On Saturday, Penn men’s and women’s basketball will play at home in the annual Red and Blue Scrimmage. The two intrasquad games mark the Quakers’ first public competition this season, giving both old and new players a chance to impress their coaches and shine in front of the teams’ fans. 

This Saturday, the Quakers, currently on a four-game win streak and nine matches without a loss, will travel to New Haven to battle a familiar foe in Yale. 

This Saturday, the Quakers (2-4-4, 0-3 Ivy) will face off against the Bulldogs (6-4-2, 1-1-1) at Reese Stadium in New Haven, CT. 

In the throes of Ivy League play, our staff decided to take a look at the best individual performers of Penn Athletics' fall season. 

In this week's edition of Is Stat So?, multiple players broke through for stellar games and Penn football won ugly against Columbia.

In their last tuneup before the Ivy League Heptagonal Championship, Penn men’s and women’s cross country teams competed against nationally-ranked teams at the Penn State National Open in State College, Pa. 

On Saturday, the Red and Blue went on the road to take on four-time defending Ivy League champion Dartmouth. The Big Green came out on top, handing the Quakers a 3-1 loss.

The Red and Blue were victorious, winning 1-0 in a hard-fought nail-biter that came down to the final few minutes. 

Friday afternoon was a de facto elimination game between Penn field hockey and Columbia, and the Red and Blue played like it from start to finish. 

The Quakers secured their first and second Ivy League victories of the season upon welcoming Columbia and Cornell to the Palestra this weekend, beating Columbia 3-0 and Cornell 3-1.

Sulaimon combined for 29 kills and four blocks over both games, the first and second in Ivy play all season for the Quakers, and the 17 against the Big Red tied her career-high set earlier this season against Georgetown. 

Both games at the Palestra will feature special celebrations. In Friday's game against the Lions, the team will be commemorating Breast Cancer Awareness Month with its annual “Dig Pink” event. 

Always a strength for Penn, this year's defensive unit has exceeded the already high expectations placed on them.

The Quakers will match up with Columbia on Friday in a battle between two teams currently tied for third place in the Ivy League.

This season, Penn cross country has called upon a core of exceptionally strong underclassmen. A large number of the Quakers' scorers at each meet have come from fresher faces.

Although injuries have kept a few of the best runners for Penn men’s and women’s cross country off the course, both teams are ready to move past them as the Quakers head into the most important stretch of their schedule.

Coming off a 2-0 loss to Columbia, the Quakers were unable to get anything past UMBC, drawing the Retrievers 0-0. Penn could not convert any of their 11 shots and put just one shot on goal.
