As did fall sports, the winter athletics teams entered the season having not played in almost two years. Unlike this past fall season, however, it looks like a few of these teams have a shot at competing for Ivy League titles.
Penn women’s basketball ended up losing a close Big 5 match to Saint Joseph's by a score of 83-70 after being down by as many as 13 points late in the third quarter.

For Penn women's basketball senior guard Mia Lakstigala, the COVID-19 pandemic heavily affected what was supposed to be a collegiate career spent competing for the Ivy League title.

Penn women’s basketball dropped its first game of the season with a 66-63 loss against the Villanova Wildcats at the Palestra. Additionally, this loss marks their first in Big 5 play.
After a 43-point victory at Hartford on Sunday, Penn women’s basketball returned to the Palestra for its first home game of the season, defeating King’s College 91-55.
Opening their season at the University of Hartford, the 2019-20 Ivy League runners-up looked the part of a team with something to prove in the upcoming season.
