All’s well that ends well.  Penn women’s soccer has adapted that mindset as they look to close out the 2016 season at Princeton this Saturday. After battling back against Brown during Homecoming, the Quakers (9-3-3, 2-2-2 Ivy) managed to secure a draw and one point to stay ahead of the fifth-place Tigers (10-4-2, 2-3-1). Although there will be no postseason for Penn this year, the intensity is as high as ever. For Senior Paige Lombard, this historic rivalry is more than enough motivation for her squad.

Women's squash will look to push further in 2016-17 with a national championship. They currently are one of the few winter sports poised to steal a national title along with their male counterparts, and sophomore Reeham Salah will play a role in that.

The winter sports season is right around the corner. In anticipation, our editors debated: Which team are you most excited to see play? Sports Editor Tom Nowlan: For me, the answer has got to be men’s hoops. A year ago, Steve Donahue’s first season as coach saw the Red and Blue overcome the loss of two star players: Tony Hicks sat out his final season of eligibility in order to use it at Louisville while Antonio Woods was ruled academically ineligible in January.


I set out to write this column about nutrition. As you’ll soon read, that’s not what happened. The idea came to me last Monday after morning practice when coach Mike Schnur gathered the men’s and women’s swim teams for a meeting.





As Penn swimming and diving prepares for the new season, junior Carolyn Yang will spearhead the Red and Blue heading into the year's first tri-meet as Penn and Columbia pay a visit to New York to take on Army West Point.

Traditions are funny. Teams often start their seasons against the same opponent every year, and sometimes without good reason. But Penn swimming is breaking the mould with their first meet this year — and breaking out of their comfort zone in the process. For virtually as long as time itself, the Quakers have started their season with a dual meet against Columbia.


Junior Virginia Burns will anchor a strong group of women's distance swimmers in 2016-2017.

Penn Women’s Distance Swimming looks to build on last season’s success and has plenty of reason for optimism The Penn Women’s Distance Swim Team reached nearly unprecedented levels of success for the program last year, and come into this season overflowing with optimism and ready to meet the heightened expectations. It is no fluke that Mike Schnur was selected to be the 2016 Ivy League Women’s Coach of the Year.





Although junior Erica Higa was able to get a good chance to win things in overtime for Penn women’s soccer on Saturday, the Quakers couldn’t pull off the Senior Day win against Brpown, ultimately drawing, 1-1.

The adage normally goes that you win some, and you lose some. But when you are Penn women's soccer, apparently you also tie some. After 110 minutes, there was nothing to separate the Quakers (9-3-3, 2-2-2 Ivy) and Brown (8-2-5, 3-1-2), as the two teams fought to a 1-1 draw this Saturday at Rhodes Field. The day started off with a Senior Day pregame ceremony honoring Penn's six seniors, where the players were recognized on the field with their families for their contributions to the program.



Thanks in part to a career night for sophomore outside hitter Courtney Quinn — who logged 16 kils and 28 digs on the night — Penn volleyball beat Dartmouth in five sets to complete the season sweep.

Call it halloWeekend now. After losing four of their last five Ivy matchups, Penn volleyball busted out of their rut in a big way, picking up victories over both Harvard and Dartmouth on the road. The 3-0 win over Harvard (6-13, 4-6 Ivy) was especially meaningful as it marked the first season since 2010 where Penn (10-12, 5-5) won both matchups with the Crimson.
