commitments in cash, which was “higher than expected” and a record for fundraising over one fiscal year. The 2013 to 2018 period was the “quiet phase,” when fundraisers reached out to major donors, while the 2018 to 2021 period is known as the “public phase,” when anyone can donate. Over the past five years, the campaign has funded several notable building projects at Penn.

Class Board 2021 announced Thursday night that it is launching “U-Night,” a new tradition that aims to be the culminating experience of sophomore year to completment Convocation, Hey Day, and gradutation during freshman, junior, and senior year respectively. “We realized there were only three times that the whole class was together,” Class Board 2021 College Co-Chair and College sophomore Charles CurtisThomas said. “[This event is] part of the initiative to make sure that the sophomore experience is highlighted and elevated to the level of the other three years, which it really hasn’t been in the past few years.” Crutis-Thomas said. Curtis-Thomas said the board began brainstorming the event a year ago when they realized sophomores lacked an important event to bring the entire class together. U-Night will take place on April 30 from 8 to 9 p.m. on College Green, Class Board 2021 announced on its Facebook page. The event will feature speeches from Penn President Amy Gutmann and Provost Wendell Pritchett, as well as raffles, free food, and drone photographs. Some raffle prizes will include AirPods, Beats headphones, and other prizes. Class Board 2021 also sent an email announcing the event to all sophomores on Friday morning. The email included a link for students to submit photos to display at U-Night. While the event is free to all sophomores, the Facebook event said the first 1,000 attendees will receive free lan-

The campaign started in 2013 and consists of two phases, the “quiet phase,” in which Penn reached out to major donors, and the “public phase,” in which anyone can donate. The campaign’s goal is to raise $4.1 billion by 2021, which makes the campaign Penn’s most ambitious in history.

Standing before a packed rooftop lounge, Wharton and Engineering senior Johnathan Chen recalled how he focused on prestige as a freshman, which led him to neglect his relationships. “When you realize people aren’t sticking, it was hard for me to realize that it wasn’t them, it was me,” Chen said. “There are some things I learned that I wish I hadn’t learned because they were from mistakes that hurt so much.” Chen is one of nine graduating seniors who spoke at “Failure at Penn,” an event hosted by student group The Signal on Thursday in Harrison College House. The event was the culmination of the group’s Anti-Resume Project, an initiative which aims to normalize failure and promote vulnerability at Penn. As part of the project, the group published “anti-resumes” featuring recent Penn graduates’ failures and unconventional successes. At the event, panelists revealed failures, insecurities, and adversities they have faced at Penn, from normalizing habits like eating only a granola bar a day to internalizing their peers’ prejudices towards them. Anea Moore, a College senior and 2019 Rhodes Scholar, recounted instances where people challenged her identity and dedication to her neighborhood. The urban studies and soci-

Penn First Plus launches initiatives for FGLI students AMY LIU Staff Reporter

Since Marc Lo began his role as Penn First Plus Office executive director at the start of the semester, the office has been collecting input from first-generation, low-income students on the issues they continuously face at Penn. As the semester comes to a close, the office is now planning initiatives to normalize FGLI students’ experiences. In preparation for the fall semester, the P1P will spend this summer implementing faculty and staff training programs on how to better understand the backgrounds of FGLI students and developing a

website to centralize all FGLI resources. Lo said to gauge FGLI students’ concerns, he spent his first semester meeting individual students and leaders of campus organizations, such as the Undergraduate Assembly and the Greenfield Intercultural Center. P1P Faculty Co-Directors Robert Ghrist and Camille Charles also met with students and faculty to learn about current and ongoing issues FGLI students face. Lo also recruited undergraduate students for the Penn First Plus Office Student Advisory Board, which formed in March. In meetings throughout March and April, the student advisory board highlighted the need for facSEE PENN FIRST PAGE 5

UA elects new speaker, treasurer, and secretary They join the UA’s fiveperson executive board CONOR MURRAY Staff Reporter

The Undergraduate Assembly elected the three remaining positions on its executive board for the next academic year, including a new speaker, treasurer, and secretary. The body internally elected College sophomore Jude Dartey as speaker, College sophomore Kevin Zhou as treasurer, and Wharton freshman Dante Diggs as secretary. They were elected at the UA’s April 14 transition meeting, where College juniors Natasha Menon and Brian Goldstein were sworn in as president and vice president, respectively. The entire UA body was eligible to declare their candidacy for the positions and to vote in the elections. As speaker, Dartey will maintain the internal efficiency of the UA by running the body’s weekly meetings, coordinating the UA committees, and appointing associate members. Dartey cited his prior experience as director of the UA Equity and Inclusion Committee as an important qualification, since both roles entail the responsibility of facilitating the projects

Diggs will serve as the UA’s secretary — a role which focuses on writing the body’s meeting minutes, ensuring that both the UA and student body are aware of the UA’s ongoing projects and initiatives, and facilitating the airport shuttle fundraiser that the UA hosts to transport students for Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks. Diggs said he will also create more time for non-UA members to speak at the UA’s general board meetings, including allowing leaders of student groups to present to the UA. He also hopes to continue making the airport shuttle fundraiser more transparent, citing the new amendment in the most recent budget that requires that the UA to report all revenue in its annual budget as a good first step to improve transparency. The airport shuttle fundraiser came under increased scrutiny during the UA election earlier this month, when presidential candidate Maria Curry alleged that the UA executive board was using the shuttle funds for inappropriate services, such as alcohol and food at a social event.

