As Penn baseball looks to gain momentum after a tough loss to Villanova senior pitcher Jake Cousins will likely be a huge part of the weekend's four games against Binghamton.

When it rains, it pours. In a game that featured a rare lightning delay, Penn baseball fell short on the road to Villanova 6-1. Many of the same issues that have been plaguing the Quakers (2-7) so far in the young season were prevalent once again in the team’s fifth consecutive loss. Conceding runs early in games has been one of the problems for the Red and Blue, and the early inning woes continued today. After allowing 10 runs in the first inning in just eight games so far this season, the Quakers found themselves down 1-0 in first frame once again when Villanova senior Adam Gross doubled to left-center field and later scored on a Todd Czinege single.


Women's Tennis vs Leigh

To be the best, you have to beat the best. Penn women’s tennis will have a chance this weekend to start proving that they deserve the exciting expectations surrounding the program for the 2016 season as they travel to compete in the International Tennis Association Kickoff Weekend. The tournament is reserved only for teams ranked in the top 100 in the ITA preseason rankings.




Senior center Darien Nelson-Henry scored 13 points in Saturday's loss to Washington.

The Red and Blue (3-1) got off to a rough start on both ends of the floor and struggled to get back on track for the rest of the contest. They quickly found themselves down 16-0 before Mike Auger finally stopped the bleeding before the first media timeout.



Sophomore forward Sam Jones stepped up against Robert Morris, leading the Quakers with 21 points.

With just over 12 seconds left in Friday season opener, Penn men’s basketball had a one point lead as Robert Morris called a timeout to draw up one final play. As everyone in the Palestra held their breath, all the questions surrounding the team came back to mind.


Senior distance freestyler Chris Swanson capped off a strong opening to 2016 for Penn men's swimming, breaking a 36-year-old pool record in the 1,000-yard freestyle on Saturday.

Not many things in this world get better with age, but don’t tell that to the pair of Penn men's swimming senior captains. Over the last three seasons, Eric Schultz and Chris Swanson have won countless races and championships, including a combined eight individual Ivy titles.
