week, a coalition of student groups announced their plans for a different divestment proposal, but this time it’s a bit more controversial. Eight student groups — Penn Arab Student Society, Penn for Immigrant Rights, Penn Students for Justice in Palestine, Students Organizing for Unity and Liberation, Penn Amnesty International, Penn Non-Cis and the

Student Labor Action Project — announced in a Daily Pennsylvanian guest column on March 30 a new divestment movement called Penn Divest from Displacement, which proposes the University divest from corporations that profit through practices that displace people. Penn Divest from Displacement identified seven companies involved

in “human rights abuses related to the displacement of peoples.” The companies listed are involved in such fields as the private prison industry, drone manufacturing and the weaponization of bulldozers used against Palestinian homes in the West Bank.

PENN SPEC Connaissance will host a talk by Ellie Kemper on April 21 ELLIE SCHROEDER Staff Reporter

If you’ve already binge-watched the first season of “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” on Netflix, you’re in luck. Star of the new series Ellie Kemper, who plays Kimmy, will speak at Penn on April 21 in an event produced by the Social Planning and Events Committee. She is expected to discuss her career and experiences, and students will be able to interact with her in a question-and-answer session. The new series was co-created by writer and comedian Tina Fey, best known for her role on “Saturday Night Live,” and television screenwriter Robert Carlock, a former writer for “Saturday Night Live” and “Friends.” Season one of the series hit Netflix in March and was quickly met with high ratings and critical acclaim.

Righting wrongful arrest

Student awarded $80,000 for 2011 Occupy Phila. arrest DAVID CAHN Staff Reporter

On Thursday, a Penn doctoral candidate was awarded $80,000 in compensation after his wrongful arrest in the 2011 Occupy Philadelphia protests, according to a philly.com article. Sociology Ph.D. student Gregory Harris was arrested in 2011 for assault after allegedly elbowing a police officer while he observed an Occupy Philadelphia protest for his dissertation. On April 2, a federal civil court jury found that Harris was wrongfully arrested. In 2011, Municipal Court Judge Karen Simmons dismissed all charges against Harris, which included aggravated assault, riot, recklessly endangering another person and resisting arrest. She ruled there was not enough evidence to demonstrate that Harris, who was in the middle of a large crowd, intentionally injured the police officer in question. Occupy Philadelphia was a movement about income inequality that began after the financial crisis in 2008. The movement’s goal was to highlight the impact of inequality on “the 99%.”

Many obstacles for individualized majors Complex policies turn students away from pursuing the route

Penn student Gregory Harris was arrested during the 2011 Occupy Philadelphia protest after allegedly elbowing a police officer.

Harris was arrested along with 51 other demonstrators at Dilworth Plaza when Philadelphia Police decided to clear the Occupy encampment. The jury decided not to award

Harris punitive damages, which are damages intended to punish the City of Philadelphia for wrongdoing, his lawyer said. It did award him $80,000 in compensatory damages.

The individualized major is listed among the College of Arts and Science’s roughly 60 existing courses of study, but only a handful of students pursue the option. Each year, typically fewer than five students graduate with an individualized major — in 2012 there was only one. Students interested in an individualized major must go through a series of procedures much more complicated than declaring an existing major. Declaration forms for existing majors are usually one page long, but the individualized major application is a thick stack of paperwork including instructions for the declaration process, forms to request faculty advisors and worksheets for which classes to take.

“We want this to be a very serious application. It’s not something you can just walk in the office and declare, without doing all the research and deliberations,” said Hocine Fetni, assistant dean for academic advising in the College of Arts and Sciences. “Every month I have about 10 students come to me and say they are interested in doing an individualized major. But after I explain to them the process, most of them are not interested anymore.” Not everyone agrees with the school’s policy. One of them is College junior Merv Arnold-Lyons, who attempted to pursue an individualized major but was turned away by the process. Arnold-Lyons was interested in combining studies of psychology, design and marketing, which relate to his start-up called Hangify, a social networking mobile app. Arnold-Lyons recalled his meeting SEE MAJORS PAGE 9

College senior recognized for extensive community work Rawlin Rosario is involved in various outreach groups ELIZABETH WINSTON Staff Reporter

The Penn bubble can’t keep College senior Rawlin Rosario from reaching out into the West Philadelphia community. In January, Rosario was recognized for his work in the community through the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Student Award for Community Involvement. He was nominated by Program Coordinater of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs Kenny Jones, who has been a mentor and Greek advisor to Rosario, a member of Lambda Upsilon Lambda. Rosario said the award “has humbled me and inspired me because sometimes it gets overwhelming” to balance his community involvement,

academics and extracurriculars. Rosario is involved in the Latino Honor Society, club baseball, Makuu and La Casa Latina, among other organizations. Rosario grew up in a community where going to college wasn’t expected, let alone going to a prestigious university like Penn. Rosario is the first in his family to go to college, and he has spent time at Penn inspiring young men from Philadelphia that they can make it to college too through the program “Man of the House.” Rosario and other Penn students help boys ages 10-15 with life decisions from how to be professional to how to talk to girls. Rosario also had the opportunity to work hands-on in the community with Habitat for Humanity. He spent his spare time painting, pulling weeds and cleaning up in order to help others. “When you invest in the community you get a lot out of it,” Rosario said.

Rosario also said the MLK Award has helped to reinforce the importance of reaching out to others and forming a community. In fact, the community at Penn is what inspired Rosario to apply. He knew that he wanted to come to Penn since his junior year in high school after a visit to the campus with a local outreach group. He was drawn in by the vibrant communityand felt immediately inspired. Through hard work in high school and determination to do well, Rosario proved that he was Penn material. He came to Penn expecting to focus on school and work towards becoming a lawyer. Throughout his time at Penn, Rosario has made an impact on the community on campus as well. Through his involvement in the dance group Onda Latina, he has been able to express his Dominican heritage and create meaningful connections with the community. “Rawlin is one of the hardest

working men I know, and I’ve seen that since freshmen year. Whether it’s serving as a board member in Onda or choreographing a piece together, Rawlin puts 110 percent into everything he does and is incredibly determined, passionate and dedicated,” Wharton senior and Onda Latina member Alexandria Wiggins said. Before joining the dance troop, Rosario said that he had never danced in a group before. But after four years with the group, Rawlin just wrapped up his last show a couple weeks ago. Rosario feels that he has left his mark on Penn and that Penn has left its mark on him as well. He encourages young Penn students to follow their passions and try new things. “As an elder, I see in Rawlin the reflection that no matter how challenging our world becomes, there will always be those individuals who will prioritize in their lives the

wellbeing of others and the possibility of a better world ahead,” Director of La Casa Latina Johnny Irizarry said. Rosario said he would sincerely miss Penn but will continue his path to becoming a lawyer at Johns

Hopkins. There, he will continue his community involvement by participating in Teach for America, a program for high achieving college graduates to spend at least two years teaching in an under-privileged community.