PennDesign’s central plaza, located between Meyerson Hall and Fisher Fine Arts Library, will also undergo significant redesign and renovation. Other building projects funded by the campaign are still in their early stages. The most recent major gift was from Roy Vagelos, a 1950 College graduate, and his wife Diana Vagelos, who made a record $50 million donation in April to the School of Arts and Sciences to fund the construction of a new energy research building. The building, which will bear the names of Roy and Diana Vagelos, will be located on 32nd and Walnut streets. The

building is expected to open its doors to faculty in 2024, School of Arts and Sciences Dean Steven Fluharty said. The Graduate School of Education will receive a 25,000-square-foot expansion with the addition of a new student pavilion to the current building, merging with neighboring Stiteler Hall, and the addition of a two-story building. In October 2018, the charity branch of a hedge fund founded by 1992 Wharton graduate Nicolai Tangen and his wife, Katja Tangen, made a $25 million donation to fund the construction of Tangen Hall. The building will serve as an entrepreneurial hub, serving students seeking to create their own startups.

Free medical transport set to stay

2021 TRADITION >> FRONT PAGE

The program aims to reduce student medical fees DANIEL WANG Staff Reporter

Since Penn rolled out its free medical transport pilot program last fall semester, administrators have decided that the program is here to stay. In September 2018, administrators introduced the program in an email to all undergraduate students. The transport program, called the “Alternative Response Unit,” consists of one sports utility vehicle that is designed to replace ambulances for medical emergencies. The program was launched as a result of student input that the cost of an ambulance ride deters students from seeking medical assistance. Under the transport program, when a student calls the Medical Emergency Response Team for a medical issue, they will be eligible to use the ARU at no cost should they need to be taken to the hospital. At the time Penn launched the program, Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush said the pilot program’s success would be evaluated in the spring, and they will decide if an additional SVU is needed. Rush said the Division of Public Safety will keep the program in place because of its success. Since its inception, the ARU has responded to approximately 152 dispatches as of April 9 during its hours of operation. The ARU will, however, continue operating with one vehicle. The ARU is staffed with a Philadelphia Fire Department lieutenant paramedic and an EMT, with hours of operation between Wednesday and Saturday night from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m., according to DPS. During the ARU’s operation hours, there have not been any ambulance

While this was a major accomplishment for him, the event coincided with his BIBB 109 midterm. Oh took a makeup exam after returning to campus and received a C+. Mental health was another recurring theme throughout the discussions. Wharton senior Lea Chen said she was diagnosed with depression and withdrawn from school two weeks before high school graduation, which prompted her to redefine success and failure for herself. “It’s really taught me to be grateful for things most people don’t think about, like being alive or being in college,” Chen said.

bills. The ARU is aimed to reduce medical fees for students. In past years, students facing medical emergencies have been able to call MERT for free. Once MERT conducted a medical assessment, however, it might have had to call on the Philadelphia Fire Department to transport the student to a hospital. The cost of this ambulance ride can range from $950 for Basic Life Support service to $1,170 for Advanced Life Support service, according to data from the Philadelphia Fire Department. In the past, Philadelphia Fire Department ambulances would often be pulled out of other neighborhoods to respond to MERT calls and thus not be able to respond to emergencies in their respective neighborhoods, Rush said. The ARU uses its own SUV to respond to calls, ensuring that each neighborhood has access to its ambulance at all times. The ARU also dramatically

decreases the wait time for patients in need of medical transport, MERT Chief Gaby Ramirez said. The ARU vehicle is based on campus, while previously ambulances would have to be called in from more distant neighborhoods of Philadelphia. Students agree that the ARU has been successful in reducing medical fees. “I feel like it encourages kids to call MERT, because in the past they were just afraid of getting in trouble. I know there’s the medical amnesty policy, but students are still afraid to pay the cost of the ambulance and tell their parents they have a huge bill like this, so [the ARU] kind of takes the fear away,” College freshman Timothy Lee said. Lee added that once he thought about sending his overly intoxicated friend to the hospital in an Uber. But he said using an Uber as a cheaper version of an ambulance is not the best idea because the student

She added that one winter break, she returned home and realized her younger sister was struggling with similar mental health issues. “To me that was a failure,” Chen said, as she had promised to herself that she would never let her sister go through what she once did. Undergraduate Assembly President and College senior Michael Krone said that when his father died during his junior year of high school, he tried to be strong and self-sufficient for his mother’s sake and did not ask for help for fear of seeming weak. Over time, however, he realized the importance of accepting support. “Asking for help doesn’t make you weak,” Krone said. “It makes you healthy.” Moore said last semester, despite winning the Rhodes Scholarship, she fell behind in classes and was threatened with not being able to gradu-

