If Ibrahim Jaaber wants to play with the big boys, now's the time to start impressing scouts. In the opening game of the Portsmouth Invitational last night, Jaaber logged 18 minutes and five points for the Tidewater Sealants, who lost to the Holiday Inn-Portsmouth contingent, 110-71.

Ever taken a three-year test? Most likely not, but Ivy League fencers are currently in year two of their three-year-long evaluation. Two years ago, the Ivies agreed to implement a new schedule format on a "trial basis," as Associate Director of the Ivy League Chuck Yrigoyen described it.

During his high school career, Penn midfielder David Cornbrooks had one chance to compete against his younger brother in lacrosse. But the brothers were vying over more than just the Cornbrooks family name. David went to St. Paul's, and his brother to the Gilman School, two archrivals in Baltimore.

Why Harvard's search for a new hoops coach should be about more than finding a winner.

Now that Joe Scott has left Princeton for the clear skies and lower expectations of Denver, athletic director Gary Walters and the Tigers are left with a monumental decision: Should Princeton maintain the coaching lineage of Pete Carril or should they focus solely on winning?

Two freshmen will have the chance to improve on their already notable rookie campaigns after the NCAA regional selections were announced on Monday night. Marissa Rosen has garnered the No. 1 seed in the Northeast in the all-around competition, while classmate Lizzie Lowe will be joining her as an event specialist on the uneven bars.

Didn't expect the women's lacrosse team to beat then-No. 12 Johns Hopkins last week? Too bad. The then-No. 14 Quakers pulled out a dominating 12-4 upset in Baltimore.

There has been a different person leading the Penn women's golf team in almost all its tournaments this season. Any explanations? "We don't play the same venue each time," said coach Francis Vaughn. "There are horses for courses and courses for horses." This time, the course was the Raspberry Falls Golf and Hunt Club in Leesburg, Va.

Mix equal parts of good pitching and timely hitting. Add a dash of power and a pinch of defense. Stir together. For the first time all season, Quakers coach John Cole feels as if the recipe is complete.

Off to their best start since 1980, some members of the No. 11 Penn women's lacrosse team believe they still aren't getting their due respect. Now they have one less reason to think so. After the then-No. 14 Quakers (8-1, 3-0 Ivy League) beat then-No. 12 Johns Hopkins (6-4) 12-4 and Columbia (3-6, 0-3) 14-6 last week, coach Karin Brower was named the U.

A meeting on the Penn softball field helps confront adversity off of it

This was no ordinary women's tennis match. About 100 cheering fans were holding or wearing free T-shirts and eating pizza as Penn battled Princeton Saturday afternoon at Lott Courts. Michael Dowd's team went out of its way to set up and market this event, publicizing it on Locust Walk, and spending mostly its own money to make it happen.
