Mark your calendars: Saturday, Sept. 30, 2017. We don't know who'll be president; it won't be George Bush or whoever succeeds him, even if that person gets two terms. But we do know that Penn will open its Ivy League football schedule hosting Dartmouth that day.

After three weeks of Ivy League football, the dust has begun to settle a little. The standings have become more orderly, and already there is some separation between the good teams and the not-so-good teams. The first intra-league games seemed to validate the non-conference records, especially with the luck of three teams with .

During warm-ups, the Penn volleyball team was all smiles and visibly loose heading into its match against La Salle. As it turned out, the Explorers couldn't wipe the smile off their opponent's faces, as Penn cruised to a 3-0 win last night at the Palestra.

The Ivy League-leading wide receiver from Week 1 may not be back in Penn's lineup for Saturday's game at Bucknell as originally expected. Penn wideout Dan Coleman sat out the Dartmouth game with a moderate ankle sprain, but afterward, head coach Al Bagnoli said he believed the junior would be ready to play the following week.

Molly Weir's goals were all the Quakers needed in a dominating 3-0 win against Lafayette last night at Rhodes Field.

Sometimes teams win games they deserve to lose. Sometimes teams lose games they deserve to win. When both teams deserve to win, they're lucky to tie. Last night the Penn men's soccer team faced Seton Hall at Rhodes Field, the first of two Big East opponents.

Considering what has happened in the last several weeks, the men's soccer team now has little reason to be intimidated by a big-conference opponent. The Quakers take on Seton Hall, the first of two Big East opponents, tonight at Rhodes Field. The game kicks off at 5 p.

Fourth-string quarterback Richard Irvin was all set to start under center for Harvard this weekend. After starter Liam O'Hagan was suspended for misconduct and backups Chris Pizzotti and Jeff Witt went down with injuries, the Crimson was in a tough spot. But after all the drama, Pizzotti recovered more than a week before expected, and led the Crimson to victory.

When Penn was storming through the first half of its season last year, its run defense turned heads around the nation by consistently ranking as one of the best in I-AA football. That front seven was among the more inexperienced units on the 2005 Quakers squad, and they returned this year as a relatively sure thing on a team with no shortage of question marks.

There's a game at the Class of 1923 Ice Rink this Friday night, but the players lacing up their skates aren't varsity athletes.

Coach Mick Statham will pace the Rhodes Field sidelines once again this evening. But this time the former Penn women's soccer assistant will be leading Lafayette against the Quakers. Statham assisted head coach Darren Ambrose at Penn in 2004, helping the team to a 9-6-2 record.

Freshman Jess Rothenheber always knows where her roommate is. On Saturday, Rothenheber saw Jessica Fuccello cut between two defenders and pass her the ball, which Rothenheber converted for the game's only goal in the women's soccer team's 1-0 victory over Cornell.

When the Penn men's tennis team stepped on to the court Friday to participate in the ECAC Tournament, it knew that it had a target on its back. The Quakers won the tournament last year in impressive fashion and were looking to repeat. And Penn handled the added pressure well.

The team that senior Melina Tsui called "the best it's ever been" couldn't have seen this loss coming. Faced with a winnable game, the Quakers crumbled in Hanover, N.H., to Dartmouth on Saturday evening. Dartmouth (3-5, 1-2 Ivy) went ahead 2-0 at halftime and withstood Penn's second-half comeback.

In general, Penn and Princeton are considered to be bitter athletic rivals. But in sprint football, the series is so one-sided that it can hardly even be called a contest. Penn has dominated Princeton for over a decade now, with the Tigers' last win against the Quakers coming in 1995.

The victory cigar of two weeks ago was gone; Al Bagnoli wasn't celebrating. It may have been that the 101st win of his Penn career - a 17-10 escape versus lowly Dartmouth on Saturday - wasn't a milestone the way his 100th was. Or he may have watched the game and thought that an express order from the local smoke shop may have been premature.
