Field hockey goalie Alanna Butera had only seen action in two games over two years, but after honorable mention All-Ivy goalie Liz Schlossberg graduated, the starting job was essentially bequeathed to her. So when Penn (0-2) takes on St. Joseph's (0-2) tonight, the pressure to perform is on the junior keeper.

It's getting even harder to earn an MBA from Wharton. Or from anywhere else. Local and international applications to MBA programs are rising steadily due to a stronger economy and more company demands for management degrees, the Graduate Management Admissions Council reported in August.

Even though the scoreboard read 2-0 for Seton Hall after the first half last night, Penn men's soccer coach Rudy Fuller "was looking forward to the second half." Unfortunately for him, he got more than he bargained for. The Pirates (2-0-0) netted four more goals in the latter 45 minutes to blow the Quakers (0-1-0) away 6-2 in their season opener in South Orange, N.

There was a moment, perhaps no more than two seconds long, when Penn's fate seemed to literally hang in the balance during its 4-1 win over Robert Morris on Sunday at Rhodes Field. In the 55th minute, the Quakers were clinging to a 1-0 lead that by all accounts should have been larger.
