The future looks bright for Penn football following this season's 8-2 record, according to former Senior Sports Editor Brandon Pride.
Penn football looks poised to repeat and add on to the success it had this season, according to former Senior Sports Editor Brandon Pride.
Penn football's Newcomer of the Year goes to someone who didn't see any game action but made arguably the biggest impact of anyone on the team this season.
Finishing off a season with its most wins since 2010, Penn football had a lot of players step up big this season.
The Red and Blue offense was no match for a wall of Orange and Blue defense Sunday afternoon.
In what could have been a crushing blowout to conclude Penn’s (13-3-2, 6-1 Ivy) season, an impressive defensive performance limited the damage. When the final whistle sounded, though, No. 3 seed Syracuse (15-2-4) celebrated its 2-1 victory over the Quakers in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
In spite of the loss, advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament marks a drastic turnaround for a team that recorded only one conference win last season. Penn found success in its departing senior class throughout the season, but with the underclassmen who are set to fill their shoes — coupled with coach Brian Gill’s guidance — Penn men’s soccer’s future shines bright.

Men's soccer narrowly lost at Syracuse Sunday, ending a spectacular season in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Despite fighting to a tie at the end of regulation, men's soccer's season came to an end Sunday as they fell to No. 3 Syracuse in overtime
Down 12 in the fourth quarter, the Quakers clawed all the way back to spoil Princeton's chances at sharing an Ivy title.
In a miraculous come-from-behind victory, Penn clawed all the way back from 12 points down to take a shocking 20-19 victory.
Penn enters its final game of the season as 14.5-point underdogs. Based on that spread, it'd be hard to have a ton of faith in the Quakers against Princeton. But the only other time they were double-digit underdogs this season, the Red and Blue marched into Dartmouth and took a statement win, so anything's possible.
Five Daily Pennsylvanian staffers make their predictions ahead of Saturday's season-ending contest.

Penn men’s soccer will make the trip to Syracuse, N.Y. — where it will be faced with a strong offensive front — to go head-to-head with the No. 3 seed for round two of the NCAA tournament.
To advance further into the NCAA tournament, Penn has to make it past a Syracuse team ranked first in the nation by RPI.
Without star guard Jordan Di**le, Penn wasn't able to keep up with a Mountaineers team that shot above 50% from behind the arc.
Playing against West Virginia for the first time since 1981, Penn suffered the same result, but with a much larger margin 41 years later.
The Penn Mentor Meals Program — a new version of the Take Your Professor to Lunch program — launched this month, allowing students to invite their mentor to a free lunch served at the Lauder College House dining hall.

Penn men's soccer is through to the second round of the NCAA tournament, proving its place in the bracket with a fierce 3-0 victory over Rutgers.
In perhaps its best showing this season so far, Penn proved poise, skill, and confidence against Rutgers as the riveting 2022 campaign charges on.
In its final bout of the season, Penn football (7-2, 4-2 Ivy) heads to Princeton (8-1, 5-1) this Saturday with the goal of showing that the Quakers can overcome the odds one last time.
After losses in two of their last three games against Ancient Eight rivals Brown and Harvard, the Quakers find themselves in a tough situation where they must beat Princeton and count on Harvard defeating Yale to clinch a four-way Ivy League championship. This would be the first-ever four-way tie for the top spot in the conference’s 66 seasons of play.
With so much on the line this Saturday in a showdown between two teams who often mirror each other’s strengths and successes, coach Ray Priore expects that the game can very well come down to the last moment as it did against Dartmouth and Yale.
Penn will take on Princeton this Saturday at 1 p.m. on Powers Field in Princeton, N.J. Fans can stream the game live on ESPN+.

Lee Corso, Chris Fowler, and Kirk Herbstreit all sat on the opposite end of the Franklin Field scoreboard surrounded by hundreds of eager Penn and Harvard fans.
On Nov. 16, 2002, ESPN College GameDay — the network’s weekly college football pregame show — came to Franklin Field for the first and only time in school history.

In a finish that came down to the wire, Penn made enough big plays late to surge to its first victory of the season.
It took four tries, but at long last, Penn men’s basketball lists itself in the winners' column.
