If anyone had forgotten about Casey Kent last year, his performance in the 2015-16 season has served to jog their memories.
It was a strange moment. As I walked into the press room at the University of Maryland, I came across a fellow reporter quickly putting on his tie and grabbing his belongings to head down to press row. “The tip was moved up to 3:43.” Now, a full day removed from the game and that moment it’s strange to look back.
For the second consecutive weekend, Penn track and field will host a meet at Franklin Field, with Saturday’s Penn Challenge against Army, Manhattan, Rider, Villanova and Connecticut just days away. While there will be some similarities between the Penn Challenge and last weekend’s Philadelphia College Classic, sophomore Jeff Wiseman says there is a key difference in the level of competition. “The competition is a lot stronger,” he said.

Opening day is meant for mistakes. It’s a chance to find errors and correct them. But for Penn women’s rowing, no errors could be found. The Quakers cleaned up in all four races this Saturday against visiting squads from Boston College and St.
Over the course of a long season, teams need to find many different ways to win. Penn men’s baseball did just that in their home-opening series this weekend, taking two of three games from Binghamton.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. After a rousing comeback to win the first game 8-4, Penn softball dropped the second game of their doubleheader by the score of 13-0 to Army on Friday night at Penn Park.
A five game win-streak is quite a feat. But when one of those wins is on the road against a ranked team, the streak looks that much better.
It was a mistake to leave 174-pound senior Casey Kent unseeded. It became a mistake Kent made his opponents pay for.
Penn men’s lacrosse put on offensive clinic Saturday against Princeton (2-4, 0-1 Ivy) at the Tigers’ Class of ’52 Stadium, scoring eight more goals than their previous season-high of 12 to cruise to a 20-10 victory in their first Ivy contest of the season.
A 10-seed in the NCAA Tournament, the Quakers took on seventh-seeded Washington at College Park, Md., Saturday, falling in what was largely a tight contest, 65-53.

Family. One word describes Penn women’s basketball coach Mike McLaughlin’s program.
For the most part, Penn wrestling lives to fight another day at the NCAA Championships.
In collegiate wrestling, there exists a great disconnect between the NCAA and the Ivy League in their policies.
Junior outfielder Leah Allen strides from the dugout to the batter’s box, pounding bass echoes through the relatively empty stands at Penn Park.
When the Quakers face St. John’s this Saturday, they will do so with the same mentality if they were pitted against Ivy league rivals such as Harvard or Dartmouth.
When it rains, it pours. In a game that featured a rare lightning delay, Penn baseball fell short on the road to Villanova 6-1. Many of the same issues that have been plaguing the Quakers (2-7) so far in the young season were prevalent once again in the team’s fifth consecutive loss. Conceding runs early in games has been one of the problems for the Red and Blue, and the early inning woes continued today. After allowing 10 runs in the first inning in just eight games so far this season, the Quakers found themselves down 1-0 in first frame once again when Villanova senior Adam Gross doubled to left-center field and later scored on a Todd Czinege single.