Penn research extends to infinity and beyond Penn teams up with NASA to study space effects on astronauts VIBHA KANNAN Contributing Reporter

A group of Penn researchers are beginning to find that our seemingly limitless expansion into space is not without its human costs. Penn professors are working with NASA to investigate the effects that longer space missions have on the human body. Since 2011, the researchers have been developing cognitive test batteries to measure the stressors that astronauts experience in spaceflight. While in space, astronauts have to deal with microgravity, radiation, non-24 hour light-dark cycles and chronic sleep restrictions. Oxygen levels can be too low, and the carbon dioxide levels are often too high, which can result in fatigue and a loss of bone density. Part of the study includes using twin test subjects and comparing cognitive performances by

monitoring one that stays on Earth, and another that flies out to space. According to Mathias Basner, assistant professor of psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine, Penn researchers were motivated to develop these new cognitive tests because NASA’s current methods could be improved. “The tool that is currently used by NASA is not comprehensive enough, not broad enough and also probably not sensitive enough because it’s not tailored to the astronaut population to detect more subtle shifts in cognitive performance,” Basner said. The group of Penn professors has been looking to improve upon previous research by specifically tailoring the cognitive tests for astronauts. “We know that astronauts are a highly motivated and high-performing population,” Basner said. “Population groups, such as astronauts, are a very complex construct with many different facets, so we wanted the tests to be broad and cover as many cognitive domains as we could.”

DIVESTMENT >> PAGE 1

controversy begins. The Penn Divest for Displacement proposal has elements similar to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movements, or BDS, which has sparked controversy across campuses nationwide. In response to the movement, members of the Think Peace Coalition — a group of pro-Israel student leaders — have begun to vocalize their concerns about the proposal. “[The] divestment resolution about global displacement blames Israel wholly for the current conflict,” College junior and President of Israel@Penn Daniela Jinich said. “The fact that four … companies specifically target divesting from Israel shows that this is not an unbiased divestment proposal of global displacement struggles … [it] takes a simplified stance on complicated and polarizing issues, ignoring valid narratives and pragmatic solutions, and thus promotes more separation in the Middle East and on our campus.” “The campaign has been in the works for a really long time — over a year,” Engineering senior Lauren Ballester said of Penn Divest from Displacement.

The test battery examines aspects of cognition that have not been looked at before during spaceflight. Professors are looking at spatial orientation, emotional recognition and risk decisionmaking. “Risk decision-making is so important for mission success but nevertheless has never been looked at,” Basner said. Currently, their research is still in its first stages, and the group is collecting data on sleep deprivation and its connection to different spaceflight stressors. But, according to Basner, they hope to apply these cognitive tests for NASA in the future. “In the long run, NASA could decide to put this into operation and use it very much like they use their current monitoring tool,” Basner said. “Obviously, the ultimate goal is to send people to Mars, get them back safely, while making sure that they perform optimally, because every tiny mistake in space can have severe consequences and endanger the lives of the astronauts.”

NOW LEASING!

Ballester is a member of SJP and co-wrote the guest column announcing the campaign. “We were inspired by work on different campuses that’s being done to really ask the university for more student control over where our endowment goes.” The Penn Arab Society, cosigners of Penn Divest from Displacement, wrote in a statement, “As students of this university, we believe in complete equality and justice for all people around the world. We are strongly opposed to having our name associated to companies that do not hold our same values or mission statement.” While Penn Divest from Displacement includes similar aspects to those of BDS, it also targets corporations that go beyond Palestine, such as the Corrections Corporation of America, which is the largest private prison company in the United States. “I think it’s unfortunate that people sort of conflate criticism of very specific policies that specific companies are committing to any kind of sweeping attack on a group of people,” Ballester said. “That’s obviously the last thing we are doing, want to do or mean to do at all, and that’s not what the movement is doing.”

Even though the proposal doesn’t sit well with most members of Think Peace, one faction of the Coalition welcomes the proposal as a way of helping dialogue. “I think that Penn Divest made some good points,” said College sophomore Mira Nathanson, who is board member of J Street and a member the Think Peace Coalition. “But my biggest reaction to the article is that I hope that in response, the Think Peace Coalition is going to make a stronger commitment to peace and specifically using stronger language in their mission statement.” Nathanson, as well as other J Street members, have advocated for Think Peace to acknowledge the 1967 Israeli-Palestinian borders and oppose settlement expansion. The Coalition has chosen not to include these lines in its mission statement. “I am hoping this divest movement will instead spawn the Think Peace Coalition to come back with stronger language to make people see that there are more viable solutions for peace than the divest movement,” Nathanson added. “I think the only way to do that is for Think Peace to come up with some stronger language.”

EDITORIAL | The biggest task facing the UA is uniting a Penn community self-segregated by interest

he turnout for the recent Undergraduate Assembly elections was just 39 percent, down from last year’s 54 percent. This means that our president elect, Jane Meyer, was chosen by a small sliver of the undergraduate population that she now represents. The vast majority of that population was — and probably remains — indifferent. But are we alone in caring so little about our representative student government? The answer, it seems, is “No.” The issue of low voter participation is endemic to many campuses. The percentage of voter turnout for the Ivies generally hovers in the 40s and 50s, but reports show that in recent years, these numbers have been declining. In an extreme case, Brown’s Undergraduate Council of Students elections only drew in 28 percent of its voter base in 2012. Students don’t feel the need to vote because they don’t see the impact of the results, The Brown Daily Herald reported at the time.

