While the No. 2 Penn women's lacrosse team boasts a balanced offensive attack, Columbia relies mainly on two threats: senior Holly Glynn and junior Brittany Shannon.

If history is bound to repeat itself, the Princeton women's tennis team better not underestimate the Quakers. Last year, then-No. 72 Penn defeated then-No. 64 Princeton, 5-2, on the Tigers' home court.
