Braun may trump brain this April for two athletes of the Ancient Eight. Yale senior running back Tyler Varga and Harvard senior defensive end Zack Hodges have been invited to attend the National Football League Scouting Combine, an event that showcases college football players to potentially interested NFL teams.

Penn women's basketball had fun in its 78-57 demolition of Columbia on Saturday. The Red and Blue came within one point of the school's first-half scoring record, four players scored in double digits and senior Kara Bonenberger notched her 1,000th point. But the win – although impressive – was inconsequential when compared to the results of the previous night's game.

Penn basketball has performed relatively well in recent weeks, splitting its past eight games including its past two Ivy weekend doubleheaders.

Anthony Bagtas pled guilty to eight charges including theft, burglary and trespassing.

On Saturday afternoon at the Palestra, a familiar voice shouted out from the sidelines as wrestlers went to work on the mats. "Work hard!" yelled Penn wrestling coach Alex Tirapelle.

On land, the senior hobbled around with the aid of a walker – the kind found most commonly in nursing homes. But in the water, it was a different story.

Columbia Athletic Director M. Dianne Murphy announced in September that she planned to resign from her position at the conclusion of the academic year. Now, six months after Murphy’s announcement and two months after football coach Pete Mangurian's resignation following allegations of abuse and misconduct with players, Columbia has announced that Peter Pillingok will take over as athletic director on Apr. 13. A graduate of Brigham Young University and Ohio University, Pilling is the former vice president of IMG College, one of the largest sports marketing companies in the country.

For the women’s squash team, Sunday’s 9-0 sweep of Columbia was more than just a win; it was the win that capped off a perfect conference season and clinched Penn’s first Ivy League title in seven years.

The Quakers exploded offensively on their way to a 78-57 win over Columbia, a good confidence booster after Friday night’s loss to Cornell.

Columbia obliterated Penn basketball, 83-56, at Levien Gymnasium, using 10 first-half three-pointers and a dominant offensive performance to run Penn out of the gym.

It's Tony Hicks' world and the rest of us are just paying rent. Despite falling behind by 12 to begin the game and never leading until under a minute remained, Penn basketball rode the junior guard's 20 second half points and game-winning jumper with four seconds remaining to its sixth consecutive win over Cornell, 71-69. The Red and Blue looked overwhelmed from the onset.

Cornell came into the Palestra and beat the Quakers, 60-49, leading from the game's early moments all the way through to the final buzzer.

After a monumental performance at the Armory Invitational this past weekend, the Quakers are yearning to continue their campaign at the Sykes & Sabock Challenge Cup in State College.

It's been awhile since Penn basketball played a game away from the Palestra. But after putting together a stretch of the team's most respectable games this season, the Quakers are looking to continue to piece wins together in the Empire State.

With a history stretching back one and a half centuries, competitive rowing constitutes one of Penn’s oldest traditions.

Following his sophomore season, C.J. Cobb stepped away from wrestling after a decade and a half of hard work and success. But he does not regret his decision one bit. In fact, it was his decision to walk away that made him fall back in love with the sport.

The Palestra will see its first Ivy action of the year from the women’s team as the Quakers take on Cornell on Friday and Columbia on Saturday.