Moore realized she said she was overwhelmed and sought out help at Counseling and Psychological Services, where she was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. “The biggest L [would be] winning a Rhodes Scholarship and not being able to take it because you can’t graduate,” Moore said, receiving laughs from the audience. Reflecting on the event, co-organizer and Engineering senior Kasra Koushan said he hopes audience members will leave with a renewed sense of optimism and the realization that “seniors don’t have it all figured out either.” “I thought it was really necessary for underclassmen to hear how seniors overcame what we’re going through right now,” Engineering freshman Joey Zhao said of the event. “At Penn, people mask their failures and think that they will just pass without validating them.”

might need medical care while in the car. However, students also said that the ARU could also introduce reckless drinking behavior. College junior Christina Wei said the ARU could potentially decrease students’ personal accountability for their decisions. College sophomore Karen Kim also said the ARU may normalize risky behavior with alcohol and drugs. “Normalizing this kind of behavior puts students in danger, but also makes it unfair for those who get arrested for doing such things and not receiving the proper healthcare like Penn students are,” Kim said. Rush said there has not been a noticeable increase in MERT dispatches since the ARU has been put in place. If a student is transported twice by the ARU for reasons relating to drugs and alcohol, their family will receive a referral to the Office of Alcohol and Other Drugs.

terns and t-shirts. Class Board 2021 President Lizzie Youshaei, a College and Wharton sophomore, said students will show their unity by lighting the lanterns when they relate to certain aspects of the speeches made throughout the night. Youshaei said the event is meant to address the challenges of sophomore year by bringing the Class of 2021 together. “I think your sophomore year is really different from your freshman year,” she said. “It’s a lot easier sophomore year to feel disillusioned and lost on campus. You’re not the baby anymore.” Although the initial idea was to have the event be “Declared Major Day,” Youshaei said the board quickly realized this would not be inclusive of all sophomores, since the four undergraduate schools have different timelines for choosing courses of study. Class Board 2021 also considered holding an event similar to Hey Day, but decided to give U-Night its own identity focused on academic individuality and unity.

“We wanted to make it a celebration of everyone’s successes so far and hard work,” Youshaei said. College Co-Chair and College and Wharton sophomore Daniel Gordon said an important part of the event will be “talking about how we’ve all had different experiences, but we will come together as a Class of 2021 to thrive, succeed, and help each other out.” Class Board 2021 hopes U-Night will establish a new tradition that will become an integral part of the Penn experience. “Most of the Penn traditions were created hundred of years ago,” Gordon added. “Now we’re creating the tradition of the future, and we’re really excited to see where this future will go.” Youshaei said she hopes the event will bring the sophomore class together. “This event is to remind the class that we are all in this together and a lot more similar than we are different,” she said. “I really see this night as being a moment that everyone will look back on as just a really special evening.”

Penn Athletics’ response to grievances from volleyball players isn’t enough

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN EDITORIAL BOARD

n April 18, The Daily Pennsylvanian published an investigative report detailing the alleged mistreatment that members of the Penn volleyball team experienced under coach Iain Braddak. After eight players filed formal grievances were filed with Penn Athletics against Braddak for his conduct during the season, the administration called for a team-wide mediation session, referred to by Penn Athletics as restorative justice. At this session, held in February, the student-athletes shared their grievances with Braddak in a group setting, yet there has been no follow-up sessions since, nor has there been any kind of communication from Penn Athletics regarding next steps, according to multiple players. Penn athletic’s failure to follow up and Braddak’s behavior, as described by Penn volleyball players in the article, is unacceptable. Penn Athletics must listen to student-athletes, follow up on the restorative

justice process, and take steps to improve the situation with Braddak. One of the incidents of alleged misconduct occurred while doing defensive drills during practice. A player was singled out for missing two balls, and Braddak subsequently instructed his assistant coach Julia Malseed to hit the player in the face with the next ball in order to teach her to keep her hands higher. Being tough is valued in athletics, but there is a difference between employing strict coaching methods and telling someone to hit a player in the face. Penn Athletics claims to value the student-athlete experience, but it is clear that it is falling short in seeing this through. “When our student-athletes arrive on campus as freshmen, it is certainly our hope that all of them will leave four years later having had a positive intercollegiate experience,” Penn Athletics wrote to the DP in a 2018 statement. “The coaches and staff members involved with Penn Athletics take pride in

ALEC DRUGGAN

the efforts they make to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience, and that process is ever-evolving as issues such as mental health continue to emerge.” Penn Athletics’ lack of action following restorative justice is deeply troubling. “We look forward to working with the coaches and student-athletes in the weeks and months ahead to provide a more positive experi-

ence moving forward,” Senior Associate Athletic Director Rudy Fuller wrote in a statement to the DP. However, multiple players have described feeling left in the dark since the mediation session. The objective of restorative justice is to collectively create an action plan to avoid future issues. Administrators must communicate with the athletes and tell them what measures they are taking to earnestly address their

grievances. “We were all just sent off with no plan to follow up and no plan for further action. In this meeting, some people practically admitted how they were on the verge of selfharm because of that season, and we were just simply dismissed,” Carmina Raquel wrote in a journal entry soon after restorative justice. “Where is the athletic administration in all this?” Multiple players estimated that around 75% of the team has experienced mental health issues since Braddak started at Penn. The allegations against Braddak are serious, and demand a wellthought-out, nuanced approach from Penn Athletics. Restorative justice requires administrative action too, and enough to solve a problem of this gravity. It’s time that administrators start listening to student-athletes’ grievances, and take more action to address the complaints of Penn volleyball players.

