Out with the old and in with the new.

Albert Einstein once defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Same face, same place.

One down, two to go.

As William Shakespeare once said, “All’s well that ends well.” Butor Penn men’s soccer, there would be no such redemption.

If this were men’s basketball, “One Shining Moment” would be playing for the Red and Blue. Although the Penn men’s cross country team may not get a soulful theme song as a result of its performance, the squad qualified for the NCAA Championships nonetheless by finishing in the top two at its regional meet on Friday.

As the third quarter opened, Lauren Whitlatch caught fire.

Penn volleyball will carry some momentum and added confidence into the fall of 2016 after a strong finish to the 2015 campaign, but it will also certainly be leaving plenty behind.

With less than a minute remaining on the clocks at the Palestra on Friday, Penn basketball looked like it was going to continue the trend it had established the previous two season: losing in its season opener.

The streak is over. Again.

Three and D was the name of the game for Penn. But on a night where the shots didn’t fall for the Quakers, a healthy diet of three-pointers wasn’t enough to knock off No. 14 Duke at the Palestra, as the Quakers fell, 57 – 50.

With just over 12 seconds left in Friday season opener, Penn men’s basketball had a one point lead as Robert Morris called a timeout to draw up one final play. As everyone in the Palestra held their breath, all the questions surrounding the team came back to mind.

Penn women’s basketball coach Mike McLaughlin is a man of many firsts.

The Donahue era of Penn basketball has never been closer to starting than now. The Red and Blue play their first game under Steve Donahue in a matchup with Robert Morris, a team coming off an NCAA Tournament bid last season.

Where were you?

Although the waters of Sheerr Pool are usually kept at a balmy 79 degrees, Penn swimming will try to heat things up this weekend.

As we enter the final weekend of the 2015 season, Penn volleyball is already looking towards the future.
