Following last May’s season-ending loss in the Ivy League Championship Series to Dartmouth, Penn softball said a heartfelt goodbye to a talented group of graduating seniors.

Penn is having deja vu all over again. Two years ago, the Quakers beat Princeton on the road to clinch the Ivy League title and then traveled to College Park, Md., to face Texas.

In poker and in softball, having an ace dramatically increases the likelihood of victory. In the initial stretches of the season, however, it is clear that Penn softball will have to bet with different odds.

Ten games in seven days. That’s how Penn softball spent its spring break, as the team kicked off their 2016 season with a week of training and competition in Clearwater, Fla.

The Quakers are entering the home stretch. The 2015-2016 season has been a rather successful one for Penn Fencing.

After a tough loss against a ranked Duke squad, Penn women’s lacrosse has turned the page, notching four straight victories in the process.

A trip to the Wild West proved to be just that – wild. With five teams on the docket – four of which were ITA ranked – the Quakers ventured to Colorado and California where they played out a very busy spring break schedule. Their time in the sun, however, resulted in few bright spots as the Red and Blue fell to all of their ranked opponents.

In their final home competition, Penn gymnastics seniors bid adieu to the Palestra.

When Penn women’s basketball last won the Ivy League title in 2014, they swept the conference’s postseason awards. This time around, they almost did it again.

The Ivy League Council of Presidents voted to approve a four-team post-season tournament for men’s and women’s basketball.

Penn women’s basketball clinched its second Ivy title in three years with its win over Princeton Tuesday night. And the ride isn’t over yet.

Not long ago, none of this would have seemed possible

It's hard to imagine Kasey Chambers scripting it any better.

Thanks to some clutch play late from its starting guards, Penn women's basketball went into to Princeton's Jadwin Gym and knocked off the Tigers in a winner-take-all matchup for the second time in three seasons.

Before Penn women's basketball could fully set its sights on the most important game of its season, it had one last hurdle to overcome. Mission accomplished.

It was uneventful, but it was a win. Friday night at the Palestra, Penn women’s basketball moved one game closer to a potential Ivy League championship with a 65-50 win over Dartmouth. Although the Big Green (12-17, 7-6 Ivy) began scoring after winning the opening tip, a quick trey from sophomore Lauren Whitlatch gave the Quakers (22-4, 11-1) the lead and set the tone for the rest of the evening. It was the three that carried the Red and Blue on the night — they went 8-for-16 from beyond the arc as Whitlatch sank four of six and guards Anna Ross and Kasey Chambers each added a pair. “I thought Kasey’s three up top was big,” Penn coach Mike McLaughlin said.

The popular wheel-heeled sneakers of elementary school days are making a comeback among team members.
