Number 29 got the ball with just under seven minutes left in the first quarter of Penn sprint football’s home opener. With the Quakers already up 7-0, the freshman running back looked like he wasn’t going to gain any yardage as multiple Franklin Pierce players made contact with him.  But he shocked everyone by fending off the Quakers' opponents before reeling off another 20 yards into the endzone.



If you're going to come at the queens, you best not miss. Unfortunately for Penn women's soccer, the squad allowed too many opportunities to its opponent on Saturday, conceding 25 shots en route to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of two-time defending Ivy League champion Harvard. The Quakers (4-2-2, 0-1-0 Ivy) had high hopes for their first Ancient Eight contest of the season.

With football season right around the corner, it's time to turn the clock back to a 2010 milestone. Five years ago this week, Penn became the tenth team in college football to reach 800 program wins.  Reaching that record in its 133rd year, Penn made the list as the ninth quickest member, beating only Harvard. Tennessee, Southern California, and Princeton have also reached 800 wins since 2010.  Penn football currently holds the NCAA record for most games played, 1,333; and sits at 824 wins going into its 138th year.