MORE WITH MORRISON | Parents can provide comfort when things here at Penn don’t go how we planned

ull disclosure: I need to get better about calling home. I like to pretend that I keep to a pretty rigid schedule about dialing my mom or dad. I like to pretend that I consistently call home every other day, at least. In reality, it’s more like once every three days, and when I’m at my busiest, I can barely be bothered to call home once a week. It is all too easy to get swept up in the rush of my work and social life that, though I’m ashamed to say it, I completely forget the people who are waiting for me back home. I need to do better. And, although my experiences are entirely my own, given the jam-packed schedules of many students on this campus, I’m certain that I’m not alone in my struggle to carve out time to talk to mom, dad, or whatever friend, relative, or support system we have at home. Although sometimes it might feel as if calling home is an unnecessary drain on time, it’s important for our well-being and our parents’ state of mind to stay in touch, and to call even when we don’t have a problem that needs to be fixed or complained about. At Penn, it is astoundingly easy to get lost in the heat of the moment and be consumed by the triple

pressure to succeed in academics, extracurriculars, and social life. It’s easy to let ourselves be entirely derailed by setbacks that might seem major now, but will be completely irrelevant a year or five years down the line. Parents are a great source of this perspective, and can provide comfort and reassurance when things here at Penn don’t go exactly the way we planned. In the meantime, most parents are usually pretty amenable to listening to their kids whine, especially if they haven’t talked to them for a while. Whenever I need to vent to someone, I know that I can always count on my parents to lend me an ear, whether it’s about that last exam that didn’t go well or that homework assignment that took forever to complete. However, parents can do more than just listen — they’re pretty good at giving advice, too. Although it’s easy to forget that one’s parents were young once too, our parents once grappled with many of the same problems that we’re working through right now. Whether it be dating advice, filing taxes, or acing a job interview, parents are a resource that too often go untapped. Our parents are human just like us, and have made plenty of mistakes in their pasts. By talking and listen-

And, although their nagging can sometimes be annoying, it’s good to be reminded from time to time that it’s important to get enough sleep, eat well, and go to Van Pelt every once in a while.

Penn, make summer courses more accessible to students from all backgrounds UROOBA UNPLUGGED | The benefits summer courses exude ripple onto many aspects of students’ academic careers

ith summer only a few weeks away, this is usually the time of year when Penn begins advertising the opportunity to take summer courses online, on campus, or abroad. For many students, summer courses are a great option. They offer the chance to catch up on requirements, take classes towards dual degree programs, and possibly lighten course loads for the academic year. The academic benefits of summer courses are staggering. For Penn students who may need to bulk up with five or six credits a semester, summer courses offer a great alternative to ease the burden during the academic year and maybe even get a GPA boost.

The high cost of summer credits on top of restrictive summer financial aid policies make the cost of summer programming extremely unaffordable for students.” mit to making summer courses an accessible option for all Penn students. Summer courses are an incredibly difficult financial option. There are hefty price tags for oncampus summer credits, such as $4,392 for a College credit and up to $5,550 for a Wharton credit. In order to even apply for financial aid during the summer, students are required to register for at least two credits — making the price tag for students who wish to receive aid go up to a minimum of $8,784 per credit and $11,100 per

credit, respectively in the College and Wharton. These costs do not include the cost of housing over the summer. Most summer subletting options in the area can be an additional $600 to $1,000 per month. In addition to already high costs and the two credit minimum, Penn’s grant-based policy does not apply to summer financial aid. The summer financial aid therefore primarily includes loans — meaning that students would have to take on additional debt. For this reason, on their financial aid infor-

mation sheet, the office of Student Registration and Financial Services “recommends that you attend summer classes only if absolutely necessary.” Students who are taking summer courses also forgo the financial benefits of working full time — something that many Penn students simply cannot afford to do. Some Penn financial aid packages require students to contribute a summer earnings requirement to help their families cover the cost of tuition during the year. Although Penn has implemented a new Summer Waiver Award Program, summer courses fall under the “Do not qualify” list as a reason for exempting you from the summer earnings requirement. The entire system of summer courses at Penn benefits mainly wealthy students. The high cost for credits and the financial aid restrictions exclude many Penn students from the benefits that summer courses offer. Meanwhile, students who can afford the price of summer courses are granted the option of using them to ease their

Penn Dems aims to increase local voter turnout The group is increasing awareness of local primary

large seat on the City Council, as well as for the City’s Commissioner and Sheriff. Penn Dems voted in late February to endorse Jamie Gauthier, who is running against incumbent Jannie Blackwell for City Council’s 3rd District, which includes Penn. Penn Dems Political Director Owen Voutsinas-Klose said Gauthier, who graduated from Penn in 2004 with a master’s in City and Regional Planning, was an “easy choice” to endorse. Penn Dems has also endorsed several other local candidates and campaigned on behalf of them. In addition to the upcoming Philadelphia primaries, there was a March special election in Philadelphia for a representative to the Pennsylvania State House. Voutsinas-Klose said the club hosted a phone-banking session shortly before spring break for Penn graduate Movita Johnson-Harrell, who won her special election to the Pennsylvania State House. “[Johnson-Harrell] had a history-making candidacy, and she’s now the first Muslim woman ever elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives,” said Voutsinas-Klose, who is a College sophomore. “There are a lot of people of color and Muslim Americans in Pennsylvania, and now they can look to her as their voice in government.” Johnson-Harrell studied at Penn, earning her associate’s and bachelor’s in Applied Sciences in 2001

