The men had a relatively routine weekend with two lopsided matches, while the women dug deep to grind out three wins in three days. 

The Quakers faced tough competition from Ohio State, Northwestern, North Carolina, and Penn State, and left with three wins in total: two from the men's side and one from the women. 

In this week's edition of Is Stat So?, men's and women's basketball teams had rebounding totals at opposite ends of the spectrum, football beat the spread, and wrestling's freshmen continue to step up. 

​In what was, on the whole, a mixed bag of a season, the Penn cross country program was able to close its 2018 campaign on an undoubtedly high note.

In the first of three Ivy League tri-meets this season, the Quakers enjoyed a bounty of top-three finishes in Ithaca, N.Y. The men split their matchups, while the women lost to both teams.

The guard put up a combined 51 points from the team’s three games last week, including a career-high 25 against NJIT to cap it off.

In its second home game of the season, Penn women’s basketball got out to an early lead and never looked back, ultimately beating NJIT 85-42.

Penn made sure that the NJIT left the Palestra still searching for its first win by demolishing the Highlanders 85-42.

We are so lucky that these treasures all belong to Penn. The Palestra court, Franklin Field turf, and Penn Relays name should never be shared with any corporate entity. Otherwise, we’ll be like everyone else. 

The Quakers opened Big 5 play at the Palestra with their home opener against St. Joseph's  Thursday. Penn was able to bounce back from a loss to No. 1 Notre Dame with a 65-45 win against their Big 5 rival. 

Penn men’s and women’s swimming will travel to Cornell this weekend to compete in each team’s first tri-meet of the season. The men will look to continue their hot start while the women hope to earn their first conference win of the year.

Sophomore outside hitters Parker Jones and Raven Sulaimon earned honorable-mention All-Ivy League after providing most of the offensive spark for the Quakers this season. 

After winning its first two competitions handily, Penn men’s squash will take on its highest ranked opponent of the season to this point, when it plays No. 9 George Washington this Saturday in addition to No. 13 Virginia. Penn women’s squash, also undefeated, will meet Stanford at home on Friday. 

This Saturday, Penn men’s and women’s fencing will head to Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio for its second tournament of the season: the Elite Invitational. The Quakers will face Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame, North Carolina, and Northwestern (women only).

On Thursday, fans will finally be able to catch a glimpse of Penn women’s basketball in action at the Palestra, taking on Saint Joseph’s in the Quakers’ first home game of the season.

When the next hurdle in my life comes and I do not know how to get through it, I will look back at my senior year and remember exactly what it felt like.

Penn women’s basketball finished its season-opening two-game road trip in South Bend, Ind. falling, 75-55, to No. 1 Notre Dame. Despite the final score, the Quakers kept it close in the first half.
