After losing two consecutive Ivy League games to conclude the 2018 season, the Quakers now have their eyes set on their next matchup — a nonconference matchup against Delaware.
With a new year full of big games, fresh faces, and untold stories on the horizon, it’s time to suggest a few New Year’s resolutions for Penn Athletics.
Each of these teams overcame sub-par finishes from years past to blow away all expectations the outside world had of them. Here are the most surprising Ivy League regular season championships from the past 10-plus years.
Record-setting quarterback and 2016 graduate Alek Torgersen was selected by the Birmingham Iron in the fourth and final round of the Alliance of American Football (AAF) quarterback draft.
Senior linebacker Nick Miller and senior defensive lineman Cooper Gardner headlined Penn football's All-Ivy selection, with both earning first-team honors on defense.
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.
The Quakers have a very strong core of young talent, and they have potential to reach the pinnacle of the league soon. They just Priore and his staff to finally get the QB situation right to get there.
Outplayed across the board from the opening whistle, Penn took its fourth Ivy loss of the year on Saturday — the most losses in Ray Priore’s tenure as head coach — in a 42-14 drubbing at the hands of Princeton.
Sam Philippi, a standout safety and the heart and soul of Penn football’s defense, suffered a dislocated hip and sprained medial collateral ligament in the third quarter of the Quakers' opening-game victory over Bucknell back in September. Before it had really even started, his senior season was over.
The Quakers will travel to Princeton on Saturday for their season finale as major underdogs. The Red and Blue struggled last week in a 29-7 Homecoming loss to Harvard, while the Tigers remain undefeated.
In this week's edition of Is Stat So?, both Penn and women's basketball saw key contributions from bench players, football struggled to hold onto the ball, and men's soccer finished its season the way it knows best.
Instead of featuring the strengths that Penn has developed during the latter part of the season, the Homecoming defeat highlighted the weaknesses that have plagued the Red and Blue throughout the year.
This Saturday, Penn football will be playing its final home game of the year, marking the last time the senior players compete in front of the crowd at The Frank.
