Penn football’s loss to Princeton on Saturday was, for lack of a better, less-ironic word, sobering.

Wednesday was the one of the worst days of my life. I got up early, made the six-hour drive from Philly to Cleveland, took the train downtown with some friends and went to a baseball game. A lifelong Indians fan, the chance to go to game seven of a World Series was absolutely surreal.

The season ended, but there are still awards left to be had. On Monday, despite Penn women’s soccer’s 1-1 draw on the road at Princeton, freshman Emily Sands was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week. Sands was responsible for the Quakers’ lone goal on the road, scoring the equalizer in the game’s 28th minute after catching Princeton off-guard with a stunning left-footed shot to the upper-right corner of the net. This marks the fourth time this season the Red and Blue have taken home Ivy League Rookie of the Week this season — with Sands earning three and classmate Kitty Qu taking home the remaining one. Sands is just the second Penn player ever to earn three such awards, with Kerry Scalora having matched the feat in 2010 — only one player in Ivy history has every won more than three Rookie of the Week awards: Princeton’s Mimi Asom won the honor six times last season. Scalora went on to win Rookie of the Year in 2010 and ended up a three-time All-Ivy honoree in her time in University City.

And then there was one. On Saturday, Penn completed the dream season, defeating Post 41-12. The win gave Penn (7-0) the outright championship, and marked only the second time in school history that the Quakers have finished the season alone at the top of the standings.

While it might be a new season for Penn men’s and women’s swimming and diving, the big names haven’t changed that much.

It may not have been the icing on the cake, but it was a pretty great cake nonetheless. Penn closed out its season in a 1-1 draw at its Princeton rival.

After Harvard cancelled the rest of their men’s soccer season, the Ivy League standings flew wide open.

Penn ended its road trip, falling to Brown and Yale, despite Furrer’s dominance. Penn (10-13, 5-6) lost two tough Ivy matches this week on the road.

It hurts to lose. For all Quakers sports, it hurts to fall to the Tigers. A loss to Princeton hurts no team more than Penn field hockey.

En garde...ready...fencing season! On Saturday, Penn fencing got its season underway with a strong performance at their home exhibition, the Elite Invitational.

From here on out, it’s win or go home. Following Penn football’s 28-0 loss on the road to Princeton, the Quakers (5-3, 4-1 Ivy) will have to win out in order to earn at least a share of the Ivy title for a second straight year.

Instead of next weekend's season finale being at Harvard, Penn and Columbia will play an additional midweek game on a date to be named later. This will offset the fact that both Penn and Columbia were set to play the Crimson in the final two matches of the season.

Harvard Athletics Director Robert L. Scalise has cancelled the rest of the school’s men’s soccer season.

If you were in attendance the last time Penn football and Princeton faced off, you couldn’t have asked for much more.

After hopping over Brown in the Ivy League rankings this past weekend in a 2-1 victory, Penn men's soccer will try to maintain their form for their upcoming match against Princeton.

All’s well that ends well.  Penn women’s soccer has adapted that mindset as they look to close out the 2016 season at Princeton this Saturday. After battling back against Brown during Homecoming, the Quakers (9-3-3, 2-2-2 Ivy) managed to secure a draw and one point to stay ahead of the fifth-place Tigers (10-4-2, 2-3-1). Although there will be no postseason for Penn this year, the intensity is as high as ever. For Senior Paige Lombard, this historic rivalry is more than enough motivation for her squad.

Two top ten football teams collide this Saturday when the Nebraska Cornhuskers travel to Columbus to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes in primetime. Although that lede might appear to be misplaced in a fencing article, the all-important Big Ten showdown is the reason the Elite Invitational returns to Penn for the second consecutive year instead of alternating to Ohio State.
