When it rains, it pours. In the final action of the season for both of Penn’s golf teams, a bottom half finish was unavoidable for both squads. Faced with the task of defending their 2015 Ivy crown, the men’s team found themselves in a similar situation to last year’s tournament.

On Friday and Saturday, Penn track and field competed at Princeton in the Larry Ellis Invitational.

If people were initially bearish on Penn women’s lacrosse’s potential to reclaim their Ivy League championship, they may need to start rethinking things.

A four-year rower in the Varsity 8, a two-time CRCA National Scholar Athlete, a two-time first-team CRCA All-Region and a Rhodes Scholar all sit in the same boat.

Maybe all they needed was just a little time away from the Ancient Eight. In a brief interlude from Ivy League competition, Penn took both games of a doubleheader against Saint Joesph's yesterday, defeating the Hawks by scores of 7-0 and 4-1. The two games signified a returned to early season form for the Quakers (17-19), who have struggled recently in Ivy play.

The expansion and widespread success of club sports across the country has had a tremendous effect on college students over the last decade.

Mother nature has not shone brightly on Penn track and field this season. The Quakers have been forced to embrace the elements at the vast majority of their meets. This weekend should be no different.

Penn golf will hit the road this weekend and compete for the Ivy League championship, with the men's team looking to defend its title in Greenwich, Connecticut and the women looking to win their first league title since 2010 in Jackson, New Jersey. The women's team comes in with momentum, having finished top-five in each of its first three tournaments this spring following a strong fall season.

After clinching a berth in the Ivy tournament, you might think that Penn's men’s lacrosse team has done its job.

Jamal Morris, 27, was riding a red, Chainboard bike around 4 a.m. on Saturday morning when he was struck by a car at the intersection of 45th and Market streets.

As the spring season starts to wind down, there are a number of Penn teams in the hunt for an Ivy title and beyond.

The first time that Penn softball coach Leslie King stepped onto a softball diamond, she broke her nose. A freshman in high school at the time, King fell victim to an untimely groundball that flew up into her face rather then nestling into her mitt. “I had never played before,” she explained.

After dropping three of four to Princeton this past weekend, Penn baseball needed a win. They got it.

Penn Athletics has a variety of varsity sports teams, but it also hosts a wealth of club sports. These club teams can even be surprisingly successful — the men’s club basketball team, for instance, had a record-breaking year. But for the best club athletes, just how easy is it — and how often does it occur — to move up to the varsity level? The latter question is easier to answer.

And that’s two. Late last night in good ol’ Baltimore, the Quakers were able to build on their Ivy win Saturday to defeat UMBC in a non-conference game 8-7. The Red and Blue got the first point on the board with an unassisted goal from midfield Tyler Dunn just 34 seconds into the game. But the Retrievers didn’t let Penn stay up for long.

While they may have been non-entities last year, sophomore right-handed pitcher Billy Lescher and junior southpaw Gabe Kleiman have become indispensable members of Penn baseball’s pitching staff this season.

Last week, Penn Athletics announced the elevation of assistant squash coach Gilly Lane to head men’s coach.