Philadelphia’s local election primary is approaching on May 21. In 2018, just one out of six voters in Philadelphia turned out for the primary election, and Penn Democrats is working to increase voter turnout by raising awareness on campus about this year’s local and state primaries. Penn Dems is planning absentee ballot drives and hosting local candidates to speak at club meetings on campus. The group has also launched several initiatives to increase voter turnout, such as the Franklin Cup competition in collaboration with Penn Leads the Vote, which is a point-based competition that lets Penn students earn prizes by tabling and getting their friends to register to vote. “Local elections sometimes get less coverage but they are nonetheless still very important,” Penn Dems Communications Director and College freshman Tamara Wurman said. “It’s super integral that we get our voices heard because the changes that people in City Council or City Commissioners are going to be pushing for directly are going to impact us.” Penn student voters will be casting their ballots for the mayor, City Council representative for the 3rd District, seven candidates for an at-

and 2002, respectively, as well as a Master of Social Work in 2004. She now represents the 190th District, which includes areas of West Philadelphia northwest of Penn’s campus. Wurman, who is a Daily Pennsylvanian staff member, also said that Johnson-Harrell’s mission aligned with the club’s goals. “[Johnson-Harrell] talks about empowering young people and pursuing a lot of progressive legislation, things like education and jobs,

economic opportunity,” Wurman said, adding that these are also central goals for Penn Dems. Voutsinas-Klose said it was important to support Johnson-Harrell even in a region with 90% of Democratic voters because she was running against independents in a special election, which tends to have lower turnout. Penn Dems President and College sophomore Emma Carlson said Dems chooses who to endorse based on unique situations and

knowledge of a candidate. “We’re pretty careful to not endorse a single Democrat over another until we’ve met a lot of them or talked with them,” Carlson said. “We’re trying to stay neutral in most of the races, so we’re just going to keep people informed and getting them to make their own decision,” Voutsinas-Klose added. Wurman said their protocol for endorsements is not “super specific,” but that two-thirds of the executive board votes to endorse after

hearing the candidate speak and listening to the feedback of club members. Penn Dems is also hosting a City Commissioner Forum, a discussion moderated by Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Jonathan Lai, on April 23. While Penn students can register to vote in Philadelphia, the primary election on May 21 will take place after final exams and commencement. Students not on campus can file an absentee ballot to participate in the upcoming election.

multiple times every semester for several years, and possibly will be virtually available for faculty. The office also aims to calculate the typical costs of a semester’s textbooks so that Student Financial Services can offer a more accurate financial aid package. Lo said the P1P also plans to distinguish training methods for faculty from training methods for other advising roles

including work-study supervisors, academic advisors, and members of Vice Provost for University Life. “This is so they are aware of the resources available to students based on their financial aid, the various ways to approach advising students to identify strengths and growth opportunities, and making sure not to approach students who have outed themselves as FGLI

as coming from a deficit,” Lo said. The office’s second major project, a one-stop website for all FGLI information and resources, is crucial because Penn is a large and decentralized university, Harris said. The website, which the office aims to launch over next fall, will cover topics such as financial aid, academics, social events, alumni support, and in-

ternational student needs. Harris said the student advisory board also discussed possible long-term initiatives, such as a P1P newsletter and joint community events with the different FGLI student groups. Lo said the office has also discussed greater focus on food insecurity, a budgeting program with SFS, and a campus-wide “Gen Week.”

DARTMOUTH No. 5 PENN

The last time Penn men’s lacrosse was the Ivy League champion, coach Mike Murphy was still playing col-

lege lacrosse for Duke. “Whew, that makes me feel old,” Murphy said with a laugh. Thirty-one years later, Murphy was on the sidelines when the Quakers made history by capturing their fifth Ivy League title in program history. Despite being picked in some preseason polls to finish in the bottom half of the conference, No. 5 Penn dominated Dartmouth on Saturday in a 22-6 contest to capture its first outright Ivy League title since 1986 and the third in program history.

“I don’t think we spend too much time looking at those polls, whether we’re at the bottom of them or the top of them,” Murphy said. “I think the main reason we’re here today is because our seniors understand the importance of focusing on the work, ourselves, and improving daily by taking it one game at a time.” On Saturday afternoon, Penn (8-3, 6-0 Ivy) outshot the Big Green (210, 0-5), 64-27, while winning 26of-31 faceoff opportunities. Junior attackman Adam Goldner chipped in five goals while freshman midfielder

Sam Handley added four of his own. “It’s important to win such a high percentage of faceoffs, but we also operate at a selfless pace,” Murphy said. “When we score, we get the ball back and generate a shot pretty quickly. We also played great defense, had good clears and ridebacks, and that got us a lot of offensive success.” The Big Green opened the scoring on a goal by sophomore attackman George Prince, but Penn senior SEE IVY CHAMPS PAGE 10

