There are nine days until Penn football kicks off its 2016 campaign. That’s 22 days after the first college football game of the season. Sports buffs out there will know that the first game, a matchup between Cal and Hawaii on August 26 in Sydney, Australia, is in the FBS division whereas the Quakers' first game against Lehigh on September 17 at 5 p.m.



Field Hockey v. Yale 10/23/2011, Penn loses 2-1

After a Labor Day weekend of lessons learned at the hands of the then-No. 1 team in the nation, Penn field hockey is looking forward to a different type of weekend starting this Friday. After a fairly dominant 2-0 win in their season opener against Lehigh, the Quakers (1-1) took on North Carolina in an early-season test against the national runner-up from 2015.




Sophomore Courtney Quinn and her teammates will get to defend home court for the first time this weekend.

Off to an 0-4 start for the first time since 2006, it’s been a long week for Penn volleyball. But if there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, there’s no better place than the Palestra to provide it.

If you plan on going to a Penn women's soccer game this season, make sure you get there on time. So far in their young season, the Quakers (1-1-0) have seen much of the goal scoring action, both for and against them, happen within the opening minutes of their matches.

In fact, on Penn’s Career Services website, it says, “medical schools do not require or even prefer a particular major.”
