Baseball is known as “America’s national pastime,” a sport with a ton of history. However, despite the sports roots in the past, Penn baseball has set itself up for the future solid youth contingent for the 2015 season. The Red and Blue will see 10 freshmen grace the diamond of Meiklejohn Stadium this spring.

Everyone knows the old adage: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Well, it wouldn’t exactly be fair to say that John Yurkow failed to succeed in his first season as the head coach of Penn baseball.

One day after confirming the hire, Columbia officially introduced its new head football coach, Al Bagnoli

Two games in, two wins down, two brothers helped the team get there.

For Penn sprint football, Eric Furda is something more than the Dean of Admissions.

It's official: Al Bagnoli is going to Columbia. After the Columbia Spectator reported on Sunday that Penn football's all-time winningest coach had agreed to take the reins of the Lions' football program, Columbia's athletic department officially confirmed Monday that Bagnoli had been chosen as the Light Blue's next head coach. "Over the past decadeColumbia Athletics has built a new winning tradition, enhancing the collegiate experience for thousands of student-athletes and our campus community," Columbia President Lee C.

The Red and Blue defeated both Princeton and Drexel at the Palestra this weekend to complete its home dual meet season with a perfect 6-0 record.

Ivy League swimming has for many years been just a three horse race. But at this year’s Ivy Championship Meet, Penn women’s swimming showed that the rest of the league that it is not so far behind. The Red and Blue finished fourth overall with 952 total team points, the most the team has registered at Ivies since 2008.

In the first real snowstorm of the year, Penn women’s lacrosse was not cuddled up in bed watching Netflix, drinking hot cocoa or wishing it was a weekday like the rest of us.

Exactly three months after his final game coaching the Red and Blue, Al Bagnoli -- Penn football's winningest coach -- has agreed to take the head coaching position at Columbia, the Columbia Spectator reported Sunday afternoon.

When Penn basketball met Dartmouth at the Palestra on Jan. 30, the Quakers picked up their first Ivy win of the season largely because they limited Big Green guard Alex Mitola to six points. On Saturday, the Red and Blue were nowhere near as lucky. In a game that featured 11 lead changes, Dartmouth rode 15 second-half points from Mitola and managed to surmount Penn's largest lead of the game with a clutch 17-6 run late in the contest, one that allowed the Big Green to pull away with a 67-62 win.

Penn men’s basketball started Friday with the announcement that junior captain and leading scorer Tony Hicks was been suspended for the weekend’s games against Harvard and Dartmouth. Matters only became worse from there. The Quakers suffered a 69-46 slaughter at the hands of the four-time defending champion Crimson at Lavietes Pavilion Friday night, as Harvard won its 7th straight contest and Penn coach Jerome Allen recorded his 100th loss at the helm of the program. Wesley Saunders led the way for the Crimson (18-5, 8-1 Ivy) with a game-high 15 points while shooting 77.8 percent from the field, and Steve Moundou-Missi added 14 points to go along with four offensive rebounds. Playing without Hicks, who averages 13.0 points per game, the Quakers (7-15, 2-6) committed just three turnovers in the first half and entered the intermission down, 31-24, in large part due to 14 early second-chance points for the Crimson. The Red and Blue managed to cut the lead down to 31-28 with 17:23 remaining in the second half, but after that point, the tide turned for good.

Well, this is getting pretty familiar. On a snowy Boston night at a sold-out Lavietes Pavillion, the Quakers were handed another humbling loss by Harvard, a 69-46 defeat that emphasized just how far Penn is from the Ancient Eight’s top tier. It was the fourth consecutive loss for the Quakers, with each defeat coming by at least 16 points.

The Quakers' 71-61 victory over Harvard was the 68th career win for seniors Kathleen Roche, Kara Bonenberger (who was honored before the game for scoring her 1000th career point earlier this month), Renee Busch and Katy Allen, breaking the record they had previously shared with the senior class of 2003.

College junior Cameron Countryman was arrested for assault and reckless endangerment.

Some people fear knowing their limits. Carey Celata welcomes it. In her second season on the women’s track-and-field team and first since leaving the women’s squash program, the redshirt sophomore has had a wildly successful indoor season.
