PRINCETON, N.J. - Before sophomore Alex Grendi could get back on his feet, his classmate Kevin Unger had done it again. In a bizarre ending to the Penn men's soccer team's regular season at Princeton on Saturday, Unger netted his second golden goal of the season, propelling the Quakers (9-4-2, 5-1-1 Ivy) to a 1-0 win in overtime.

The Quakers have landed their fourth recruit in what is a rapidly growing Class of 2011. Jack Eggleston, a 6-foot-8 forward, has verbally committed to Glen Miller's program, according to The Miami Herald. Eggleston, out of St. Thomas Aquinas in South Florida, averaged 8.

In the final home matches of their career, the seniors had a bittersweet weekend with a gutty win and a disappointing loss. The Penn volleyball team faced two of its Ivy foes, beating Brown 3-2 in a thrilling five game match but losing to Yale 3-0 the next day in a sweep.

The Penn swimming teams will have no chance to ease into the water as they each open their seasons tomorrow against Ivy League swimming powerhouse Harvard. Unlike last year, when both teams opened their seasons with two home meets against non-conference opponents before diving into the Ivy League schedules, they will face an immediate tough test on the road against highly talented Crimson teams.

Penn has to beat the 3-1 Tigers to keep its title hopes alive.

Back to defend his title after winning the NCAA Championship last year, senior Matt Valenti is ranked No. 1 in the country at 133 pounds. And the perks are already rolling in. Valenti, along with teammate Matt Herrington, has been invited to the 41st annual All-Star Classic, a prestigious tournament pitting the top two wrestlers from each weightclass against one another.

With three weeks remaining in the Ivy League season, it's time to start talking title scenarios.

Several days from now, millions of Americans will participate in one of the nation's greatest traditions: midterm elections. With all of the focus on the big day, we thought now would be an appropriate time to jump on the political bandwagon. As a matter of fact, it seems our friends over in New Jersey have some pretty big races going on now.

For four years, senior Mike Loguidice has quarterbacked the Quakers. At 7 p.m. tonight, he will walk onto Franklin Field for the last time in Penn's sprint football match against Princeton (0-5). "As long as we win, that's the only way you want to go out," Loguidice said.

When the Quakers head to Princeton tomorrow, don't expect the atmosphere on the field to be warm and fuzzy. "They're Princeton, so we don't like them," Penn forward Molly Weir said. "There's always this tension, and it makes us want to beat them even more.

As the weather has gotten colder, the field hockey team has only gotten hotter. Penn (9-7, 4-2 Ivy) will carry its six-game winning streak into New Jersey tonight for its season finale against arch rival Princeton (10-6, 6-0). The Quakers have not lost in over a month, when a 2-1 defeat to Dartmouth effectively ended their Ivy League title hopes.

The Quakers set a new NCAA record for consecutive overtime games on Saturday when an unlikely fourth-quarter rally resulted in a game-tying touchdown.

For the Penn men's soccer team this weekend at Princeton, it's do and/or die. The Quakers (8-4-2, 4-1-1 Ivy) head into their final game of the regular season in need of a win and a Harvard loss or draw in order to win the Ivy League for the first time since 2002, when they shared the title with Dartmouth.

Walking around campus last weekend, it would've been difficult to not feel some Quakers pride. Countless red and blue balloons were wrapped around lampposts and hung from buildings. Crowds of alumni - young and old - wandered with smiles around College Green and down Locust Walk as they fondly recalled their warm memories at Penn.

Coach Glen Miller has yet to announce who will be on the floor at tip-off against the University of Texas at El Paso on Nov. 10. "I'm not one to label a starting team too early," Miller said. "There's still a lot of work to be done; we're still implementing the system and making progress there.

Swimming season starts on Saturday, but Penn has already conceded the title. In fact, the team couldn't care less about who wins the Ivy League crown. Instead of championships, the men are focused on team growth. Coach Mike Schnur knows his team can't beat Top-25 Harvard or defending-champion Princeton, but he is not giving up on the season.

Tim Strickland shocked the Penn faithful last year, picking off quarterback Pat McDermott twice and helping Princeton end almost a decade of football frustration against the Quakers in a 30-13 win. But the 6-foot-1, 190-pound strong safety's performance was no surprise to opposing coaches, who have watched Strickland wreak havoc on Ivy defenses from the moment of his arrival in Old Nassau.