And then there was the 2013 Harvard Undergraduate Council election snafu, when the winning ticket, Sam Clark ’15 and Gus Mayopoulos ’15, was a satirical platform advocating for thicker toilet paper and tomato basil ravioli soup at all meals. The two other tickets had both boasted extensive UC experience and nu-

our previous editorial, we discussed the impotency of the UA as an effective vehicle for enacting change, which curtails any enthusiasm for its elections. But while the issue of relevancy is pervasive on all campuses, our UA suffers further from a lack of visibility, widespread information and

highly visible. In comparison, Penn students tend to be uninformed about the individual candidates and the positions that they are vying for. Ask yourself: do you know what the UA president and vice president do? What about the Wharton, College, Engineering and

While Clark and Mayopoulos originally planned to resign before inauguration, Mayopoulos later changed his mind, citing a need for new leadership that would bridge the disconnect between students and their government. The common theme is a lack of relevancy of student government to the lives of the average student voter. In

knowledge about the various positions being put up for vote. At institutions like Harvard, where voter turnout is relatively higher at over 50 percent, student government elections make up a large part of the community life when they are in session. Tickets have scores of supporters that aid in running a successful publicity campaign. The candidates, and the election, are

Nursing representatives? The Class Boards and their own plurality of presidents, VPs and chairs? There are a myriad of positions that we are expected to vote for, but no one really knows exactly what they do. This extends to the UA as a whole, which for many students is simply “the airport shuttle club.” Therefore, most voters end up voting only for

the names that they recognize. While the Nominations & Elections Committee touts 39 percent as the voter turnout for the recent elections, only a meager 1,671 ballots were cast for the presidential election itself. The Brown Daily Herald recently advocated for making voting for every position mandatory when voting for any position. While we do not believe this will solve the situation, the fact remains that the vast majority of voters are close associates of the candidates and don’t care at all about any of the other elected positions. If the UA wants to make itself more relevant, it first needs to make sure that the student body that it is supposed to represent has a better understanding of its functions. The distinct lack of visibility and information is what leads to our current state of apathy, which in turn is burying any potential that the UA should have. This disconnect between the UA and students needs to be bridged. We also suspect that one of

the causes of this disconnect is the recent trend of tickets appealing to student groups for their endorsements. Only the vice president, as head of the UA’s Steering Committee, must specifically represent the interests of various student organizations. By targeting student groups, other candidates are failing to connect to the individual student, whom they are supposed to represent. By remaining within their segregated ingroups, candidates end up addressing an audience that already shares their opinions and interests. Thus we smile, applaud and shake hands within a bubble of groupthink, disconnected from our peers outside of the bubble. But whatever the reason for this isolationism, as the entity representing the entirety of the student body, the UA is uniquely placed to bridge these gaps between the selfsegregated students enclaves, not propagate them. So please, Undergraduate Assembly, unite our campus. Only then can meaningful change be wrought.

If, like me, you keep yourself sane by chasing after endorphins on a regular basis, you’ve probably noticed it too. The demographic breakdown on each floor of our gym is depressingly predictable. The first floor’s cardio machines are generally occupied by girls, with a few guys sprinkled among the treadmills and stationary bikes. A notable exception is the rowing machines — perhaps rowing is the manliest way to break a sweat. I have never seen a guy on a step machine. Ever. The second floor weight room is where the division becomes obvious. At peak hours, it’s swarming with bros in tanks working on their biceps, and often, there isn’t a girl in sight. My impression the first time I stepped

Since then, I’ve been the only girl in the weight room more times than I can count. And that’s a shame, because weight lifting isn’t just for guys who want to get jacked. Women have a lot

prone to osteoporosis than men are. Inactive adults can lose three to five percent of their body’s muscle mass per decade, so knowing how to build and maintain muscle is important for lifelong health. What’s more, strength training is crucial even for cardio addicts, because it can help to correct muscular imbalances caused by too much

And going to the gym with the aim of getting stronger is much more positively motivating than going with the sole aim of atoning for last night’s pizza. Despite all of its physical and mental advantages, a lot of girls shy away from weight training for fear of a Schwarzenegger-like transformation. I can assure you that this is virtually impossible. Unless running on the treadmill for a few months has inadvertently turned you into Usain Bolt, setting foot in the weight room a few times a week probably won’t turn you into the Hulk.

Penn graduate schools slip in recently released rankings Penn community thinks there is more than rankings

CAROLINE SIMON Staff Reporter

In yet another set of rankings, some of Penn’s graduate schools have slipped — but the Penn community believes that there is more to a good graduate program than a number. Recently, U.S. News & World Report released its annual graduate school rankings for 2016. Although Penn’s School of Nursing snagged the No. 1 spot, the Wharton School dropped from No. 1 to No. 3 among M BA progra ms, Perelma n School of Medicine dropped from No. 4 to No. 5 among top medical schools for research and the Graduate School of Education dropped from No. 5 to No. 7. Penn Law School and the School of Engineering and Applied Science maintained their rankings at No. 7 and No. 19, respectively.

The rankings are calculated by evaluating several factors, including standardized test scores of newly enrolled students as well as employment success of recent graduates. Additional criteria vary across disciplines — for example, the MBA rankings take into account average starting salaries and bonuses of employed graduates, while cur rently practicing lawyers and judges assess the law schools. Although the rankings are designed to help prospective students in their graduate school search, some students at the Graduate School of Education said that rankings didn’t matter when they applied. “I don’t think ranking is that important to many of us,” GSE doctoral candidate Lana Xu said. “If it’s still in the top 10, or even in the top 15, I’m not really disappointed.” Xu added that the rankings for graduate education programs should consider more subjective factors, such as the school’s success in helping the

community. “I really do ca re about the public good a school can create,” she said. GSE student Sarah Deak agreed that she finds rankings to be relatively unimportant. “That wasn’t really something that I considered when coming to Penn and coming to the GSE program,” she said. “It was that personal experience that made a difference for me.” W ha r ton M BA st udent Abhay Nayak also said that rankings are not important because they do not reflect everything that makes Wharton graduate students successful. “As students we’re not really that worried about it because we know that these rankings always have very objective criteria,” he said. “That doesn’t really affect us that much.” Specifically, he said that measuring employment success fails to take into account graduates who do not immediately take jobs, preferring to pursue entrepreneurial ventures. However, Nayak added that the ran k ings’ significance changes based on whether or not Wharton has the coveted No. 1 spot among business schools, compared to rivals Harvard and Stanford. “If we’re number one and they’re number three, we’ll be forwarding that to every one of our friends outside of school,” he said. “But if we’re number three and they’re number one, we’ll downplay the importance of these rankings.” Penn Medicine Senior Vice President of Public Affairs Susan Phillips affirmed that rankings are not necessarily important, even to the administration. “The schools in the top five represent the very best preparation for our nation’s future doctors, and a very narrow scoring margin separates the schools from one another,” she said in an email.

