The Quakers may be down three starters and a key reserve from last season, but their schedule this year won't be any easier.

In every season, there are games with high stakes played on big stages that come to define a team. 

Coming off scoreless ties, both Penn and Brown looked for redemption at Rhodes Field. But with another strong defensive display, the Quakers managed to contain the Bears speedy offense en route to a 2-1 double-overtime win.

In this week's edition of Is Stat So?, Karekin Brooks ran all over Brown's defense, women's soccer clinched a share of an Ivy title for the first time in nearly a decade, and men's soccer finally ended its winless streak.

He alone was more productive than the Bears’ offense at 195 yards, and his rushing efforts stand as sixth-best in a single game in program history.

At the 2017 iteration of Heps, the men’s squad finished in third place while the women’s came in at seventh place. In this year’s edition, both the men and women took a small step back: fourth place for the men, eighth place for the women.

Boasting the league's second-ranked scoring offense and defense and with only one loss to undefeated Army, Navy took away the Quakers’ shot at a CSFL championship and ended their 2018 season, downing the Quakers, 20-9.

With rain pouring down and the field a muddy swamp, Penn football took down Brown 13-7 in Providence, R.I. The Nor’easter had a huge effect on the game, causing both offenses to be both literally and figuratively stuck in the mud.

Under the Friday night lights of Franklin Field, the Quakers will welcome Navy in a rematch of last season’s de facto south division championship.

On Tuesday, Penn tied with Temple 0-0 after playing two overtimes. The game marked the Red and Blue’s (2-4-6) seventh time going to overtime this season, and the fifth time Penn has seen its match end in a scoreless draw.

The Quakers (4-2, 1-2 Ivy) can continue climbing out of the bottom of the Ivy rankings with a win this weekend and a Cornell loss to Ivy-best Princeton. A defeat, however, would prove to be not only a probable goodbye to the Ancient Eight crown but also a devastating upset. The Bears (1-5, 0-3 Ivy) currently sit at the bottom of the conference standings amidst a struggle of a season.

This Saturday at Princeton — the host of the Ivy Heps — Dolan’s runners will get their chance.

In the coming offseason, Penn sprint football will be losing the senior defensive back and captain Console, a three-year starter whose impact on the team extends far beyond the field.

We take an inside look at the culture of indifference towards head injuries on Penn sprint football in Part II of When a Player Gets Up Dazed.

In this week's edition of Is Stat So?, a pair of cousins dominated for sprint football, a month-long shutout streak came to an end, and Penn football failed to stop Yale's ground game.

The Quakers saw a game full of action in New Haven, Conn. on Saturday. In a physical, back-and-forth affair, the the two squads ended the day tied 1-1.

Penn defeated Caldwell 38-14 on a crisp afternoon at Franklin Field after back-to-back losses to two Chestnut Hill and Army, the latter of which beat Penn in the championship game last year.
