There's a lot to catch up on, but here's an overview of the seven Penn Athletics programs in competition this fall:
Penn football trails Harvard, 13-10, after the first 30 minutes of play, with defense and special teams being key so far.
The Quakers (2-4, 0-3 Ivy) started off the game with a few promising drives, but they all eventually fizzled out, resulting in four Penn punts to begin the game.
Penn football fell to Columbia, 34-31 in overtime. The Lions (5-0, 2-0 Ivy) crawled back from a 21-7 deficit by scoring 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter before walking off in overtime on a 24-yard touchdown to wide receiver Josh Wainwright.
The unusual makeup of rosters after season cancellations presented unordinary opportunities for many Penn athletes, from upperclassmen leading two classes of rookies to players returning for a fifth year.

At halftime, Penn football trails Yale at halftime by a score of 20-13 at the Yale Bowl in New Haven, Conn.
Penn trails Columbia at the half by a score of 17-0. Despite scoring 38 points against Sacred Heart last week, the Red and Blue haven't been able to get on the scoreboard in New York through 30 minutes of football.
After two quarters, Penn football trails Dartmouth, 21-7, in the Ivy League opener for both teams.
After 30 minutes of play in front of Lafayette's homecoming crowd, the Quakers are on top, 14-10.
In the first matchup of the two teams since 1983, Penn football has gotten off on the right foot against No. 20 Delaware. The Quakers lead the Blue Hens by a score of 14-7 at halftime.
The Quakers been able to slow down Princeton’s record-setting offense at all, which has compiled 355 total yards in only 30 minutes.
On the ensuing possession, Harvard kept the ball on the ground with sophomore running back Aaron Shampklin, who had 81 rushing yards on 14 attempts. Shampklin was elusive all half long, and currently leads the Ivy League in rushing.
One half into the battle for the Trustee’s Cup, the best seems yet to come. Penn football trails Cornell, 7-3, on a chilly night in New York.
With rain pouring down and the field a muddy swamp, Penn football leads Brown 13-0 at the half. The Nor’easter is having a huge effect on the game, causing both offenses to be both literally and figuratively stuck in the mud.
A lot will need to go right for the Red and Blue in the final 30 minutes if the Quakers are to stay alive in the Ancient Eight title race.
Just a few days after former teammate Alek Torgersen signed with the Detroit Lions practice squad, tight end Ryan O’Malley has been added to an active roster. The 2016 graduate was a captain and two-time All-Ivy honoree with the Quakers, and scored a total of nine touchdowns in his 40 career games.
In the recently released Ivy League Preseason Football Poll, media from around the Ancient Eight predicted the final standings for the upcoming season. The results: Princeton and Harvard tied for first, with Penn coming in a close third.
Former Penn football quarterback Alek Torgersen saw his first NFL action on August 10, stepping in under center for the Atlanta Falcons in a preseason Thursday night game against the Miami Dolphins.
Rising junior and defending first team All-Ivy cornerback Mason Williams led the Ancient Eight with six interceptions in a breakout sophomore season, but the rising star is taking his talents to the ACC.