Penn alumnus Jacob Lief is the CEO and co-founder of the Ubuntu Education Fund, a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to providing families in South Africa with proper health care, education and household stability.

A teachable moment Penn alum is working in South Africa to improve education JEFFREY WANG Contributing Reporter

As a senior at Penn, 1999 College graduate Jacob Lief couldn’t imagine that he would impact the lives of thousands of children in South Africa. Today, Lief is the CEO and co-founder of the Ubuntu Education Fund, a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to providing for vulnerable children in South Africa. In the South African language, Nguni Bantu, the word Ubuntu translates to “human kindness towards others.” During his senior year at Penn, Lief decided he would combine his knowledge as an Africana studies major with the Ubuntu philosophy to develop the Ubuntu Education Fund. With the advice of Penn professor Mary Frances Berry and the help of his friends, Lief began his own organization to provide aid for impoverished children in South Africa.

work,” Lief said. “These issues are extremely complex. It doesn’t mean were not having huge success or progress, but it’s often five steps forward and 10 back. We had to learn more than a few lessons the hard way and we have had to learn humility, but I think our ability to acknowledge our shortcomings has allowed Ubuntu to grow into what it is today.” Lief hopes to inspire the next generation of students, philanthropists and social entrepreneurs through his memoir. “I really want this millennial generation to feel empowered to do anything,” stated Lief. “I want them to understand that my experience as a social entrepreneur was riddled with mistakes. Ubuntu was a success not because I did anything extraordinary. I did put myself out there and took risks but, more importantly, I was always open to learning, changing and adapting to new challenges.” Lief’s memoir will be released in May 2015. He hopes to return to Penn in September of 2015 for a book signing.

16 years later, the Ubuntu Education Fund grew to become a leader among NGOs, and has assisted more than 2,000 children and their families. Their mission is to give these children and their families proper health care, education and household stability. Lief said that the care the Ubuntu Education Fund provides is not a privilege — it’s a right that every child in the world deserves. According to Lief, the focus on sustained, intensive interventions over the course of children’s lives optimizes the quality of education and care a child in South Africa receives. Along the way, Lief said he asked himself, “Would this be good enough for my family?” Lief ref lects upon the years it took to establish his organization in his upcoming memoir, “I Am Because You Are: How the Spirit of Ubuntu Inspired an Unlikely Friendship and Transformed a Community,” where he discusses many of the challenges he faced. “Most of what we do doesn’t

Kayvon performance fills Bodek Lounge Wharton freshman Kayvon Asemani rapped about Penn-related issues

BLAKE PITTELL Contributing Reporter

Wharton freshman Kayvon Asemani is on his way to joining the likes of John Legend and Hoodie Allen. Last Thursday night, the freshman hip hop artist performed in Bodek Lounge to a sold out crowd. Aside from his personal life struggles, Asemani sang about themes including unnecessary exclusivity, rejection from clubs, love and the superficial nature of Greek life and hazing. Asemani believes it is important for people, especially those like Penn students who occupy an advantaged position in society, to help others going through tough times. According to College freshman Andrew Valdez, “Kayvon is a name to be known and a movement to be known that has the firepower to go outside of the Penn community.” Another audience member and aspiring rapper, Kiano Walker said, “The show inspired me as an upcoming artist, in that it takes a lot of confidence to spill the heart the way Kayvon did.” Over 100 people bought tickets in advance to see The Kayvon Show, and even more people continued to buy tickets at the door. Before the concert,

in the entertainment industry ever since. Her past roles include parts in “Bridesmaids,” “21 Jump Street” and “The Office.” “If you ever laughed watching “The Office” or “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” I am positive you are going to laugh at this event,” said SPEC Connaissance co-director and College senior Gabriel Jimenez. Kemper is a strong voice for gender dynamics in the entertainment industry. In 2014, she hosted a TED Talk entitled “Women are Funny!” and spoke about her experience as a female comedian in the male-dominated industry.

College freshman Khalil Jones said, “I’m just trying to see my man perform, I think he’s about to turn it up.” Many audience members in the crowd wore a T-shirt with Asemani’s music logo featuring a crown and a bear in the middle. Besides offering T-shirts to his fans, Kayvon uploaded a new song on his website 24 hours before his concert, “Let em Know,” which he performed live that night. “Let em Know,” like many of Asemani’s other songs, was produced by Ellis Wazeter, or ‘Waz.’ “It felt good to see what other people see and feel of your work,” Waz said. “I was especially taken when Kayvon said, ‘It is not what you see in the mirror but what the mirror sees in you.’” Asemani said he feels it is important that his fellow Penn students have the opportunity to experience his music both live and for free on his website. For example, in one of his songs he let the audience know, “I don’t make this for the radio. I make this for you.” Through his music Asemani explains how fortunate he feels to have taken the right path, one of hard work, to get into Penn — a message relatable to many students. By the end of the concert Asemani was carried out of the venue by his fans and signed their T-shirts.

Kemper’s visit to campus will follow comedian Jessica Williams’ talk as part of Women’s Week on Feb. 21, another event on which SPEC collaborated. “One thing we are really excited about is having another strong female entertainer,” Jimenez said. Kemper will speak at 6 p.m. in Harrison Auditorium at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. Tickets will be sold online starting on Monday, April 6, and on Locust Walk starting on Tuesday, April 7. Last semester, SPEC Connaissance hosted a talk by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and activist Antonio Vargas. Past speakers include Retta Sirleaf in 2014, Matthew Perry in 2012 and Seth Meyers in 2010.

