Penn track and field traveled to Cornell over the weekend to compete in the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships, with the men’s and women’s teams placing fourth and seventh, respectively.

The key to success is no days off. Penn fencing, competing for the third weekend in a row, hit the road for the United States Collegiate Squad Championships, held at rival Princeton's Jadwin Gym.

After coming agonizingly close to winning his first Howe Cup championship, Penn squash coach Jack Wyant couldn’t help but be pensive after the women's team lost, 5-4, to the defending champion Harvard. 

Penn basketball learned who they are last weekend at the Palestra. More importantly, they learned what they must do to get to where they want to be.

It’s Penn vs. Penn. Sunday afternoon, Penn men’s tennis faced off against No. 21 Penn State at the Hecht Tennis Center, dropping its last home match before heading into Ancient Eight play, 5-2.

The phrase, all time best, gets tossed around a lot in sports. However no other phrase better captures Penn’s Mens Swimming and Diving team performance at this year’s Ivy League Championship meet. Penn claimed a school-record six individual Ivy League titles en route to an program record of 1,213.5 points at the championships.

In the early stretches of the season, members of Penn men’s lacrosse appear to be channeling Jekyll and Hyde.

It was senior night at the Palestra on Saturday night. Unfortunately for Penn basketball, there wasn’t much more to cheer about after the opening tip as the Quakers would go on to lose to Columbia, 93-65.

Come Sunday, both Penn squash teams will be playing in the finals against Harvard, the difference will be that one team will play for a national championship while the other team fight for a chance to keep their ranking. For the first time since Feb. 6, both Penn squash teams won on the same day in their respective national tournaments.

Tremendous hands on defense catalyzed a game-opening 12-0 run for the Quakers, and Penn never looked back from there, leading for all 40 minutes en route to a 79-67 win and a season sweep of the Big Red.

In the opening round of the Potter and Howe Cups, Penn’s men’s and women’s squads extended two very different streaks.

This weekend the Penn vs. Penn State rivalry will take place yet again on the courts of Hecht Tennis Center as the schools’ men’s tennis teams will engage in a battle of squads ranked in the top 60 of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. The Quakers (4-6) look to continue rolling after an easy win over New Mexico last weekend. That win, along with beating No. 38 Dartmouth and losing close-fought matches to No. 52 Princeton and No. 32 Harvard, has propelled the Red and Blue into 59th in the rankings, their first national rank this season. The undefeated Nittany Lions will visit Philadelphia ranked 21st and ready for revenge.

When Eric Schultz was a senior at La Salle College High School and considering Penn as the place he would spend the next four years swimming, he never dreamed of becoming an Ivy League champion.

The Penn men’s lacrosse team is off and running in its season, grabbing a 12-10 home win against Michigan this past Saturday at Franklin Field to open play. This week, however, the Quakers will face their first road test of the season, traveling down to Charlottesville, Va., to take on a traditional powerhouse program in No. 11 Virginia.

For members of Penn men’s swimming, this weekend’s Ivy Championships will take on a variety of meanings.

Come Friday morning, a bus full of track stars will roll out of Philadelphia and end in Ithaca. With it: a season‘s worth of work, dreams, and authentic promise.
