Just a bump in the road.The Quakers looked to keep their recent run of success going as they tried to build on the three wins that they picked up in their last four games against their rival Princeton Tigers.

The Quakers were looking to extend their winning streak to three games after a big series against Cornell last weekend, but couldn’t put it together against next-door neighbor Drexel and lost, 6-2.

After enduring seven consecutive losses, Penn softball won its third straight game Wednesday thanks to some heroics from Kayla Dahlerbruch. The senior third baseman singled home the winning run in the eighth inning as the Quakers (7-11) took down city rival Temple.

Seniors Kristen Johnson, Elysse Gorney and Kayla Dahlerbruch are hoping to pass the torch of success on to the squad's younger members

Facing tough competition that included Duke, Virginia, William & Mary and James Madison in a championship-style meet, Penn swimming was able to put forward strong performances

Penn swimming will be celebrating the seniors at Scheerr Pool this weekend, with both the Quakers’ men’s and women’s teams taking on West Chester and La Salle, two schools that the Red and Blue have excelled against in recent years.

After nearly two months on the road, the Quakers are all set to return to their friendly confines in Philadelphia.

Penn swimming hit the road for Gambier, Ohio to dominate in the Total Performance Invitational hosted by Kenyon College this weekend. Both teams had strong performances in a meet that has generally been kind to the Red and Blue.

In two tri-meets, the Quakers will take on Princeton, which has yet to swim a meet on the young season, and Cornell.

The Penn men (0-1, 0-0) and women (1-0, 0-0), will both take on rival Columbia, in an early season Ivy League matchup. Unlike last weeks meet at UConn, the Penn team will be split up, with the women competing in Sheerr Pool and the men hitting the road to New York City.
