Klitzman | Another Wildcats rivalry

Evanston, Ill., April 26 - As the Penn women's lacrosse team has risen to national prominence over the last three seasons, only one team has stood in its path. Northwestern has overshadowed the Quakers' rise with its own dominant, run as four-time national champion.


Entering its final game of the season, the traditionally strong but recently slumping men's lacrosse team has no prospects of an Ivy League championship or even a winning record. But will their unfavorable circumstances prevent the Quakers (4-8, 2-4 Ivy) from pulling together one last all-out effort in Saturday's season finale against Army in West Point, N.

As the Penn women's lacrosse team prepares to face Stanford in the final game of the regular season, Becca Edwards, for one, is eyeing revenge. "I think we really have a lot of motivation," the senior said. "[Stanford is] the only team that we lost to in the regular season last year, and personally, for me that's the game I tore my ACL in, so I think it will be a fun game for us.
