On Tuesday night under the lights at Rhodes Field, something clicked for the embattled women’s soccer squad. Heading into Tuesday’s tilt with American, the Quakers (5-3-4) had only scored one goal in their previous six games.





On a brisk Monday night at Rhodes Field, the Quakers played nearly flawless soccer. From a statistical standpoint, Penn dominated the box score in every column except the one that mattered most: the final score.



For the fifteenth straight season, Penn men's soccer was recognized by the National Soccer coaches Association of America for their academic strength. Their team G.P.A. last year was 3.03.

The floodgates have opened. Six days ago, Penn men’s soccer was in dire straits. The team had failed to score a goal in five of its six matches in 2015, and found itself winless with Ivy play looming. Consider the script flipped.

Tear, strain, break, and fracture. In the midst of a season packed with daily practices and arduous games, injuries are an unfortunate and inevitable part of all sports. For Penn women's soccer, injuries are the ill-fated reality with which they must deal.



If you're going to come at the queens, you best not miss. Unfortunately for Penn women's soccer, the squad allowed too many opportunities to its opponent on Saturday, conceding 25 shots en route to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of two-time defending Ivy League champion Harvard. The Quakers (4-2-2, 0-1-0 Ivy) had high hopes for their first Ancient Eight contest of the season.
