In their last meeting, the Penn football team defeated Lafayette soundly by a 30-point margin. That year, the Quakers went on to an undefeated Ivy League record to win the conference title.

The Latest

What a weekend for Jessica Fuccello. The freshman forward notched two game-winners over the weekend when the Quakers traveled to play UNC-Greensboro and East Carolina. The two wins kept the Quakers' undefeated season alive, moving them to 4-0-1 overall. "I was kind of on a streak of non-scoring," Fuccello said.

Four years ago at Lafayette, quarterback Marko Glavic was ending a career as the Patriot League's all-time leading passer, and an average-sized kid out of Loveland, Ohio - population 11,219 - was running the Leopards' scout team. Fast forward to 2006, and that kid is now staking his own claim to the history books.

The Quakers football team got its season off to a strong start with a 21-11 win to spoil the opening of Lafayette's new stadium today. Sophomore QB Robert Irvin got the start over junior Bryan Walker, who played in several games last season. Senior RB Joe Sandberg had 166 yards and two touchdowns over 24 carries.

You don't need a player bio, a media guide or an interview with Coach Darren Ambrose to see that Natalie Capuano is a standout. You simply need to head over to Rhodes Field and watch a game. It is obvious, even to those completely unfamiliar with the Penn women's soccer squad.

Several weeks ago, it looked as if Penn's season-opening football contest against Lafayette could face a slight problem - the lack of a suitable stadium. Lafayette had undertaken an extensive, two-part renovation of Fisher Field - with a $23 million price tag - that would make even the highest-profile coaches smile.

The Philadelphia basketball conference, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last season, isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Penn, La Salle, Temple, Saint Joseph's and Villanova have all agreed to continue participating in the round-robin format for men and women's basketball through the 2009-10 season.


Volleyball in search of first win

Although the Penn volleyball team lost all three games at the Comfort Suites Invitational last weekend, it didn't come away empty-handed. After returning from Charlotte, N.C., the Quakers now have a better idea of what they need to do to succeed.

There are 10,422 undergraduates at the University of Pennsylvania. 51 percent of those undergraduates are female and 49 percent are male. Based on those numbers, one would expect that the ratio of male-to-female athletes would be nearly 1:1 as well.

If you are looking for a poll concerning football, you might go to ESPN, USA Today or The Associated Press. But here's one name you probably wouldn't think of: Wharton. But Penn's business school has suddenly gotten into the business of football rankings, publishing a study over the summer.


Five Questions: On defense and special teams

The Quakers' 2006 defense couldn't be any more different from the 2005 defense - not in terms of the 11 men on the field, but in terms of the expectations at each position. Last year, a young, inexperienced front seven joined a secondary stacked with seniors, but that didn't seem to matter much.

Though the offensive coaching staff for the Penn football team features a completely new look this year, don't expect the style of play to be much different from last year. Head coach Al Bagnoli does not intend to implement many different strategies in the team's offensive scheme this year, despite several important coaching changes that occurred in the off-season.

The Penn women's basketball team has revealed its schedule for its upcoming season, and the slate features faces both old and new. Loyola (Md.) and Xavier both make their first-ever appearances on the schedule, although neither will make the trip to the Palestra.
