What difference does an extra few thousand meters make? Evidently not much: the Quakers seemed unfazed as the distance ramped up at Lehigh in longest race they’ve seen so far this year. Both Penn cross country teams had powerful finishes today at the prestigious Paul Short Invitational.

Well, that was an emphatic start. Using a physical, ground-heavy attack centered around junior running back Tre Solomon, Penn football scored early and often in a 37-24 shellacking of fellow Ivy co-champion Dartmouth Friday night.

Big wins are great, but the encore is just as important. Penn sprint football will travel to New Hampshire for a Saturday afternoon clash with Franklin Pierce.

“Ivies are another level” Coach Fuller said during his preparation for his team’s next big game. This Sunday at 4 pm, Penn’s men’s soccer team will be heading up to Ithaca to face Cornell.

Yes, Dartmouth went on to take the title, sharing it with Penn and Harvard after going 6-1 in conference play. But fast forward to this year.

On October 2, Penn cross country will travel to Lehigh to compete in the Paul Short Invitational, where both the men and women will kick off their seasons in earnest.  The Quakers are coming off of first-place performances in two early-year tuneups, the Big 5 Invitational and the Main Line Invitational.

The Good: After ending the first half with a sizable, the Quakers gained momentum with a powerful performance by Tre Solomon.

With the Ivy League ban on postseason play, Penn football’s non-conference matchups aren’t the team’s top priority.

One of the worst things a quarterback can do is spend too much time trying to make a decision in the pocket.

In order for Penn to have a shot at the College Sprint Football League title, they had to beat one of the service academies, something they haven't done since 2010.  And just two weeks into their season, they've done just that.

It took them seven games, but Penn men's soccer finally got it done in regulation Saturday. Emphatically.

Following the success of last season’s pre-Yale fan fest, Penn Athletics has decided to renew and enlarge the program for 2016, bringing the pregame festivities to two football games and two basketball games.

Last year, they got away. Saturday marks the rematch. Penn football will travel to New York Saturday to play at Fordham for its road opener. In last year’s matchup, Penn came back from a 25-point deficit before losing on a late Fordham field goal, 48-45.

An old foe but a new attitude. On Saturday at 7pm, Penn men’s soccer welcomes cross-town opponent Drexel for the 42nd installment of a rivalry that, as coach Rudy Fuller puts it, is “unique.” What makes the Drexel-Penn rivalry so unique?

Army sprint football has lost one game since 2011. On Oct. 23, 2015, that almost changed. With four seconds left in a 10-10 tie, then-junior Mario del Cueto stepped up to try a 49-yard field goal for Penn.

Penn men’s soccer followed I-476 with the goal of reaching Bethlehem. But, unlike the three wise men, their purpose was to take and not to give.

Penn football may have had a tough weekend, but one football alum had the Sunday of his life. Brandon Copeland '13 played the best game of his career for the Detroit Lions in the NFL.
