When the last swimmer’s hand had touched the wall, both the men’s and women’s teams had asserted their dominance over UConn on Saturday, taking both meets from the Huskies. The victory came on the heels of a tough men’s loss Friday at Columbia.

On Saturday, Penn men’s soccer picked up its first Ivy win of the year, defeating Harvard at Rhodes Field, 3-1. In doing so, the Quakers (3-13, 1-6 Ivy) avoided finishing in the cellar of the Ivy League, a status they relegated to the Crimson (3-11-3, 0-6-1) instead.
