Freshmen Sean Banko and Michael Keehan, senior Andrew Hally, and his brother Pat Hally (Class of '17) all attended Salesianum School before donning the Red and Blue. 

The Quakers were eager to have a good showing at Boston College’s Coast to Coast Battle in Beantown and at Haverford’s Main Line Invitational.

With most sports approaching the end of their nonconference schedules, these are the impact players to watch heading into this weekend.

In this week's edition of Is Stat So?, Penn soccer locks down on defense, volleyball gets off to a solid start, and sprint football coach Bill Wagner begins his 50th and final season.

Both Penn men's and women's cross country showed extreme promise competing in the Fordham Fiasco, held in Bronx, N.Y. this weekend. 

With a number of Penn teams starting their respective seasons this weekend, here are three pressing questions that will be answered by next week.

Led by Dave Merrick and Karl Thornton, 1971 Penn cross country achieved impressive results in the Ivy League and at the national level.

​In what was, on the whole, a mixed bag of a season, the Penn cross country program was able to close its 2018 campaign on an undoubtedly high note.

In this week's edition of Is Stat So?, both Penn and women's basketball saw key contributions from bench players, football struggled to hold onto the ball, and men's soccer finished its season the way it knows best.

The Quakers returned to the University Park course hoping to hold their own in the Mid-Atlantic region after racing on the same course in early October at the Penn State National Open.

The Quakers will have plenty of opportunities to exact revenge against teams they lost to lost last season, such as Penn State and Villanova on the men’s side and Pittsburgh and Princeton for the women.

At the 2017 iteration of Heps, the men’s squad finished in third place while the women’s came in at seventh place. In this year’s edition, both the men and women took a small step back: fourth place for the men, eighth place for the women.

This Saturday at Princeton — the host of the Ivy Heps — Dolan’s runners will get their chance.

In their last tuneup before the Ivy League Heptagonal Championship, Penn men’s and women’s cross country teams competed against nationally-ranked teams at the Penn State National Open in State College, Pa. 

This season, Penn cross country has called upon a core of exceptionally strong underclassmen. A large number of the Quakers' scorers at each meet have come from fresher faces.

Although injuries have kept a few of the best runners for Penn men’s and women’s cross country off the course, both teams are ready to move past them as the Quakers head into the most important stretch of their schedule.

Before the starting gun sounds at the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships in a few short weeks, the Quakers will travel across the state for a final tuneup.
