Don’t call it a comeback. But in the case of the men’s lacrosse team’s game at Saint Joseph’s last night, a comeback is exactly the right word to use. In the first two periods at Sweeney Field, the Quakers (2-0) allowed seven unanswered goals from the Hawks (1-2) before clawing back to win 11-10 in overtime.

Bernie Lemonick, one of the most illustrious players in Penn football history and an assistant coach with the program throughout the late 1950s, has died.

While it may not be a home matchup, Penn men’s lacrosse will not have to venture far for its matchup on Tuesday as it visits a local foe. In the midst of their earliest week of play in program history, the Quakers will travel to take on Saint Joesph’s, seeking to defend their undefeated mark against the Hawks. Tuesday’s contest marks the second game of the Red and Blue’s season following their season opener against UMBC on Saturday.

Conventional wisdom holds that when it gets cold outside, it’s best to stick together and huddle up.

However, after finishing Ivy League competition 7-0 and claiming the title for only the third time in school history, the team had high hopes for the College Squash Association National Championships in Boston this weekend. While facing Trinity again in the Howe Cup Semifinal on Saturday, the Red and Blue were unable to reverse their fortunes, falling 5-4 in heartbreaking fashion that was strangely reminiscent of their previous loss to the Bantams.

Penn women's tennis entered the weekend unbeaten. By the end of Sunday's matchup against Old Dominion, that would no longer be the case. Hoping to sustain its strong start to the season over the weekend, Penn women’s tennis played Albany at home on Friday before traveling to Virginia to square off against the Lady Monarchs on Sunday. In the program’s first-ever matchup against the Great Danes on Friday, the Quakers edged out hard charging Albany, 4-3, before falling to the Old Dominion by an identical score to wrap up the weekend. After clinching the doubles point to start off Friday’s match, Penn (3-1) turned to Sonya Latycheva at the No.

Behind dominating victories by the core trio of sophomore Caleb Richardson, senior C.J. Cobb and senior Lorenzo Thomas, the Quakers tallied their fourth straight victory in a 25-10 defeat of their New York rivals.

Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel once said that the opposite of love was not hate, but indifference.

Despite snow, cold and at times patchy play, the Quakers overcame UMBC with a 10-8 win in the first game of the spring season on Saturday.

Penn basketball — like most of Brown’s opponents — thought it could beat the Bears by limiting their powerful forwards, Rafael Maia and Cedric Kuakumensah. JR Hobbie begged to differ.

Penn defeated Yale easily on Friday, 61-42, before outscoring Brown, 83-75, on Saturday to sweep the Ivy weekend doubleheader on the road and take sole possession of second place in the Ancient Eight.

Yale men’s basketball came into the Palestra in first place in the Ivy League. And for 40 minutes, the Elis certainly looked the part. Penn basketball stood little chance against first-place Yale, falling 75-48 in the Friday night affair.

It’s that time of the year again. A year removed from a season that ended in an Ivy League Tournament title and NCAA Tournament berth, No.

What’s the cure for a hangover? Penn basketball is in  need of some relief after following up big Friday victories on its first two Ivy weekends of the season with equally deflating losses the day after. The Quakers (7-12, 3-6 Ivy) will take a crack at finding a cure on their own floor when they host Yale and Brown for a back-to-back at the Palestra. Last Friday, the Quakers took advantage of a second-half rally to stun Cornell in Ithaca, winning, 71-69, on a floater by junior guard Tony Hicks with only four seconds left. Saturday, though, Hicks and pretty much all of his teammates — save for freshman forward Sam Jones — went MIA.

It's never easy to say good bye. Nonetheless, after 15 seasons at the helm, three Ivy League championships, a handful of NCAA Tournament berths and an ECAC title in 2000, Penn women's soccer is in the process of bidding farewell to its all-time winningest coach. Penn Athletics announced on Jan.

Down, but certainly not out. Although Penn women's basketball will hit the road once again this weekend, the squad has no plans of going anywhere in the larger picture -- the race for the Ivy League title -- despite last Friday's letdown against Cornell. After splitting last weekend's contests with the Big Red and Columbia, the Quakers (12-7, 3-2 Ivy) will travel to New Haven, Conn., to face Yale on Friday before wrapping up their fifth road matchup in seven games against Brown on Saturday. While this weekend's slate of back to back games represents the third of six consecutive Ivy doubleheaders for the Red and Blue, coach Mike McLaughlin is confident in Penn's physical and mental states, despite the loss to Cornell. "We have some kids that are banged up like every other team, but physically we're in good shape," McLaughlin said.

When head coach Ray Priore took over Penn Football at the beginning of December, it gave him the opportunity to look internally at the program he’s been coaching at for the past 28 years. Late last week, Priore announced the hiring of offensive coordinator John Reagan, who had previously worked in the same role at Kansas and Rice.