with Fetni as one of his worst advising experiences at Penn. “I went in there, and he was clearly expressing that he didn’t believe that I could put the effort to pull it off. But given the fact that I already spent two years taking classes related to that individualized major I have in mind, I am really not afraid of doing work,” he said. “I just want to study what I want to study.” The main reason for the extensive application, Fetni said, is that students who want to pursue individualized majors have little departmental support and thus completing the major is likely to be much more challenging than they expect. “There isn’t a department for individualized majors, so when you declare such a major, you are basically on your own to create a proper academic department. What if your advisor is busy and unavailable? Who do you turn to for help?” he said. Fetni pointed out that students who declare an individualized major are required to have a second major, in case they “get stuck” in completing the classes for the individualized major. Another rationale behind the College’s policies is to encourage students with diverse or specific academic interests

to fully explore the wide range of current majors and minors offered. “The College offers about 60 majors and 70 minors. It’s very unlikely that these fields can’t satisfy a student’s academic interest at all, so we encourage them to think about a combination of several majors and minors,” Fetni said. Fetni stressed the importance of diversity in an undergraduate eduction. “We want students to take advantage of the liberal arts education we have. Have an open mind and learn as much as you can. Figure out your path as you take different classes. Some things are better suited for graduate schools,” he added. Arnold-Lyons said the inadequate support for students who want to do individualized majors is more of a philosophical question than a practical one. “I think the individualized major is something Penn likes to say it has, but not actually something they are supporting,” Arnold-Lyons said. “I would say it’s a rather disappointing experience. Is Penn going to help me learn what I am interested in, or do I have to do this on my own?” While Fetni advocated for a liberal arts education at Penn, Arnold-Lyons is skeptical. “It’s funny how [Fetni] talked about a liberal arts education. I have a friend at Amherst College who can complete his major for eight credits.

Majors at Penn take a lot more credits, so students have less room to take different electives,” Arnold-Lyons said. Compared to the College, individualized majors are much more common at the graduate level. Sorrel Alburger, a master’s of liberal arts candidate, is finishing up her studies in development and social justice, an individualized major she came up with on her own. Alburger is a full-time employee at a financial services firm in New York, and she travels to Penn to take several classes every week. “My work is involved with corporate business, but I have always been interested in the social justice side. I want to shift my focus to the non-profit side, to learn about history, ethics, international development, et cetera. I want to have a broad understanding of society and transform my current skills in business to fit my interests in doing nonprofit work,” Alburger said. She added that her program offers tremendous support for students. “Most people in the MLA program have extensive academic or working experience, so we all had very specific things to study. So in a sense, every degree is an individualized degree, but the advisors made sure every student stays on track, regardless of their fields of study,” she said. “I know that things

are pretty different for undergrads.” The Student Committee on Undergraduate Education addressed individualized majors in its White Paper released earlier this year. “We did research and investigations and found out that while a lot of students are interested in individualized majors, they see the rules and policies as barriers of entry,” SCUE Chair and College junior Laura Sorice said. SCUE recommended more discussions between students and faculty members, because students might not understand how the pieces come together in achieving their academic goal. SCUE says the University should help familiarize students with the process and explain to them the reasons behind it, Sorice said, adding that increased discussion may encourage the University to rethink whether all the polices are truly necessary. “The fact that Penn offers individualized majors is really important. Students should be able pursue their interests and be creative and innovative,” Sorice said. “That said, the individualized major program we have currently is not perfect — not because the academic side is not good or adequate, but mostly because of the policies and rules. Better transparency and communication would help with the situation.”

However, Penn dropped both games on Friday afternoon against Brown as well as the opening game of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubleheader against Yale, before the Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense exploded, scoring 11 runs in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second game to pull back to .500 in the Ivy League. After Penn (13-13, 4-4 Ivy) took the lead in the fourth inning of the first game on freshman Jurie Joynerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single, Brown quickly

the bottom of the frame off of senior pitcher Alexis Borden. The Quakers left the bases loaded in the top of the fifth, and four runs in the next two innings helped the Bears seal their 6-1 victory. The Quakers were once again given an early boost in the second game of the doubleheader against Brown (8-12, 3-5), when sophomore Alexis Sargent crushed a two-run homer to put Penn on the board first for the second straight game. But once again, Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense responded, scoring in the second, third and sixth innings, leaving the Quakers trailing 6-2 entering the top of the seventh. However, Penn refused to go quietly. With two outs and two runners on base, Joyner once again produced some clutch hitting, homering to left-center field and notching her fourth RBI of the doubleheader. Penn managed to get two more runners on base

fell just short when senior captain Vanessa Weaver flied out to right field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think coming off last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games against Harvard and Dartmouth, it felt like we let off the intensity a little bit on Friday,â&#x20AC;? Joyner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our games against Brown really were a sort of wakeup call that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let off the gas for a second and how important it is that we go out there and do our job day in and day out.â&#x20AC;? The Quakers were right back at it Saturday looking to end their weekend skid against the Bulldogs. Yet again, Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fortunes looked promising in the early going when junior captain Lauren Li hit a solo homer in the top of the first. But, just like in the squadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contests on Friday, the Quakers bats faltered. Although the Red and Blue maintained their one run lead for most of the game

Borden for six innings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Yale (5-12, 2-4) brought two runners home in the bottom of the seventh with the help of a few passed balls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was our first real road trip, and I think it was certainly an adjustment playing away from Penn Park,â&#x20AC;? Sargent said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something we struggled with on Friday and early Saturday was making those in-game adjustments that we needed to win, and I think we were having some trouble with making the same mistakes twice.â&#x20AC;? In the final game of the weekend, Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense finally found its groove, eclipsing its run total from the previous three games. The Quakers scored 12 runs on 15 hits, including another Joyner home run â&#x20AC;&#x201D; her third of the year. Sargent contributed by knocking in three runs, giving her a league-leading 25 RBI, while Li also added three RBI. This proved

enough to hold off Yaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sevenrun fifth inning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed to be more ready to fight for every pitch in every inning, and I think on Saturday we made those adjustments and it showed on the scoreboard,â&#x20AC;? Sargent said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think as a team we responded really well to those

first few tough games and think that last win will allow us to have some momentum going into our big games next week. Penn will resume action next week with a midweek game against Villanova before its allimportant divisional matchup against Cornell.

Brandon Copelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NFL dreams are one step closer to a reality FOOTBALL | Penn alum

signs with Detroit Lions

RILEY STEELE Senior Sports Editor

Brandon Copeland is heading to the Motor City. Following a standout performance at the NFL Veteran Combine in Arizona, the former star Penn football defensive end signed a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions late last week.

