The loss drops the Quakers to 3-5 on the season. Penn will look to get back in the win column this Sunday at nationally ranked Arkansas.

With almost all of Penn’s usual starting lineup serving suspensions, save for sophomore forward Jordan Obi, the absence of Villanova star Maddy Siegrist due to injury still didn’t feel like enough for Penn to come out with a win against its strongest opponent thus far. And yet the team almost did, losing 66-63.

Penn men and women's squash had another four-match weekend after the team's season debuts last week. 

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. 

Penn women’s basketball (3-0, 0-0 Ivy) capitalized on its momentum on Thursday evening, winning 63-46 on the road against St. Francis Brooklyn (1-3).

The Quakers dropped their first two games of the tournament against Utah State, 87-79, and Davidson, 72-60, before picking up a 71-63 win against Old Dominion.

With just 70 combined collegiate starts on the roster, coach Steve Donahue couldn't have expected things to be easy. It's important then for Penn men's basketball to use its non-conference slate to shake off the rust and develop team chemistry.

In its first four non-conference bouts, Penn men’s basketball has shown very promising signs. The team, though young, has faced adversity on and off the court, dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, racism, and of course, its opponents.

Penn women’s basketball match against the King’s College Monarchs was a tale of two entirely different offenses.

Winter sports are in full swing this weekend, as the last remaining fall sports see their conclusions.

The Quakers’ first home game at the Palestra in nearly two years was impressive across the board. 

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. 

Penn men’s and women’s cross country team competed at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship hosted by Lehigh on Nov. 12. 

This past weekend marked the first official matches for Penn's squash teams since March 2020, which was before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down Ivy League athletics. The Red and Blue hosted Chatham, Drexel, Dickinson, and Franklin & Marshall at the Penn Squash Center for a two-day tournament. 

But for some fall sports in the Ivy League, the end of the regular season is just that: the end. Instead of preparing for a conference championship game or a conference tournament, these teams head into their offseason to prepare for the next year. 

On Sunday, the Quakers tipped off the 2021-22 season in West Hartford, Conn. against Hartford.

Sophomore guard Jordan Dingle scored 24 points to lead the Quakers to their first win in 614 days.
