A look at the best tweets of Penn basketball coach Steve Donahue

Penn baseball falls short for second straight year.

In preparation for this weekend’s Princeton Invitational, the athletes of Penn track and field will find themselves battling the ups and downs of a “runner’s high.”

For Penn women’s lacrosse, it's just about time for a changing of the guard. At the end of this season, senior superstars like goalkeeper Lucy Ferguson, defender Meg Markham and attack Tory Bensen will all graduate, leaving gaping holes in the starting lineup in  and leave gaping holes in the starting lineup. Also gone will be starting senior defenders Taylor Foussadier and Lydia Miller in addition to captain and starting midfielder Lindsey Smith.

Imagine it’s the bottom of the sixth inning in the rubber match of the Ivy League Championship series, your team is up 3-2 and just three outs separate you from an Ancient Eight crown, an NCAA berth and a chance at glory. Then, the opposing team drills in five runs, gains control of the lead in punishing fashion and all of that glory slips away. Penn softball doesn’t have to imagine.

Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted, would you capture it, or just let it slip? That is the question currently facing Penn baseball, which will travel well over eight miles to Columbia this weekend to play in the Lou Gehrig Division’s one-game playoff. The winner of the game will head on to the Ivy League championship series, where it will take on Red Rolfe Division champion Dartmouth.

Hopefully there's more of this on the way. As the 2014-15 academic year draws to a close, so too do the seasons for Penn Athletics' spring sports.

Feeding off of the crowd wasn't an option, but one under-the-radar Penn team still found a way to win last Wednesday.

With the end of the school year near, we rank Penn's best teams from 2014-15. 

It’s a constant at any match. Arms crossed. Hat pulled down low. An intimidating, but composed gaze. At big moments, she erupts with a fist pump and a “lets go!” 

At last year’s Penn Relays, Penn track and field picked up three individual victories, the first time since 1922 that the program had done so.

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.
