Fresh starts and strong finishes: such has been the story this season for Penn baseball, and no group embodies it more than the Quakers’ bullpen

The injuries have piled up this year for the Quakers, a team that hoped to be ranked in the top 40 by the end of the season

The times are certainly changing for the Red and Blue, as Saturday’s Spring Game gave us a look into a different version of Penn football, one that features a five-man race to be the Quakers’ starter at quarterback.

On a warm, windy Saturday afternoon at Franklin Field, Penn football took the field to culminate spring activities in its annual Spring Game.

The Red and Blue used complete games from their two aces and some hot hitting to secure a second straight Ivy weekend sweep, remaining undefeated atop the Ancient Eight standings at 8-0

The Quakers, who came into the weekend with momentum after wins over Yale and Temple, fell in all three games they completed, losing to Harvard, 8-3, on Friday before getting swept by Dartmouth, 3-2 and 12-1, respectively.

No. 12 Penn women’s lacrosse fell to No. 6 Northwestern, 7-2, in a defensive contest that highlighted the Red and Blue’s scoring troubles against the higher-ranked opponents.

One week after upsetting Princeton in their conference play opener, the Quakers (6-10, 2-1 Ivy) split their weekend homestand with Brown and Yale.

Fresh off a successful outing at the Hoya Invitational, Penn women’s golf competed at the Pirate Invitational, which was held at the New Course at Trump National in Bedminster, N.J.  The Quakers finished in sixth place in the field of 17 teams with a total score of 646 strokes.

On Saturday afternoon, No. 15 Penn men’s lacrosse took down Brown, 10-8. The win marked the Red and Blue’s first home win against their foes from Providence, R.I. , since 2007.

This weekend, the Quakers followed up a strong performance in their largest meet of the year so far— the Raleigh Relays — by competing in another relatively large meet, Princeton’s Sam Howell Invitational.

The Quakers hit the road to face Brown and defending champ Yale this weekend, hungry to return to its winning ways. But the Red and Blue failed to register a win.

All year long, we listened to the theme of how youth, inexperience, and a slew of injuries resulted in a rollercoaster 2013-14 season for Penn wrestling.

Alumni weekend and a matchup against one of their biggest non-conference rivals is the perfect recipe to help Penn women’s lacrosse move on from some turmoil last weekend.

After a 4-0 start to the Ivy League season, Penn baseball will try to keep its momentum while going on its first road Ivy weekend of the season.

The No. 15 Quakers will face off against Brown on Alumni day this Saturday in their fourth Ivy contest.

For Penn women’s tennis, this weekend is all about redemption, and on Friday, the Quakers will hit the road for a pair of back-to-back matches.