If the last two games were a reminder of how competitive the Ivy League is, then this game certainly reminded the League how competitive the Quakers can be in the postseason. Now they know they’ll be there. No. 12 Penn women’s lacrosse clinched a berth in the Ivy League Tournament after dominating host Columbia, 21-7. Penn (10-4, 4-2 Ivy) is the only school to have qualified for all 10 Ivy League women’s lacrosse tournaments. Before visiting the Lions (4-10, 1-5), the Red and Blue were on a two-game losing streak that included narrow defeats to Ivy rivals Dartmouth and Princeton, both of whom are nationally ranked. “Coming off of that losing streak, we were so pumped the whole bus ride, the energy was great,” junior midfielder Erin Barry said. “We knew that we had to win this game to get into the [Ivy League] Tournament, so that was our main focus. I think everyone just having each other’s backs out there was great.” And sure enough, the team’s desire was evident right from the first whistle.

DANIEL WITTMER Sports Reporter

REBEKAH CANTY Sports Reporter

Penn men’s and women’s golf concluded their seasons at the Ivy League Championship this weekend, with both teams managing middle of the pack finishes. The men finished tied with Dartmouth at 35-over-par, and the women finished in fifth in a tightly contested field, just six shots out of the top three with a score of 55-over-par. For the men, the first day at Hidden Creek Golf Club ended with a 21-over-par 305, but the Red and Blue were scrappy, totaling only 14-over par over the final two days of action, a lower two-day score than eventual Ivy League champion Princeton. After the front nine on day one, the Quakers were well in contention, just six-over-par on the round, but the course conditions took a turn for the worst when the Red and Blue started the back nine. “We were in that second wave, unfortunately, and there was a storm blowing in,“ coach Jason Calhoun said. “It was definitely a disadvantage being in that wave, but at the same time it’s nothing we haven’t seen before. … When we got hit with the wind, we were a little tentative.” On days two and three, the Red and Blue came into their own and played more controlled golf. Sophomore Mitchell Cornell finished tied for third in the tournament, enough to earn him first team AllIvy honors. Penn’s seniors also played well, as Zareh Kaloustian finished at eight-over-par along with senior Josh Goldenberg to fin-

Nobody’s perfect. Well, nobody except for Jennifer Brann on Sunday. Brann, a junior pitcher for Penn softball, threw the program’s second-ever perfect game in the team’s seriesfinale win against Brown.

ish tied for 13th. The Quakers took advantage of the par 5s, totaling eight-under-par for the weekend, but they played the par 4s in 50-over-par and the par 3s in 18-over-par. All of the momentum was in the women’s favor entering the final day of play on Sunday at The Ridge at Back Brook, but the Quakers struggled, posting a score of 21-over-par and finishing 18 shots off the lead. The Red and Blue outplayed the competition on day one, posting a 297 to give them an outright lead. Much of this early success was due to freshman Leila Dizon, who carded the second-lowest score of anyone on the course at even-par 72. On day two, wind gusts circled the course at upwards of 25 miles per hour, and the scoring average was 78.43. Despite having the thirdworst round at 313, the Quakers still found themselves well in contention, only three strokes off the lead. After the wind died down and the rain stopped, Sunday was much more amenable for posting low

scores, as four teams scored under 305. Sophomore Rina Jung was able to take advantage of these conditions with the third-best individual score on Sunday at even-par 72, but the rest of her team combined for 21-over-par, finishing 18 strokes behind champion Harvard. “When you get a day like today that was really, really great scoring conditions, you’ve got to be able to make some birdies out there,” coach Mark Anderson said. “It was the best scoring day that we had, and Harvard took advantage of that.” The end result, albeit not what the Quakers were hoping for, was still impressive, as the young squad started three freshmen and was the only team in the Ivy League without a senior in the lineup. For the first time since 2012, the Red and Blue had two All-Ivy honorees, as Jung was named to the first team and freshman Mary Shin was selected for the second team.

percentage, while Brown (1021, 3-12) is tied for seventh in the League with Cornell. The sweep for the Red and Blue comes after a loss against Saint Joseph’s on Wednesday. In the first game of the series on Saturday, the Quakers beat the Bears, 6-3. Brown scored three runs in the second inning, but that’s where its offensive production ended. Penn, on the other hand, strung together six runs in the game. Freshman center fielder Emma Nedley scored two runs, one in the fourth and one in the fifth inning. Freshman pitcher Julia Longo pitched all seven innings, and the defense did a nice job of backing her up, committing just one error. Saturday’s second game was closer, but the Red and Blue managed to pull off the

