As Becca Edwards walked off Franklin Field last night, she was greeted with a cardboard sign that read "Show them who's boss." Can't say she didn't listen. Edwards scored three goals to lead No. 16 Penn to a cathartic and surprisingly easy 13-6 romp over Delaware.

In its home opener, pitching was the name of the game for the Penn baseball team in a 5-1 win over Temple. The Quakers (4-5) limited the Owls (4-10) to just one unearned run.

LEXINGTON, Ky., March 14 - With Stephen Danley's status for today's game still up in the air, Quakers coach Glen Miller said yesterday he's "optimistic" about the big man's return to the lineup.

Parents love to see their children succeed, but they love it a little less when those children succeed at their expense. That's the situation Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun finds himself in today when the NCAA Tournament begins. The Huskies coach will be beaming with pride as four of his former assistant coaches, including Penn coach Glen Miller, lead teams into the Tournament.

Matt Valenti is hoping for history to repeat itself. The accomplished senior, a unanimous choice for Ivy League Wrestler of the Year, will attempt to defend his 133-pound crown later today when the Quakers begin Day One of the NCAA Wrestling Championships in Auburn Hills, Mich.

LEXINGTON, Ky., March 14 - You've heard the call before. You've seen it replayed and probably watched in on YouTube. "OH, WHAT A GAME! WHAT A GAME! U-C-L-A! UNBELIEVABLE!

Last year's Sweet 16 thriller between UCLA and Gonzaga is just another in a long line of them called by CBS play-by-play announcer Gus Johnson since he began calling NCAA Tournament games in 1996.

With the game scoreless, Penn started to move the ball up the court, lookin to take an early lead over its heavily-favored opponent. But just as freshman guard Darren Smith reached halfcourt, Texas A&M;'s Acie Law picked his pocket and dribbled the ball the other way, capping off the breakaway with a pretty finger roll to give the Aggies a lead that they would never come close to relinquishing.

LEXINGTON, Ky., March 14 - Talk about consistency. In this era of college basketball, when teams move all over the Associated Press Top 25 poll from week to week, Texas A&M; has stayed in almost the same place. The Aggies began the season ranked 13th, and end it ranked 9th, having never fallen below 13th and never risen above 6th.

LEXINGTON, Ky., March 14 - On a team with the top three-point shooter in the country, it would make sense that all of the buzz is around that one guy. But Texas A&M; sharpshooter Josh Carter has to take second fiddle to point guard Acie Law.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - The clock at Rupp Arena showed 11 minutes and 42 seconds remained in the game. Penn had gone on a 19-3 run to take its first lead of the afternoon at 39-37.

LEXINGTON, Ky., March 14 - Three days to gameplan, 127 days of practice and an eight-game Tournament losing streak all lead up to 40 minutes today. The 14-seed Penn basketball team goes up against Texas A&M; in its third straight year in the NCAA Tournament, and is trying for its first win in the Big Dance since 1994.

It might seem like Penn's frontcourt can't look any smaller compared to Texas A&M;'s big men. But on Thursday afternoon it just might. Stephen Danley, the Quakers' biggest post presence, is a question mark for the game in Kentucky. Coach Glen Miller had suggested earlier that the senior would be fit to play, but sounded far less confident at practice on Monday.

Bruiser Flint has been waiting six years to get an ACC team to Drexel's Daskalakis Athletic Center, hoping that its hostile environment would unravel the major-conference opponent. But when North Carolina State finally showed up, it was Flint's team that lost its mettle.

LEXINGTON, Ky. It's surrounded by the land of bluegrass, thoroughbreds and bourbon. But at the heart of Lexington is one thing - the basketball scene. While divided loyalties make Philadelphia a special hoops town, in Lexington, there is no argument. The city bleeds Kentucky blue.

When the Penn women's lacrosse team takes on Delaware today at Franklin Field, one thing will be on its mind: revenge. "It's definitely a huge factor," senior tri-captain Sarah Eastburn said. "Last year we weren't supposed to lose to Delaware, and that definitely was one of the biggest disappointments of the season.

LEXINGTON, Ky., March 13 - When Penn's chartered plane landed here yesterday, it was probably the first time in the Bluegrass State for most of the passengers. "I don't know about Kentucky, I really don't," Ibrahim Jaaber admitted after the selection show Sunday.

How does Penn baseball plan on ending its recent slump? Easy. Look no further than coach John Cole's desk. "We're bringing it into the dugout tomorrow," Cole said, pointing at a bona fide Easy Button from the Staples commercial.
