Unfortunately for Penn, lighting occasionally strikes twice. On Friday beneath the lights of Jadwin Arena, the Quakers suffered another tough loss to Princeton in a four set grudge match.

Getting away for the weekend, Penn field hockey traveled to New Haven and overcame an early deficit to beat Yale, 2-1.

Unfortunately for Penn men’s soccer, the team ended up on the short end of the straw against Yale, fighting to a 1-1 draw against one of the weakest teams in the country.

And so it begins. Penn basketball gave the Quaker faithful its first glimpse of the 2014-15 program on Saturday in its Red and Blue scrimmage.

Quite frankly, sometimes these arguments are purposely deceptive. Planned Parenthood’s 3 percent statistic, for example. Planned Parenthood has unbundled every particular “service” rendered in order to reduce the percentage that abortions make up. A routine visit, for instance, could rack up many “services,” depending on what exams you get or pills you receive. This convenient tallying is designed to distract from the other, more significant statistics — namely, the staggering number of abortions they perform.

Unfortunately, many people took my attack on racial stereotyping as a form of racism. Thankfully, a number of people from the black community reached out to me personally about the column, and we had open, friendly conversations. Honestly addressing stereotypes on both sides helped to bring them down.

He claims never had to "consider race outside of history" because, as far as he knew, his race, sex, gender, sexual orientation — his identity — never mattered. It never prevented him from being catcalled in the street. It never prevented him from being stopped while "driving while black." It never made him three-fifths of a person. It never prevented him from feeling uncomfortable in the body he was born with. Jeremiah was just fine with the skin he was in.

While it may not have been the on-field performance the team was looking for, Penn sprint football had a night to remember as it honored its senior players in their final home game.

For the Penn women’s soccer, this season has been filled with ups and downs. And Saturday’s game at Yale proved to be no different.

In a nail-biter that featured some fancy passing, solid shooting and even a couple dunks, the Red Team took down the Blue Team in the 2014 Men's Hoops Alumni Game, notching a 31-30 victory.

Yale accentuated the Quakers’ flaws throughout the game, letting a national TV audience see what has been plaguing the Red and Blue all year.

Entering Saturday’s game against Yale, Penn football knew it couldn’t try to tackle running back Tyler Varga one-on-one or allow quarterback Morgan Roberts to make big plays if it wanted to pull off an upset.The Red and Blue couldn’t do either of those things, and a familiar result ensued.

This weekend, we got our first taste of Penn women’s basketball as the team took the court for their Red and Blue scrimmage. While it’s always tough to take too much away from a scrimmage, here are some of our first insights into the Quakers’ upcoming season.

Before he became a Philadelphia public school principal, Ted Domers learned about how other school leaders ? from private, public and parochial schools ?

Yale scored early and often, carrying a 29-14 lead into halftime against the Red and Blue. The Bulldogs’ attack was led by senior running back Tyler Varga and junior quarterback Morgan Roberts, who combined for Yale’s four touchdowns.

The recent rise of play within the Ivy League has been a swift one. With schools scrambling to get the one or two pieces to complete their Ivy League title puzzles, competition for recruits has never been so high.
