I’ve seen more Penn sports than I’d like to admit in the last year (including, miraculously, covering five of Penn basketball’s nine victories since January), so I’d like to think that my look into the next semester’s worth of Penn sports will yield some strong predictions.

If you want the 250th and 300th meetings of the Penn-Princeton rivalry to mean anything to students, you need to make every game count, and Penn Athletics isn’t doing that

After losing to Penn in 2012, it was the Mountain Hawks (5-3) who flew out of the gate this time, taking the first five bouts en route to a 21-12 victory at the Palestra.

On Friday and Saturday, Penn started its indoor track and field season at Lehigh’s “Fast Times Before Finals” meet, picking up wins from both the men’s and women’s squads.

The season is only eight games old, but a frustrating reality about watching Penn basketball’s games has already become clear.

Penn swimming hit the road for Gambier, Ohio to dominate in the Total Performance Invitational hosted by Kenyon College this weekend. Both teams had strong performances in a meet that has generally been kind to the Red and Blue.

Playing its second game in three days, Penn women’s basketball put down Bucknell, 69-61, behind a 15-0 run to start the second half.

After turning the ball over on the final possession of regulation, Penn’s offense wilted in overtime, losing its third consecutive game in a close game against Wagner

Penn and Temple had the opportunity to show off their skills in a low-pressure environment in front of a home crowd.

The Quakers have a healthy dose of poise to thank for their 6-3 victory over Navy.

On Friday, the Penn and Temple gymnastics teams will put on an exhibition, the first in the brand new Nalitt Family Center. And both squads couldn’t be more excited to show it off.

With an old rival coming to town, a fresh, young Penn wrestling squad will look to make a statement at the Palestra on Sunday.

The Quakers come into a Saturday night tilt at the Palestra against Wagner while in the midst of a losing streak after dropping back-to-back games on the road against Lafayette and No. 14 Villanova.

It was the type of balanced attack coaches dream about, though it didn’t necessarily start that way, as Penn went on to defeat LIU Brooklyn.

Now it’s time for the indoor track and field stars to shine for Penn. And for coach Steve Dolan, that means a particular emphasis on the freshman class.

If freshman guard Tony Bagtas can run the team this crisply in a baptism-by-fire situation at Villanova, the offensive reins of this program should stay in his hands.

After coming out last season alternating wins and losses, Penn men’s squash has shown improvement this year by winning its first two matches over quality opponents.