4-3 win. The first four innings featured a pitcher’s duel, as neither team scored a run. Brann threw 4.1 innings and gave up just one run, an outing that would foreshadow her perfect game on Sunday. Entering the seventh frame, Penn was trailing by one run. The group rallied, with Nedley knocking in sophomore right fielder Kayla Ketring to tie the game at three. The next batter, freshman left fielder Corrie Phillips, had the chance to end the game — and that’s exactly what she did. Phillips came up clutch and drove in senior shortstop Jessica England to walk it off. Sophomore pitcher Abigail Abramson picked up the win for Penn. She pitched the last SEE PERFECT GAME PAGE 10

that allowed Barry to convert from a free position less than a minute into the game. Columbia, who is averaging a League-worst 8.92 goals per game, would briefly retake the lead at 2-1, yet the Red and Blue started to pick up their pace and intensity. The visitors would go on a blistering 11-0 run in a 12-minute span, including hat tricks from a pair of freshmen in attacker Taylyn Stadler and midfielder Michaela McMahon. On their way to building a 14-3 halftime lead, the Quakers had 18 shots on target out of 21 total, and won 11-of-17 draws. “I thought we did some good things against Princeton,” coach Karin Corbett said. “And I was hoping we could come out and attack Columbia as hard as we did Princeton, which we hadn’t done as much [this] season, so I was really pleased to see the team answer

who has been at the heart of almost everything that the Red and Blue offer offensively. “Erin’s a true midfielder,” Corbett said. “She plays with a ton of fight and heart and she’s been an important player on our team since her freshman year.” Having now snapped their losing streak, the Quakers can look forward to building some momentum ahead of the Tournament as they visit Harvard next Saturday. Despite having already clinched a berth, to be hosted by Columbia as well, Corbett has her sights firmly set on ending the regular season positively. “[Harvard is] getting better every game,” Corbett said. “It’ll be their Senior Day, and we’ve got to play our best.” Penn will either be the No. 3 or 4 seed in the Ivy Tournament, as the Quakers cannot catch Dartmouth or Princeton due to the head-to-head tiebreak. The Red and Blue will be the No. 3 seed with a win over Harvard or a Cornell loss.

For Barry, her three goals in the game means she now joins teammate Gabby Rosenzweig in Penn’s 100 goals club. Barry credits her previous mentors and Corbett for helping her reach this milestone. “I give my high school coach a lot of credit,” Barry said. “She taught me everything I know basically, and same with [Corbett]. I definitely came in [to Penn] freshman year not where I am now. She gives you advice in a way that doesn’t make you feel bad about yourself, but makes you want to impress her and want to grow as a player and a person.” Likewise, Corbett has huge praise for the star midfielder,

Penn tennis finishes season with Ivy League sweeps The women won their final five matches of the year MAX HAN Sports Reporter

Regardless of how bumpy the journeys may have been, both Penn men’s and women’s tennis finished their seasons with backto-back wins against Yale and Brown this weekend. Penn men’s tennis has been craving an Ivy League victory all season long. Affected by injuries, the team struggled in its first five conference matchups. That drought finally came to an end when the Quakers took down Yale by a score of 4-1. Saturday’s matchup started with Penn (18-10, 2-5 Ivy) losing the doubles point to the Bulldogs (11-13, 0-7). Fortunately for the Quakers, the upperclassmen stepped up in their singles matchups: Senior Kyle Mautner and junior Max Cancilla each defeated their opponents in straight sets. Dmitry Shatalin lost his second set in a tiebreaker, but in the deciding set, the senior

In his final outing for the Red and Blue, senior captain Kyle Mautner dominated both of his weekend opponents, winning in straight sets.

flipped the switch and swept his opponent, 6-0. Freshman Edoardo Graziani also won his match to help secure the overall victory. In Sunday’s matchup against Brown, the Red and Blue continued to rely on their seniors. After winning the doubles point, they faced sizable challenges from the Bears, who took both the No. 2

and No. 3 singles points. Once again, Mautner, Shatalin, and Cancilla pushed the Quakers over the finish line. All three took care of business in straight sets at their respective positions. Their performances amounted to a 4-2 Penn victory, and after a season of challenges and obstacles, the group found

some consolation in the last couple of matchups. “I’m happy that the team didn’t get discouraged, and we were able to bounce back and have a really positive weekend,” Mautner said. On the women’s side, the Quakers (16-5, 5-2) also beat Yale (12-11, 4-3) and Brown (10-13, 2-5) on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The team finished the season with a fivegame winning streak. Neither opponent posed much of a challenge for the Red and Blue. Coming into the weekend, Yale had a legitimate chance to challenge Princeton for the Ivy League title, but its hopes were crushed at Penn’s Hamlin Tennis Center on Saturday. Penn took the doubles point and the first, fifth, and sixth singles matches in straight sets. Despite losing one point at the second singles

spot, Penn was ultimately propelled to a victory against a tough Ivy opponent. Sunday’s contest against Brown was the Quakers’ last of the regular season. For the seniors on the team, Marta Kowalska and OJ Singh, who is also a DP staffer, it was the last match of their Penn careers. The Quakers got off to another quick start by grabbing the doubles point. In singles, freshman Yulia Bryzgalova and sophomore Mimi Levine both swiftly defeated their opponents before Singh put the nail in the coffin, winning her second set and giving the Quakers a clean sweep over the Bears. Both teams waved goodbye to the seniors after Sunday’s matches. “Finishing up with a win with the entire team at home is amazing. It’s the best thing I could have asked for,” Singh said.

