There is too much at stake for the women's tennis team to get sentimental now. Today's clash against Cornell will be the seniors' last home match. Going into the final weekend of play, the second-place Quakers (9-7, 4-1 Ivy) still have a mathematical shot at repeating as Ivy League champs.

The Latest

Corey Fisher, a vital cog in Villanova's Sweet Sixteen run? Lavoy Allen, the frontcourt monster who helped muscle Temple into the NCAAs? Nope - neither are the Big 5 Rookie of the Year.

Despite the shaky numbers from the U.S. Department of Commerce, area retailers say the ailing economy has not uniformly impacted business in University City.

Men's tennis co-captain Brandon O'Gara still has painful memories of last year's heartbreaking losses to Columbia that kept Penn out of the NCAA tournament. "It was awful. It was a tough way to go out," he said. And while the Quakers (12-9, 3-2 Ivy) may be effectively out of the Ivy League championship race this year, those losses are plenty of motivation when they finish the season at home against the Lions on Sunday.

All spring long, the men's golf team has worked to prepare for this final weekend. The Quakers have had an up and down season, but they have kept their eyes set on the tournament that truly matters: the Ivy League Championships.

Among college students, Sen. Hillary Clinton could use the "Colbert bump" right about now. According to a recent Daily Pennsylvanian/CBS News poll, Clinton (D-N.Y.) lags far behind Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) among Penn voters on campus.
