Penn wrestling is still more than three weeks shy of its home opener, but Philadelphia has already gotten a sneak preview of the Red and Blue’s talents. Last Friday, the Quakers participated in the program’s inaugural “Grapple on the Green” event, setting up a practice session on College Green from 9 A.M.




Senior Caleb Richardson looks to achieve all-America status after competing in last year's NCAA tournament at 133 pounds.

Penn men's soccer's rookie winger Dami Omitaomu scored the first goal of his college career at Yale over the weekend, earning him a City Six Rookie of the Week honor. 

It was a good weekend on the field for Penn Athletics, and that's translating to hardware off the field as the Quakers enter the week. On Monday, football's Justin Watson was named Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week, while men's soccer's Dami Omitaomu won City Six Rookie of the Week honors.


With just two minutes left in Penn football's win over Columbia — and the game all but officially over — it was a surprise to see coach Ray Priore call a trick play in which junior running back Tre Solomon threw the ball to a wide open Cam Countryman for a touchdown. 

All that matters is going one game at a time. Interview a coach or player from any sports team and you’ll hear words like these. Who’s going to admit that his team can completely overlook the team it’s about to face? That the next game isn’t as emotionally significant as matchups later on might be?



Sophomore Gideon Mitrikin logged his first career goal for Penn men's soccer on Saturday, putting the Quakers up 2-0 in what would end up a 3-0 shutout at Yale.

After conceding four goals to both Villanova and Dartmouth during a three-game losing skid, Penn men’s soccer righted the ship on Saturday against Yale. The Quakers (4-4-5, 2-2 Ivy) blanked the Bulldogs (2-7-2, 1-2-1 Ivy) by a score of 3-0 on goals from Dami Omitaomu, Gideon Metrikin and Alec Neumann.







Sprint Football vs. Franklin Pierce

For Penn sprint football, the hard part is over, but the job is far from done. And that job continues this Friday when the Quakers (4-0) face off against Chestnut Hill (2-2) at Franklin Field. Regardless of what happens Friday, it will be hard for Penn to top the drama the last time they played in Franklin Field.




After scoring the lone goal for Penn men's soccer against Dartmouth on Saturday, senior midfielder Matt Poplawski looks to lead the Quakers to a City Six title on Wednesday against Villanova.

Championship game. It might not be the most widely publicized title in collegiate sports, but under the radar, Penn men’s soccer is one win away from capturing its first City 6 championship since _____. The City 6, which consists of Penn, Drexel, La Salle, Saint Joseph’s, Temple, and Villanova, has been crowning a yearly champion in several sports since _____.


Junior punter Hunter Kelley has been a force for Penn football on special teams — his 42.6 yards per punt are second-best in the Ivy League and 15th in the FCS.

In what would have been a poetic travesty, Hunter the Punter didn’t always want to be a punter. “I was asked about doing it the summer before my sophomore year of high school... I tried it out and didn’t really like it,” Hunter Kelley, Penn football’s standout fourth-down man, said.
