With the start of the men's and women's seasons both coming within the next three weeks, here are a few players from both squads to keep an eye on after their impressive performances today.

Despite their momentum, the Red and Blue never settled into the match with the Tigers, as they fell in straight sets to Princeton for the second time this year. 

No team with more than one loss has ever won an Ivy title, so a second Ivy loss could be fatal for the Red and Blue’s Ivy championship hopes. Penn currently sits at third in the Ivy League behind both Harvard and Princeton.

The Quakers will get to put their newfound momentum to the test against Princeton after earning their first Ivy wins of the season by taking down Columbia and Cornell last weekend.

Penn women’s basketball took second in the Ivy League preseason poll with 107 points and two first-place votes, while Princeton unanimously captured first place with 133 points and 14 of the 17 first-place votes.

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. 

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. 

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.
