There was more than enough blame to go around last night. Turnovers, fouls and missed shots plagued the Quakers all night long in another blowout loss to Delaware. Yet when it came to success, the spotlight shone brightly on just one person. Of all the Quakers, only tri-captain Monica Naltner elevated her game to the level necessary to beat a team of Delaware's caliber.

Last year's game against Delaware is one that the Penn women's basketball team would rather forget. In its worst loss of the season, Penn was stifled by the Blue Hen defense, putting up only 34 points and losing by a 44 point margin. But even though it's a new year, the Quakers (2-1, 0-0 Ivy) can still expect many features of the Blue Hens to remain the same.

National crime patterns suggest that Penn is reporting many burglaries as larcenies, a much less worrisome crime.

When he first took the court with his new team, Glen Miller had so many options, he didn't know who to play. Maybe that explains why he put in several freshmen for significant minutes in Penn's season-opening loss against Texas-El Paso. In last night's game against Monmouth, Miller got closer to the right track, restricting his liberal bench-playing tendencies.

The Quakers used an 8-0 run - including back-to-back layups by Zoller - to open a double-digit lead with 8:52 to play.
