Penn women’s basketball beat Yale tonight 66-55 in their second conference matchup, making the Quakers 2-0 in the Ivy League. After a pretty back-and-forth first quarter, the Red and Blue took control and stifled the Bulldogs the rest of the way, keeping Penn unbeaten in conference play and therefore atop the league standings. Here’s a breakdown of each individual's performance.

It’s safe to say that Michelle Nwokedi had an enjoyable first week of January. The 6-foot-3 junior forward led the Penn women’s basketball team to two wins, one in California against UC Riverside and the other to open Ivy play at Princeton. As a reward for her efforts in those victories, Nwokedi was named co-Ivy League Player of the Week.

How do you follow up a fourth quarter, come from behind victory against your biggest rival on their home court in the conference play opener? For Penn women's basketball, the answer is hopefully with two more wins. The Quakers (7-4, 1-0 Ivy), fresh off their 62-57 defeat of Princeton last Saturday, cannot afford to sit back and relax, as they begin to move into the heart of Ivy play this weekend.







Junior Marwan Mahmoud was the only Quaker who was able to hold on to an early lead in his match, capturing Penn's lone victory in an 8-1 loss to No. 1 Trinity. Mahmoud, Penn's No. 1 player, improved to an impressive 6-0 on the season.

After a long break from match play, Penn men's squash wouldn't be eased back into action by any means, returning to action with a home showdown against perennial powerhouse Trinity. Struggling to keep up with the depth and experience of the nation's top ranked team, the Red and Blue were defeated, 8-1.








Defending Ivy League women's epee champion and senior Alejandra Trumble will be one of 18 Penn fencers taking their game to the national stage over winter break, as the elite group will compete in the North American Cup in Columbus, Ohio.

With only preseason tournaments under their belt thus far, Penn’s men and women fencing teams will look to use winter break as one of the final tune-ups before the rigors of the conference season begin.
