend at age 73, there was little better in the world than the Penn Relays.

The Latest

Tonight, the Princeton high-school football team will be away at Ewing, and the Hun School travels to Blair Academy.

Brown (1-3, 0-1 Ivy) at (24) Princeton (4-0, 1-0) In the first Friday night game in Ivy League history, the Tigers put their undefeated record on the line against the defending conference champions.

When the 1998 Winter Olympics were held in Nagano, Japan, they brought with them a curious sport that quickly caught on as a fad in the United States.

Tigers still perfect after N.Y. shootout

If you thought the Patriot League was too good to lose more than one game to the Ivy League this weekend, you would have been right - were it not for Tom Methvin. The Princeton defensive end stuffed Colgate quarterback Mike Saraceno just outside the end zone to deny the Raiders the two-point conversion on the game's final play on Saturday as the Ivy League continued its dominance in matchups between the two conferences this year.

Phillies fans may have wanted to miss the baseball team's most recent late-season collapse, but if you live in a college house, it is not like you had a choice. Comcast SportsNet, the premier network for all things Philadelphia sports, is currently not offered to anyone living in a college house at Penn.


Quakers put in six in just 71 minutes

It was not soccer. Coach Darren Ambrose called it "survival." Fans said that it was more like watching water polo with feet. No matter how you look at it, it was one wild night for the Penn women's soccer team. Despite playing through a mini-monsoon, the drenched Quakers were all smiles after dominating Robert Morris, 6-0, last night at Rhodes Field.

The similarities are striking: Last year, a 6-2-2 women's soccer team lost 1-0 to Columbia and was unable to recover, winning just one of its final five games. Today, four days after playing some of their worst soccer of the season, the Quakers are looking to rebound from another 1-0 defeat by the Lions and avoid a repeat of last year's failures down the stretch.


M. Soccer riding four-game unbeaten streak

Following a nail-biting double-overtime victory against Columbia and on the heels of a No. 3 ranking in the Northeast Division by the NSCAA, the men's soccer team is riding high. It's been four years since the Quakers (7-2-1, 3-0 Ivy) and Scarlet Knights (7-6, 4-4 Big East) last met.


The Daily Pennsylvanian

With a win over Dartmouth already under its belt, the Penn football team looks to go 2-0 in Ivy League play when it takes on Columbia. There's a good chance that a sentence like that will appear in the football preview found in Friday's Daily Pennsylvanian.

Smooth Sailing

By Eric Karlan · Oct. 11, 2006

When Division I-AA Montana State recently upended a mediocre Division I-A Colorado football team, the result was considered a monumental upset. So imagine a sport in which top varsity teams are consistently threatened - and often beaten - by a club-level squad.

New men's basketball coach Glen Miller has yet to run an official practice, but the first-year coach has already landed his first two recruits for the Class of 2011. First, point guard Harrison Gaines committed to the Quakers last week. Gaines is 6-foot-1, 175 pounds and plays for Serrano High School in Phelan, Calif.


Quakers offense has some T.O. problems of its own

It's rare that a victory is a wake-up call, but that's exactly what happened to the football team when it narrowly escaped losing to perennial Ivy pushover Dartmouth two weeks ago. But after closing out its non-conference schedule with a decisive win against Bucknell on Saturday, it was clear that Penn had responded.


The Daily Pennsylvanian

The spotlight was on Maria Anisimova yesterday as she defeated a player from North Carolina in the finals of the Flight C singles match at the National Tennis Invitational in New York. The freshman came out of nowhere, defeating players from high-level programs and advancing further than any Penn player.


Valuable win came in spite of shaky finishing

It's safe to say that Sunday's win didn't go the way men's soccer coach Rudy Fuller had planned. Penn generally likes to nip a goal early and hold off its opponent's charge late on. In fact, the Quakers haven't trailed for a second in any of their wins. Quality finishing has been a means to that end as Penn's forwards have generally been more opportunistic than their counterparts.


Bowling 'em over

'Do you bat, or bowl?" The question catches me off-guard. I don't do either, and certainly not nearly as well as these guys do.


Josh Hirsch: One year later, the memories still remain

It was about two in the morning 365 days ago after another long night as a DP sports editor. I was about ready to leave the office when I got an interesting phone call from another editor. He told me that he had heard from a friend of his that his football-player roommate was abruptly summoned somewhere, and the roommate returned in tears.


Quakers' front seven spoiled QB's debut

LEWISBURG, Pa.- Marcello Trigg took the snap early in the second quarter likely already thinking he could have picked a better week for his first college start. The Bucknell quarterback rolled left and looked for a receiver, but all he saw was Penn linebacker Joe Anastasio, who one quarter earlier had laid out Trigg just as he delivered a pass.
