While many of us look forward to a weekend brimming with what we’d contend are some pretty ambitious party plans, the Red and Blue men’s tennis squad has something bigger and a bit more impactful in their scopes: a weekend-long, tension-packed double matchup in Tennessee.

One item of note is that Saturday night’s game at the Palestra actually counts as an away game for the Red and Blue, while the Hawks play the role of hosts. It’s unclear yet whether that will have any real impact, but because of the cross-city rivalry, both sides will surely have crowds there to neutralize any home court advantage for either side.

It’s the first time this season that a team other than Penn fencing will face off at the Quakers’ home stage, and if things go Penn’s way, those teams won’t be eager to come back. The Red and Blue host five teams in the Philadelphia Invitational this weekend. Penn will face off against Cornell, Northwestern, Sacred Heart, Temple and Duke in the Coach Dave Micahnik Center.

On Saturday afternoon in St. Petersburg Florida Penn senior quarterback Alek Torgersen will continue his quest towards becoming an NFL quarterback when he competes is the prestigious East-West shrine game against other prospects.

A tumultuous January for Penn men’s basketball continues with your classic “good news-bad news” situation. The good news: star guard Antonio Woods has been reinstated to the school and will be able to help the Penn basketball program once again. The bad news: he won’t be taking the floor until next season.

Penn men's basketball coach Steve Donahue is not one to overreact. But after losing both legs of a weekend doubleheader, things are going from bad to worse for the Quakers in conference play.

Individually finishing 2-0 on the weekend and keying a wild upset of No. 17 Stanford, Penn wrestling's Frank Mattiace is our choice as the Penn Athletics weekend MVP.

Two down, check. On Sunday, Penn fencing recorded another strong showing in the second event of its January non-conference campaign.

It may not have been the best start to Ivy League play, but Penn squash’s weekend was about on par with expectations. Collegiate powerhouse Harvard and their travel partners Dartmouth came to the Ringe Squash Courts, and the Crimson rolled through the men and women on Saturday.

Sometimes the start can decide the whole ballgame. On Sunday, Penn wrestling got to experience that twice — falling to Army, 18-14, before knocking off No. 17 Stanford, 19-17, for its first win over a ranked opponent since 2012.

Once again, Harvard ruined a perfect afternoon. In their first, last and only home meet of the season, the Penn men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams hosted Brown and Harvard for the final Ivy dual race of the season.

Penn men's basketball coach Steve Donahue is not one to overreact. But after losing both legs of a weekend doubleheader, things are going from bad to worse for the Quakers (6-8, 0-3 Ivy) in conference play.

Penn men’s basketball had their moments, but never looked truly capable of taking down Ivy foes Yale in their 68-60 loss on Friday night.

The Red and Blue never led in the game, and it was defense that kept them in the contest early. However, as the game wore on, the lack of offense and second-chance points doomed any hopes of a Penn comeback.

No. 1 vs. No. 2. It doesn’t get any more important than this. Penn squash has a high-stakes weekend coming up, including a top-two clash for the women against top-ranked Harvard.

In a heartbreaking loss at Ivy League favorite Princeton on Saturday, Penn men’s basketball proved that it could compete with the league’s finest. The next step for coach Steve Donahue’s squad? Showing it can beat the best.

New year, same great Penn fencing. This past weekend, the Quakers' fencing teams recorded strong efforts at the North American Cup (NAC) in Columbus, Ohio to bring in the new year.
