If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Penn Women’s Soccer is thinking just that heading into the weekend coming off a three game winning streak. The Quakers (3-1) will look to continue their dominance of late when they host Towson and neighbors Drexel on Friday and Sunday, respectively. The Red and Blue are coming in with loads of momentum right now, after picking up two solid wins this past weekend at Delaware and home for Lafayette.

It probably wasn’t exactly how Penn Field Hockey wanted the game to go, but hey. A win is a win. After rolling to a 6-0 win over new program LIU-Brooklyn (0-3) on Friday, the Quakers (3-1) made the trip to City Avenue on Sunday to take on crosstown rival St.

Considering they have yet to even take their first college midterm, a pair of Penn freshman athletes had quite precocious weeks for their respective teams. Women’s soccer’s Emily Sands and Volleyball’s Caroline Furrer both picked up Ivy League Rookie of the Week Awards following high-scoring performances that led their teams to winning nonconference weekends. Sands played a part in three out of the four Quaker goals this weekend.

It only took 12 minutes for freshman Kitty Qu to get the signal to put on her gloves. After her team went two goals down just minutes after the season-opening whistle, Penn coach Nicole Van Dyke called up the untested newcomer for her first taste of collegiate soccer. That was over two weeks ago, and Qu has played every minute of action since. “It’s cool for me because it’s taking a lot of responsibility as a freshman,” the Foster City, Calif., native said. In the three games that followed that opening 3-1 loss to Maryland on August 28, Qu has held on to her starting spot, showing that her stint in goal was not a one-time occurrence. And with Qu in goal, the Quakers (3-1-0) have opened their season with fantastic momentum.

With a pair of 2-1 decisions, the Red and Blue took down the previously undefeated Leopards at home on Friday before downing the Blue Hens in their first road contest on Sunday.

Most students on campus last Friday stayed cooped up in an air-conditioned room, shying away from the unbearable Philadelphia heat. The Penn cross country teams did not.

Coming off an 0-4 trip to Houston, Penn volleyball needed a strong showing at home in the Penn Invitational. The Quakers answered the call.

It was a tale of two contests for Penn field hockey this weekend. After splitting their first two games last weekend, the Quakers handily defeated LIU-Brooklyn on Friday, but needed an extra frame to do the same to Saint Joe’s on Sunday.

After a Labor Day weekend of lessons learned at the hands of the then-No. 1 team in the nation, Penn field hockey is looking forward to a different type of weekend starting this Friday. After a fairly dominant 2-0 win in their season opener against Lehigh, the Quakers (1-1) took on North Carolina in an early-season test against the national runner-up from 2015.

A week into the year, it's time to say definitively who is good and who is not. What has impressed you most so far from Penn Athletics?

Off to an 0-4 start for the first time since 2006, it’s been a long week for Penn volleyball. But if there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, there’s no better place than the Palestra to provide it. Following a frustrating performance in Houston, the Quakers will return home in an effort to snatch their first win of the year.

If you plan on going to a Penn women's soccer game this season, make sure you get there on time. So far in their young season, the Quakers (1-1-0) have seen much of the goal scoring action, both for and against them, happen within the opening minutes of their matches.

About a month into her new role as assistant cross country coach, Juli Benson calls the position “a dream come true.”

Ask any member of the Penn cross country team and they will tell you that their focus lies on the months ahead.

The final boxscore never seems to tell the whole story. That was certainly the case for Penn field hockey in both games played this weekend: a dominant 2-0 victory over Lehigh as well as a hard-fought and well-contested effort in a 6-2 loss versus UNC. On Friday, the Quakers (1-1) hosted Lehigh (1-2) in the Red and Blue’s season opener.

The Quakers messed with Texas, and while their record is worse to show for it, morale is certainly not headed down south.

If you got to Rhodes Field 10 minutes late for Sunday’s game, then you missed a couple of things.
