On the back nine in the final round of the Ivy League Men’s Golf Championships, Penn knew it was going to be close.

Scheduling big opponents used to be a staple of the Quakers’ slate. 

Penn softball has been firing on all cylinders recently, having won six of its last eight, and Jurie Joyner has played a big role in the team’s thriving offense.

Track and field is all about small moments and enormous stakes. It’s about a series of small moments that accumulate to become something much greater than the sum of its parts. Think about a pole-vaulter making an approach.

Contrary to the sport’s name, Penn softball balled awfully hard this weekend. The Red and Blue took three out of four games in a home-and-home matchup with Columbia this weekend, which — coupled with a pair of losses by Princeton — clinched the Ivy League South Division title for the Quakers. Having wrapped up the division, Penn will now square off with Dartmouth in the Ivy League Championship Series for the third consecutive season. The Red and Blue's weekend started Saturday afternoon when they squared off with the Lions in the Big Apple.

For Penn women's lacrosse, Sunday was a day of lasts. The home game against Cornell was the last time that the Class of 2015 would step onto Franklin Field in the Red and Blue during the regular season, and the win was earned in last-minute fashion thanks to some late game heroics. In what was a great statement game, the Quakers (12-3, 6-1 Ivy) were able to fend off the Big Red (9-6, 4-3) and cap off their regular season with a 10-9 win. After letting up two quick goals from Cornell, the Quakers went on a 5-1 run and carried a comfortable 6-3 lead.

When you’re told to “expect the unexpected,” it’s easy to take that clichéd piece of advice with a desultory wave of the hand. But let’s be honest.

Done. After staging a miraculous late-season rebound to put itself in position to potentially qualify for postseason play, Penn men's lacrosse was eliminated from contention for the Ivy League Tournament on Saturday before taking itself out of postseason consideration with a loss to No.

Penn baseball knew it would be in for its greatest test of the season this weekend against an evenly matched opponent in Columbia. The Quakers  took the field on Saturday tied for first place in the Ivy League's Lou Gehrig Division hoping to clinch the title by winning at least three out of the four games.

With all due respect to the first two days of Penn Relays competition, Saturday was the day that the track and field world had been waiting for.

Much like time itself, the Penn Relays have essentially become an inevitability over the past 120 years at Franklin Field. However, as Penn track and field understands on a deep level, the results that the Relays yield are all but inevitable.

The Penn Relays have a way of sneaking up on the Penn community as a whole, and this year was no different. Tucked between Spring Fling and final exams, it’s understandable; this is an especially busy time of year for students on campus.

The upcoming Penn Relays were founded in 1895 and have grown to become the largest annual track meet in the world.

Penn golf is just three good rounds away from a championship. Unfortunately, so is the rest of the Ivy League. Both the Quakers’ men's and women's teams will head to Bethlehem, Pa., on Friday to take part in the three-day Ivy Golf Championships.

There’s a saying that good things come in threes. At least, that’s what Penn women’s lacrosse would like to believe, as it continues on the path towards its third consecutive Ivy League Tournament title. As the 18th-ranked Quakers (11-3, 5-1 Ivy) welcome No. 24 Cornell to Franklin Field for Sunday’s final regular season contest, they hope to prevail in what will be the first of two consecutive matches between the teams.

Before the start of Penn men’s lacrosse’s Saturday night game, the team will know whether it secured the final spot in the Ivy League Tournament. Regardless, the Quakers will approach their matchup with No.

As the men’s heavyweight rowing team approaches the end of their season, the Red and Blue will be working to collect a pair of wins this weekend at the Adams Cup in Annapolis, MD.  Facing off against Harvard and Navy throughout the event, the heavyweights must maintain their dominant form exhibited last weekend in their convincing performance at the Blackwell Cup.
