Front Breaking


For the second straight year, Penn baseball controls its own destiny with a four-game series against the Columbia Lions on the horizon. Princeton may have been the team in the opposite dugout this weekend, but for the Quakers, keeping pace with Columbia has been the chief concern as the race for the Lou Gehrig Division championship continues to gain steam.

Over the weekend in the Wood-Hammond Cup, Penn lightweight rowing could not keep up with the crews from Princeton and MIT on the Schuylkill, capturing just one win on Saturday's races.

During Spring Fling weekend, Penn’s lightweights went down. The Red and Blue’s rowing squad came up short in two separate events on Saturday, finishing second to Princeton in the Wood-Hammond Cup before falling to MIT in another race later in the day. The Wood-Hammond Cup — held early Saturday morning in ideal rowing weather on the Schuylkill River — pitted the Quakers against Princeton and guest participant Georgetown. Although Penn did manage to win the event’s first race at fourth varsity, it was its only victory of the day.


Men's Lacrosse against Princeton

The Quakers held up their end of the bargain on Saturday. But now they need some help. Penn men's lacrosse pulled out a 15-12 victory over Dartmouth at Franklin Field in its last game of the regular season. The Quakers (6-6, 3-3 Ivy) celebrated Senior Day before taking on the Big Green (4-7, 1-4), but it was a junior who would provide the heroics in this match up, as attack Nick Doktor had the most explosive scoring game of his career, scoring five goals and notching three assists. "He's been very, very good all year for us," coach Mike Murphy said.


Women's Softball vs Lafayette

Penn softball took a resounding series win from Princeton this weekend, and have set itself up nicely for the season’s end. Facing their bitter rivals at home in doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday, the Quakers bested the Tigers in the weekend’s first three games before dropping the fourth and final game in a close loss.

DP Reporters and Editors Meeting with Amy Gutmann

Travel doesn’t necessarily broaden the mind. It’s possible to live in another country for a few months without learning much of anything. A group of American friends and a Eurotrip mentality is all it takes to extend the “Penn bubble” to a different continent.
