Coming off a close loss over spring break, the Penn men's golf team is looking for a second chance to prove itself worthy of another Ivy League title. Tomorrow the Quakers play their second match of the spring season. Five players will travel to Bethany Beach, Del.


The women's golf team is traveling to Williamsburg, Va. this weekend in hopes of better golfing weather, but history shows that a difficult trip could be in the forecast for this young Quakers squad. For the fifth-straight year, the Quakers will compete in the First Market Bank Intercollegiate tournament, hosted by William & Mary.

There are no stars on the Penn women's rowing team - and that suits head coach Mike Lane just fine. "The New England Patriots have a 'one-team' motto and so do we," he said. Lane added that this year's team has more depth and more intensity than previous years'.

In the 129-year history of Harvard men's lacrosse, the Crimson hold a record of 524-524-11. This Saturday, Penn will try to make the squad from Cambridge an all-time losing program. More recent history is not on the Quakers' side: Harvard has beaten Penn three seasons in a row, including a 7-6 overtime victory last year in Boston.

Outdoor tennis is a whole different animal than its indoor counterpart. As women's tennis head coach Mike Dowd put it, "You have the elements of wind, sun, and the points are longer. It's a little bit more like a chess match outdoors." After a week-long trip in California in which they lost four of five outdoor matches, Dowd's team is going to get another mouthful of the elements against Marshall (12-4) and No.

When it rains, it pours. Penn baseball coach John Cole is getting used to that. His team has already had two rainouts, and inclement weather is again throwing the schedule a curve. A pair of doubleheaders against Mount St. Mary's (0-12) was originally slated for today and tomorrow at Emmitsburg, Md.

A program still in its infancy, the Penn women's golf team has yet to win an Ivy League title. But coach Francis Vaughn says his players have their eyes set on doing exactly that this season. If the Quakers are going to show such a dramatic improvement from last fall - when they never finished higher than sixth - they will have to do it with a young and shorthanded roster.

This game was all Penn, with only a small side of State. The No. 6 women's lacrosse team turned in its most dominant performance of the season, using a 12-0 run to handily defeat No. 19 Penn State 14-7. Although the Nittany Lions were able to answer the Quakers' first two goals, the third launched an offensive explosion that would not cool down until midway through the second half.


Takedown time in St. Louis

After months of hard work and preparation, the bracket has been announced, teams are traveling cross-country and a national championship is on the line. It's time for a collegiate tournament in March. Yes, the NCAA Wrestling Championships are here. Today through Saturday, the Scottrade Center will host the Division I Wrestling Championship in St.


Finally, Penn vaults to the top

Since January, Penn gymnastics has battled its way through four dual-meets, two tri-meets, two tournaments and one quad-meet without ever coming out on top. And now, in the last regular-season meet of the year, the Quakers finally picked up that elusive win.

The Penn men's tennis team dispatched Navy 7-0 last year, but with injuries and losses piling up over the past two weeks, this year's matchup figured to be a struggle. The Midshipmen swept the doubles point to take an early lead, and five of six singles matches went to three sets, but the Quakers managed to grind out a 4-3 overall victory to snap a six-match losing skid.

The Ann Arbor News, a paper with a modest circulation of 50,000, published an ambitious, four-part series this week detailing the dirty administrative tricks that the University of Michigan used to keep its athletes eligible and functioning. A refreshing piece of reporting, the series has since endured the wrath of dozens of angry Wolverine lifers, excusing the inexcusable.

If Marissa Rosen keeps this up for two more years, she will earn her place in Quakers history as one of Penn best gymnasts. As a freshman, Rosen won an Ivy Classic individual title on the beam, a performance she followed this year by claiming an individual title on the vault.

Too much sun is bad for you anyway, right? After an uneven 10-day, seven-game swing in Boca Raton, Fla., the Penn baseball team is heading north of Philadelphia - to Ambler, Pa. - for its first showdown back in the northeast. There, the Quakers (3-5) will meet Temple (7-7) at the Owls' Skip Wilson Field this afternoon.


W. Lax: Who's favored? Not Penn State

One of Penn's winningest teams, No. 6 women's lacrosse, will finally play its first game in front of a home crowd, as the squad suits up at Franklin Field tonight against its intrastate rival, No. 19 Penn State. The Quakers (4-1, 1-0 Ivy) will have their work cut out for them against the Nittany Lions (2-3), whose losing record is misleading.

At the U.S. Amateur Championship this past summer, a very familiar face was there to support senior men's golf captain Dean Merrill. And if onlookers couldn't tell golfer from caddy, they couldn't be blamed. That's because Dean's younger brother Ross, a freshman and Penn golf teammate, was the one lugging his bags.


Hobbled M. Tennis limps to Annapolis to face Navy

It has been a painful month for the men's tennis team - in more ways than one. Not only have the Quakers lost six consecutive matches, they have also suffered a litany of injuries to several top players. The Quakers (7-7), who are hoping to reverse their fortunes and get their season back on track, will travel to Annapolis, Md.

With Cornell returning nearly every player from this year's undefeated squad, you would have to be crazy not to pick the Big Red to repeat as champions. Call me crazy, or call me partial, but Penn will win the Ivy League next season. The Quakers finished the season with six Ivy League losses; to contend for the title next year, that number will probably have to fall to no more than one.