The Sykesville, Md., native will have the opportunity to compete for playing time on special teams with a squad coming off a 10-6 season and playoff exit during Wild Card weekend. A three-time first team All-Ivy selection during his career with the Quakers between 2009 and 2012, Copeland has spent time on practice squads for the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans since graduating from Penn in 2013. In two seasons in the NFL, the three-time Ivy champion has

yet to play a down in a regular season contest. For Copeland, signing with the Lions made sense because of his connections to various members of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaching staff. Head coach Jim Caldwell is the Ravensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; former offensive coordinator, while Defensive Coordinator Teryl Austin coached Baltimoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondary while Copeland spent time with the 2013 Super Bowl champions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had great visits all over, but with the Lions it really came

down to that familiarity with those coaches being from Baltimore,â&#x20AC;? Copeland told The Baltimore Sun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a great feeling when I left there. I know there are opportunities everywhere, but their Ravens roots gave me a great feeling.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to getting started.â&#x20AC;? After running the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds at the Veteran Combine, as well as posting a 37-inch vertical leap and a 10foot-7 broad jump in training leading up to the event, Copeland

visited with five teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals. He also drew interest from the Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts and St. Louis Rams, among others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of them were great opportunities with great coaching staffs,â&#x20AC;? Copeland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I literally couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gone wrong. [But] Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy I made the decision I made to go to Detroit.â&#x20AC;? A defensive stalwart on Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent Ivy League championship squad, Copeland committed himself to losing weight and increasing his agility as he sought a roster spot with a variety of teams over the past few offseasons. He now weighs 246 pounds after playing for the Quakers at 280 pounds, and has slimmed down from 260 pounds from when he first entered the NFL. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fire in me is burning even brighter now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more hungry than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been. I got the second chance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like life after death. I want to make sure I do everything in my power to make it right this time.â&#x20AC;?

scoreless before the younger Hupfeldt and Doktor each notched their 13th goal of the 2015 campaign just 77 seconds apart to knot the matchup once again. Penn and Brown continued their back-and-forth affair throughout the remainder of the first half, as Bellistri and junior Henry Blynn put the Bears up by two before McGeary cut the Red and Blueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deficit to 8-7 heading into the break. Despite having spent virtually the entirety of the first 30 minutes playing from behind, it did not take long for the Quakers to assert themselves in the third period. Doktor scored an unassisted goal 30 seconds into the half to tie the matchup at eight. After the teams traded scores once again, Doktor found rookie defense Connor Keating for a score with 10:58 left in the third quarter, giving Penn its first lead

of the day, 10-9. Although Bellistri had the Bears back level within 90 seconds, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for the Quakers to seal the end to their losing skid. After four minutes of scoreless action, Brown and senior midfield Joe McCallion each scored to give the Red and Blue the lead, 12-10, heading into the fourth quarter. Consecutive goals by junior midfield Pat Berkery â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his sixth and seventh of the season, respectively â&#x20AC;&#x201D; capped Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four-goal spurt before Jacob scored with 2:03 to play to bring the Bears back within three. Following the win, the Quakers still have a chance to compete in the Ivy League Tournament at seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end. However, in order to do so, Penn will need to win its final two games, the first of which comes against Harvard in Boston next Saturday.

Penn came out stronger on both ends of the field in the second half and chipped away at the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 6-3 lead. The first goal after the break came from junior attack Iris Williamsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free position shot seven minutes in, marking Williamsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second goal of the afternoon. Once again, Northwestern countered quickly, this time getting a goal from sophomore Sheila Nesselbush. The intensity built as the back-and-forth action continued, with Penn scoring two straight to make it 7-6 Wildcats midway through the second. With 16:36 remanining, Rogers-Healion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; known more for her abilities with the pass â&#x20AC;&#x201D; beat Northwestern keeper Bridget Bianco to pull the Quakers within one. Another Nesselbush goal

stretched the Wildcat lead back to two, but Bensen narrowed the gap back to one with 9:43 left. As the clock ran down, Penn used its reliable defense to create an opportunity for an equalizer. With under two minutes to play, sophomore defense Megan Kelly forced a turnover in front of the Northwestern bench, sparking an attack that culminated in a gametying goal from Bensen with 1:36 to play â&#x20AC;&#x201D; her third of the day. Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading scorer nearly put the Quakers over the top in the final seconds of regulation, but her shot missed high, denying her a fourth score. Following the defeat in overtime, the Red and Blue will have a few days of rest before they return to Ivy play on April 11 with a road contest against Harvard.

However, after fighting back, the second quarter began in much the same fashion for the Quakers, as Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dylan Molloy scored his second goal of the day and Tim Jacob found the back of the net to put the Bears ahead, 6-4, with 10:20 left before halftime.

four goals. With 12:52 remaining in the first half, the Quakers finally got on the scoreboard with a Lindsey Smith strike off an assist by sophomore midfield Emily Rogers-Healion, marking Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th goal of the season. Northwestern was quick to respond, however. Less than a minute later, freshman Selena Lasota scored her second goal of the afternoon to make the score 5-1. It appeared as though the Wildcats would enter the half with a four-goal cushion before a stellar shot from Tory Bensen with eight seconds left cut Northwesternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advantage to three heading into the break.

Q&A with Donahue’s first hire for Penn basketball

M. HOOPS | Mihalich

takes over as assistant STEVEN TYDINGS Senior Sports Reporter

Penn basketball hired Joe Mihalich Jr. as an assistant coach on Thursday, replacing Mike Lintulahti and joining assistants Ira Bowman and Nat Graham on staff for new coach Steve Donahue. Mihalich spoke with The Daily Pennsylvanian on Thursday, talking about his history with Philadelphia basketball, his excitement for the job and his goals as an assistant. Daily Pennsylvanian: What is your relationship with coach Donahue and how did you first hear about the job opening? Joe Mihalich: Coach Donahue used to coach at Penn, of course back when he was an assistant coach. My dad was an assistant coach at La Salle. I used to be the water boy for La Salle when my dad was a coach and I used to be at the Palestra all the time. Coach Donahue was always around. He was definitely one of my dad’s friends. He actually came to one of our games when we played up at Babson. Scranton was playing at Babson when I was coaching at Scranton and coach Donahue came to one of our games. We got to know each other a little bit and over the last 10-15 years, I’ve known him since I was a little guy. I guess our relationship goes back a pretty long time.

