A lapse in concentration and a few wasted opportunities.

On Tuesday night under the lights at Rhodes Field, something clicked for the embattled women’s soccer squad. Heading into Tuesday’s tilt with American, the Quakers (5-3-4) had only scored one goal in their previous six games.

In addition to their accomplishments on the pitch, Penn’s soccer teams have continued to succeed off the field.

As the old adage goes: “Actions speak louder than words.” However, the exception to this rule is the Penn volleyball bench, whose words are pretty darn loud.

You miss a hundred percent of the shots you don’t take, but you can still miss a hundred percent of the shots you do take.

For Penn men’s soccer, 2015 has been a tale of two seasons.

The changing seasons bring about new colors around campus, with greens turning to oranges and browns, Red and Blue fading in favor of a shade of pink. Penn volleyball hosted Cornell and Columbia in this weekend’s Dig Pink!

Another overtime game, another conference win for Penn field hockey. For the third Ivy League game in a row, the Quakers needed overtime to get the result they wanted, this time making Dartmouth the victims of their extra time heroics, winning 3-2 in incredible fashion. Penn (9-1, 3-0 Ivy) dominated the first half, out-shooting Dartmouth (4-6, 0-3) 16-4 by the end of the period.

After a slow start to Ivy League play, Penn women’s soccer is preparing itself for a redeeming road trip up to Columbia on Friday.

Penn field hockey rode another exceptional Alexa Hoover performance to its eighth win of the season, toppling Lafayette, 5-0, in a midweek non-conference matchup at Vagelos Field.

Many Penn students will be relaxing at home this weekend for fall break, but the volleyball players will be on campus, and they certainly won't be resting.

As Penn men's soccer prepares to take on Columbia in New York over fall break this weekend, the team finds itself in an eerily familiar situation.

For Penn field hockey, the plan is pretty simple: find a way to win Ivy contests, even when those results don’t come easy. And sitting on a 7-1 record with two wins in conference, that is exactly what it has done.

For the past three years, Penn cross country has shown consistent signs of improvement but has been unable, as of yet, to put it all together. This year, though, the Quakers are coming temptingly close to doing just that.

Sunday saw the conclusion of an excellent showing for Penn Women’s Tennis at the Cissie Leary Invitational Women’s tennis tournament, a tournament hosted on Penn’s very own campus this past weekend.

On a brisk Monday night at Rhodes Field, the Quakers played nearly flawless soccer. From a statistical standpoint, Penn dominated the box score in every column except the one that mattered most: the final score.

On a frigid, rain-swept night, 110 minutes of play were not enough to separate Penn women’s soccer and Cornell, who battled to a 0-0 double overtime draw.
