Less than a day after their men’s hoops counterparts won a national championship on an improbable buzzer-beating three pointer, Villanova softball traveled to University City to take on its counterparts from Penn. Unlike the Wildcats’ victory over North Carolina, however, the outcome of this cross-town matchup was never in doubt, with Villanova cruising to a 10-0 decision.

After a crazy weekend, the track team is reunited. And this time, they mean business. Last weekend, three groups traveled far and wide in search of elite-level performances that would earn them qualification for the NCAA preliminaries.

In a sport so focused on, quite literally, getting ahead of the competition, Penn women’s rowing coach Wesley Ng has somewhat of an odd philosophy. “We're making sure we're not looking ahead, ever.” For Ng's squad, process comes first, and, for the meantime, racing second.

The season series between Penn baseball and Lafayette officially goes to the Quakers. Just two weeks after splitting a four-game series with the Leopards, the Red and Blue defeated their Easton, Pa., rivals, 6-5, on the road. Playing in their second game in the Liberty Bell Classic — following a 9-4 loss to Villanova last week — the Quakers (11-12) came out in a hurry on Tuesday.

It’s no secret that Penn women’s lacrosse has a roster full of clutch playmakers. But none is more integral to the Quakers’ offense than senior captain Nina Corcoran.

They say sports serves as the world’s language - a way to cross international boundaries with ease.

2015 saw plenty of action in and out of the water for Penn rowing for all three teams. One of the three head coaches oversaw his first spring season at the helm.

I’ll go call my crew, and you go call yours. For the Quakers, that crew is growing, and on the women’s side, looking better than ever.

Tupac Shakur once noted, “Things changed, and thats the way it is” Things may never be the same for Penn heavyweight rowing, as the program has undergone a near-complete overhaul of the coaching staff. 

58 seconds was an auspicious number for Penn women’s lacrosse on Sunday. 58 seconds was all it took for senior Iris Williamson to net the Quakers’ (7-3, 1-1 Ivy) first goal at Franklin Field against perennial powerhouse Northwestern, currently ranked eighth in the country.

The following things happened to Penn softball this weekend: They went to extra innings. They got run-ruled.

This was no country club tennis match. In a frenzied atmosphere at the Hecht Tennis Center on Sunday, Penn men’s tennis took on Brown to complete their opening weekend of Ivy League play.

Penn baseball started Ivy League play with a loss, but quickly worked to erase any memory of it this weekend. After falling in the first game of a Saturday doubleheader to Brown, 8-5, the Quakers won a 3-1 pitchers duel to split the day.

Penn track and field was spread thin over three states for three prestigious meets this weekend as the Quakers begin the crescendo towards the Penn Relays and NCAA championships.

Heartbreaking. That’s the only word needed to describe the Penn men’s lacrosse’s 11-10 overtime loss to the top team in the nation, Ivy rival Yale.

Coming off of a late-inning loss to Villanova on Wednesday, Penn baseball will look to rebound in their first Ivy action of the year. Penn (7-11) will open up Ivy play by hosting Brown and Yale for a pair of weekend doubleheaders at Meiklejohn Stadium.

As spring progresses and the plants begin to blossom, Penn tennis expects to see a lot of Ivy. From this point forward, all of its remaining scheduled games are against conference foes.