DP: After going to college and working as a graduate assistant at Villanova, what is it like being an assistant coach in the Big 5? JM: Honest to goodness, it is a dream come true. The Big 5 and college basketball in Philly for my money is the best college basketball in the country. Just to be a part of it, to coach in the Big 5 and to coach at the Palestra. You start thinking about the guys that have played at the Palestra, it just gives you the chills. DP: What is it like coaching and recruiting in the Pennsylvania, and now Philly, area? JM: I think it goes back to Philly basketball. There’s something about Philly basketball players. Some of the greatest high school basketball players are here in Philadelphia. So to be coaching in a hotbed of basketball is a thrill. To recruit for a school like the University of Pennsylvania that basically recruits itself – a great school with a great basketball tradition and an unbelievable facility like the Palestra and the top notch coaching staff with Coach Donahue, it’s just a thrill. DP: In the press release, it said you met with the players. I know you haven’t been on the job for very long but what have you had the chance to do as an assistant for Penn thus far? JM: Yeah, just getting started. Just getting started. I got to meet with [the players]. I got to hang out with a few of them. They’ve stopped by the office, I’ve seen them around and

everything, and I can already tell that these guys, especially these young guys, they’re enthusiastic. They’re ready for … shoot, they’re ready for games right now I think. We’re excited. We’re excited to get going. I’m excited to start working with them. DP: You spoke in the press release about the Ivy League title being the team’s overall goal. What are your personal goals for yourself within this job? JM: My goal that I mentioned in the press release is to bring a lot of enthusiasm and energy. It’s a long season, it really is. Being positive is a competitive advantage. Another one of my goals is to learn from these guys. I want to soak it up. I want to be a sponge. I’m a pretty young coach and this is my first Division I assistant coaching stint. To be around a guy like Ira Bowman who not only graduated from Penn but also played in the professional leagues, played in the NBA, played in the CBA, played overseas, to learn basketball from him. To learn from a guy like Nat Graham who coached with coach Donahue for so long and also played at Penn. And of course, to learn from a guy who’s been to the Sweet 16, who’s been coaching for 30 years, who’s coached in the ACC, I’m just thrilled. I’m a lucky guy right now. I’m honored to be a part of it. I’m really looking forward to getting started.

In game two, sophomore pitcher Mike Reitcheck battled through five and two-thirds innings, scattering eight hits while giving up five runs, although only two were earned. Yale (8-13, 2-6) got within 6-5 as late as the bottom of the sixth before Penn’s bats awoke. Greskoff and senior shortstop Mitch Montaldo hit back-to-back home runs in the top of the seventh, extending the lead to 8-5, before erupting for seven more in the top of the eighth on the back of a basesclearing three-run double by senior first baseman Matt McKinnon. “Up and down the lineup, we’re confident right now that everyone who comes to the plate is either going to get a hit or come through for us,” Montaldo said. “That’s what led to our success this weekend.” The Quakers kept the party going against Brown (6-16, 2-4) the next day, opening the first game with a four-run first inning powered by a Greskoff two-run double and a two-run home run by senior third baseman Jeff McGarry. “He’s starting to get it going good,” Yurkow said of McGarry, who added another home run in

game two. Despite a slow start to the year, the third baseman, who was named second team All-Ivy last season, had six hits and six RBI on the weekend. Senior outfielder Connor Betbeze, senior catcher Austin Bossart and junior second baseman Ryan Mincher also hit home runs in the Quakers’ 13-2 thrashing of the Bears. Mincher hit two homers and drove in four runs in the game. “Everybody just had a good mindset at the plate and we had a good thing going throughout the lineup,” Mincher said. “It’s not just the top 3 guys — it’s all the way one through nine. Everybody’s hitting the ball well.” Senior pitcher Ronnie Glenn, coming off of a nine-inning complete game victory against Harvard

last Monday, delivered another gem as he pitched seven innings, struck out eight and only walked one en route to another complete game win. After the long outing last Monday, Yurkow had no reservations about giving Glenn a long leash for this week’s start. “Especially for a guy like Ronnie, who’s a big strong kid, when you’re pitching guys once a week and they get five or six days’ rest, it’s not really a problem,” Yurkow said of the 6-foot-2, 230-pound right hander. The Quakers took the field at Murray Stadium for one final walloping of Brown. Betbeze and McGarry added home runs and Montaldo hit two to give himself three home runs and seven RBI in four games.

Quakers continue strong start to spring in Burk Cup

ILANA WURMAN | SPORTS PHOTO EDITOR

Penn heavyweight rowing captured the Burk Cup over Northeastern on Saturday, one week after finishing second in the San Diego Crew Classic. The Quakers face Princeton and Columbia next weekend.

ROWING | Lightweights

host Harvard, Cornell OSCAR A. RUDENSTAM Sports Reporter

After last weekend’s impressive showing at the San Diego Crew Classic, Penn heavyweight rowing had no time to kick back and relax. On Saturday, the Quakers were tasked with racing rival Northeastern for the Burk Cup on the Schuylkill. Hailing from Boston, Northeastern is one of the top ranked squads in the nation — and certainly not an opponent to take lightly. But after last weekend’s exposure to fast crews in California, including California and Stanford, coach Greg Myhr was hopeful that his crew would be prepared to handle the test from the North. And prepared they were. In the main event of the day, a varsity eight race for the annual Burk Cup, the Quakers were able to outrow the Huskies by a narrow margin. Finishing the two kilometer course at 5:53, Penn barely bested Northeastern’s 5:55 to hold onto the cup. The victory is important as it gives the crew confirmation that last weekend’s strong showing on the West Coast was not just a stroke of good luck. In the big picture, it gives an early-season psychological edge that may be instrumental as the spring progresses. In the second varsity eight race, Penn emerged ahead of Northeastern again — this time

This is not the first time that Montaldo has experienced a power surge in his baseball career. “In the past, I have had little streaks where I’ve found some power,” Montaldo said. “But hopefully I just keep it going. “Everyone’s thinking the same thing at the plate right now, just trying to stay short and not be too aggressive and over swing,” Montaldo added. The eruption was truly a team effort. Eight different members of Penn’s lineup hit at least one home run and five of them had at least two home runs. According to Yurkow, Penn won’t look to change its strategy after a winning weekend. “We’re just going to continue to do what we’ve done in practice.”

