Hoping to snap a five match losing streak, Penn men’s tennis faced off against St. John’s at home on Wednesday in before wrapping its Ancient Eight slate this coming weekend. However, in a tough ending to the nonconference season, the Quakers were unable to notch a win against the Red Storm (10-8), falling by a score of 5-2 for the third consecutive match. While it hoped to develop momentum from the match’s outset, Penn (14-9) lost the doubles point early by dropping two of its three matches by identical 8-4 margings.

Two weeks ago, Penn men’s lacrosse had its collective back against the wall. Off to a 0-3 conference start, the Quakers knew they’d have to win out to have any hope of an Ivy League Tournament appearance.

Each year, the start of spring heralds the most glorious time of the year—great weather, fun times as school winds down and, of course, baseball season. While the Philadelphia Phillies may have 154 games remaining in their regular season, Penn baseball is nearing the peak of Ivy League play with only two series remaining against Princeton and Columbia, respectively.

As Penn men's lacrosse prepares for a do-or-die matchup with Dartmouth, its team captain has earned a place in a race for some prestigious individual recognition. The Senior CLASS (Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School) Award, given annually, recognizes those who best live up to both parts of student-athlete title. Matt McMahon, a key cog in the Red and Blue defense since 2012, was named as one of 10 finalists for the award last week.

There aren’t any rain delays in rugby. Last Tuesday night, under the train trestle at Penn Park, Penn men’s club rugby proceeded with practice despite an uncomfortable drizzle and blistering winds.

The first team captain in the Ray Priore era of Penn football may not have the speed or stature of a typical Division I athlete, but that doesn’t matter. He’s got enough heart and toughness for someone 10 times his size.

In the midst of a rocky season, Penn men’s tennis has not been able to catch a break. The Quakers dropped conference face-offs to No.

The Big Red weren't able to break the momentum of the red-hot Quakers this weekend. Penn baseball took three out of four games from Cornell over the weekend in the teams’ opening series of Lou Gehrig Division play.

The date was April 13, 2014. Those of you with keen memories will remember this day as the Sunday of last year’s Fling weekend.

While Penn track and field’s runners and jumpers practice on the track at famous Franklin Field, the Red and Blue’s throwing team is almost always hidden, out of view behind the Hollenback Center down River Fields Drive. As a result of their isolation, the throwers take a different approach to practice and have become members of a close-knit unit.

Part of what makes college athletics so dynamic and fun is its constant turnover of student-athletes.

“I didn’t think it was a big deal... In the worst case, I thought that I’d be missing one match.” If only that were the case.

Pitching? Check. Offense? Check. Penn baseball notched two Big 5 awards Monday, as senior outfielder Connor Betbeze took home Player of the Week while teammate and fellow senior Ronnie Glenn notched Pitcher of the Week. The awards came on the heels of a perfect seven-game stretch for the Quakers, who, in addition to a midweek victory over Saint Peter’s, notched doubleheader sweeps of conference foes Brown, Yale and Harvard. Glenn was dominant in his two appearances, notching two wins — both complete games — against Harvard and Brown.

After powering through the Ivy League’s four Red Rolfe division squads, Penn baseball returns to Philadelphia for a slight changeup in its action. Only two days after completing a four-game sweep against Yale and Brown by a combined 52-10, the Quakers return to the diamond on Tuesday in the semifinals of the Liberty Bell Classic against Big 5 rival Villanova. The midweek matinee marks the second time this season Penn (12-9) and the Wildcats (11-15) face off.

Winless in its first three Ivy League contests, Penn men’s lacrosse had nowhere to go but up in its matchup with No.

Penn baseball put on quite a power display this weekend. Facing two Ivy League rivals on the road, the Quakers (12-9, 7-1 Ivy) handily dispatched Yale on Saturday and Brown on Sunday.

With its season nearly over, Penn men’s swimming sent two representatives to the NCAA Championships for one last hurrah, giving the Quakers an opportunity to showcase their top performers on a national stage.