by a narrow margin, finishing at 6:07, just ahead of the Huskies’ 6:09. In the third varsity eight race, Northeastern bested two crews from Penn, one freshman squad and a third varsity eight. Finally, in the varsity four, the Huskies showed strength and picked up a comfortable victory against two Penn boats. One of the oldest cup races — the Childs Cup — awaits next weekend for the heavyweights against Princeton and Columbia. The Quakers will look to extend their ea rly-season success against conference competition, especially the No. 4 Tigers. The lightweights also saw action on Saturday, hosting Cornell and Harvard on home waters. Penn and Cornell rowed it out for the annual MatthewLeonard Cup, while Harvard joined in as a guest crew. The Big Red and Crimson, at the top of the national rankings, proved too much for the Red and the Blue on Saturday. In the main varsity eight race, Cornell finished first with a time of 6:00, followed by Harvard’s 6:06 and Penn’s 6:08. While the Quakers were able to overcome the Crimson in the second varsity eight race, Cornell and Harvard conquered the rest of the day’s races. Although Penn overcame

Cornell in the freshman eight race, Harvard came out ahead of the field by six seconds. In the rest of the races, the Big Red showed why they are entitled to their current number one ranking. Next weekend, the lightweights will leave the comfort of home waters to redeem themselves against Columbia and Yale in the Dodge Cup. The women’s team found itself in Ithaca on Friday to contend for the Orange Challenge Cup against Northeastern and Syracuse. Due to difficult conditions, the main race was moved to Saturday. The rest of the varsity races, which included two varsity eight and two varsity four races, saw Syracuse win each of the four races, often by comfortable margins. In the main varsity four race, Penn finished ahead of Northeastern to capture second place behind a dominant Syracuse. Due to the weather delay, Syracuse was unable to participate in the Saturday races. Despite the extra day, the Red and Blue were unable to best the Huskies in the Orange Challenge Cup race. In rough conditions, Northeastern came out ahead with a time of 6:13, while Penn came in at 6:26.

Senior attack Tory Bensen was key in Penn’s comeback, scoring three goals.

In search of a signature nonconference win against No. 6 Northwestern, No. 11 Penn women’s lacrosse encountered a painfully familiar result. After trailing by as many as four in the first half, the Red and Blue could not capitalize on an epic comeback, falling to the Wildcats, 9-8, in overtime on Sunday, marking the squad’s ninth consecutive loss to Northwestern. Junior midfield Kaleigh Craig scored the winner for Northwestern (8-3) with 13 seconds remaining in overtime to hand Penn (9-2) its second loss of the season, both against teams ranked in the top six. Although the Quakers had their chances in the extra period to steal the game for themselves, they were not able to take advantage. The Red and Blue won all three draw controls in overtime, and junior midfield Nina Corcoran nearly put Penn ahead in the three-minute session, but her shot hit a post. A late turnover by the Quakers allowed for a Wildcat run that ended with Craig’s go-ahead goal – her second score of the day. Penn was initially stifled by Northwestern’s tight defense, digging itself into a hole early by letting up the contest’s first SEE W. LACROSSE PAGE 10

Penn baseball put on quite a power display this weekend. Facing two Ivy League rivals on the road, the Quakers (12-9, 7-1 Ivy) easily dispatched Yale on Saturday and Brown on Sunday. Penn dominated the Bulldogs, defeating them handily, 8-1, in the first game before adding insult to injury with a 17-5 win on the back of four second-game home runs. The hour and a half bus ride to Providence from New Haven for the following day’s doubleheaders didn’t faze the Quakers, as they continued to tear the cover off the ball by defeating the Bears, 13-2 and 14-2, on Sunday. Perhaps coach John Yurkow summarized the weekend best. “We got all four wins, and we did it in style,” he said. The offensive outburst was

a welcome change for a Penn team that narrowly escaped last weekend’s games with three walk-off wins. There would be no suspense in these games, as the Quakers smashed 13 home runs en route to scoring 52 runs in four contests. “About five years ago, [in 2010], we set almost every offensive record for this program,” Yurkow said. “But I don’t know if I ever remember a four-game stand quite like this one even then.” Through two innings, game one looked like it would be a pitchers’ duel between senior pitcher Connor Cuff and junior pitcher Chris Lanham. However, junior outfielder Matt Greskoff cracked the game open in the top of the third inning with a grand slam. The Quakers never looked back, scoring four more runs throughout the game as Cuff and two relievers held the Bulldogs to one run for the victory. SEE BASEBALL PAGE 11

Junior outfielder Matt Greskoff played a key role in Penn’s offensive explosion over the weekend, breaking open the Quakers’ first game with a grand slam in the third inning. The Red and Blue combined for 13 home runs over the weekend en route to an Ivy weekend sweep and a 7-1 start to their Ivy League season.

Freshman midfield Kevin McGeary helped spark the Quakers in their contest against No. 10 Brown on Saturday, scoring Penn’s first goal of the day before adding another right before halftime to help the squad capture its first win in five games. SEND STORY IDEAS TO DPSPORTS@THEDP.COM

Winless in its first three Ivy League contests, Penn men’s lacrosse had nowhere to go but up in its matchup with No. 10 Brown on Saturday afternoon. Mired in a five-game losing streak — all against top-20 opponents — the Quakers rallied from a halftime deficit in Providence with a blitz of second-half

scores to shock the Bears, 14-11. From the contest’s onset, Penn (4-6, 1-3 Ivy) seemed doomed to fall victim to a similar pattern. Due in large part to a relatively inexperienced defense, the Quakers entered Saturday’s matchup having conceded doubledigit goals in seven of its nine games. After the Bears (8-2, 2-1) opened the affair with three consecutive unassisted goals in five minutes, Penn found itself needing to not only buckle down on the defensive side of the ball, but to keep

pace offensively with their Ivy rivals as well. Trailing 3-0, freshman midfield Kevin McGeary converted a pass from junior attack Nick Doktor into the Quakers’ first score of the matchup. However, Brown didn’t take long to respond, clawing back with a goal 24 seconds later from Kylor Bellistri. Despite the setback, Penn kept pushing forward, notching another goal 36 seconds later as senior attack Chris Hupfeldt capped a wild SEE M. LACROSSE PAGE 10 CONTACT US: 215-422-4640