Reflecting on this season and her entire Penn career, Singh also expressed immense gratification for her teammates, coaches, and the journey they have been through together. “It’s hard to explain how much the last four years have meant to me. I’m thankful. My coaches took a chance at me four years ago and my teammates here,” Singh said. “We have been through injuries; we have been through ups and downs. We have been through moments of low confidence and here we are, standing strong. Five in a row in the Ivies, and I’m just so very proud of everyone.” The women’s team finished the season tied for second in the Ivy standings, while the men came in at sixth. Both squads were able to close the season on a hot streak and send off their seniors on a high note.

midfielder Tyler Dunn found senior attackman Simon Mathias, who evened the score on a man-down opportunity. Dunn found Handley three minutes later to give the Red and Blue their first lead of the game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one that they would not give up for the remainder of the game. Penn continued its scoring to take a 5-1 lead to cap off the first quarter. In the second, junior attackman and leading Big Green scorer Ben Martin slipped by the defense and buried a goal in the top right part of the net to stop the five-goal Quaker run. Goldner answered just 38 seconds later, igniting a 7-2 run to send the Red and Blue into halftime with a 12-4 lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of our runs were thanks to [junior faceoff man] Kyle Gallagher, who was pulling off some acrobatic moves that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen before,â&#x20AC;?

we were scoring goals with our third and fourth midfield lines and making really nice plays, and also because this team embraces the pace at which coach [Mike] Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense operates,â&#x20AC;? Murphy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been telling these guys all year: This is the best and deepest team that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had in my 10 years here.â&#x20AC;? Murphy noted that the team improved on the defensive side â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something he stressed that the team needed to work on after last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win at Harvard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really played better as a team today, and that was the focus for us,â&#x20AC;? Murphy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still had a couple lapses today defensively, and we still have some things we need to work on, but by and large,

we played better defense. Our whole M.O. this year has been improvement, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be our focus.â&#x20AC;? The game also marked the final regular season game at Franklin Field for the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seniors, including Dunn and goalie Reed Junkin. Next up, the Quakers will travel to Wilton, Conn. to take on Vermont to finish off regular season play. Their sights remain set on the first week of May, when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll travel to Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kraft Field for the Ivy League Tournament. Though the Quakers had already clinched the No. 1 seed in the tournament, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win provides them with even more momentum heading into next month.

PERFECT GAME

forward to next season and beyond, but Anderson still sees one area of improvement that can get the Red and Blue over the hump and into the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you start doubting yourself and not committing fully to your shot, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to play good golf,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted them to all send me their thoughts on the weekend, what they did well and what could have gone better.â&#x20AC;? With All-Ivy honorees returning next season for both teams, the Quakers seem to have a bright future ahead of them.

two frames and allowed no runs to hold the Bears at three until the end of the contest. As successful as Saturday was for the Quakers, Sunday turned out to be even better. Brannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect game included 10 strikeouts, and the offense gave her some breathing room, even though she needed very little. After scoring three runs in the third inning, the Red and Blue extended the lead to five when junior Clare

Sebastianelli hit a pinch-hit two-run home run. Brannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect game comes seven years after Alexis Borden threw Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-ever on May 2, 2012. The performance also marks Brannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th career complete game. Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senior Day was also this weekend, as the home fans said goodbye to Sam Pederson, Sarah Cwiertnia, Hannah Gibbons, and England. Up next for the team is a Thursday meeting against Drexel before the Quakers travel to Columbia for their final Ivy series of the regular season.

The last two weeks have been rough for Penn baseball, and this weekend was no exception. It started well; in the first inning of their first matchup against Yale (14-21, 8-7 Ivy) on Saturday, the Quakers were up by a score of 3-0. Sophomore left fielder Eduardo Malinowski, junior right fielder Peter Matt, and freshman shortstop Josh Hood all singled in runs to get Penn going. In the subsequent 26 innings, however, things went south. The Red and Blue (19-14, 8-7) were outscored by the Bulldogs in that time by a combined 23-9 and were swept in the three-game series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like we were satisfied with the three runs. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to keep attacking. I felt like the general effort and energy level was down a bit this weekend. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the timely hits weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re capable of making,â&#x20AC;? Malinowski said. Despite losing their early lead in the first game, the Quakers still had a good chance to come away with a victory. Matt hit a two-run single in the bottom of the eighth inning to put the Red and Blue back up by a 5-4

have also lost four consecutive games in the Ivy League. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to change our approach at the plate. We got away from it this weekend. We started swinging at balls out of the zone, trying to do too much at the plate rather than keeping it simple. We need to build some confidence back up so we can get back to our winning track,â&#x20AC;? Malinowski said. The Ivy League Championship Series is not until the weekend of May 18. The Quakers still have some time to right the ship, but that window is quickly closing. If the Red and Blue do not get back on track soon, they might miss the postseason entirely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to put this series behind us and come back out with confidence,â&#x20AC;? Malinowski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal has to be to win out in the Ivy League.â&#x20AC;? Their next chance to end the losing streak comes Wednesday at home against Seton Hall. Their next conference matchup is a three-game series next weekend at Cornell. This weekend series pushed the Quakers into a tie for third place with Yale. Both teams sit behind Columbia and Harvard. Columbia, Harvard, and Yale are all currently riding win streaks of at least two games, so a tough task lies ahead for the Quakers to climb the standings.

Sophomore left fielder Eduardo Malinowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six-hit weekend performance included a 3-for-4 game on Saturday. Across all three games against Yale, Malinowski tallied two doubles and scored four runs.

score entering the final frame. However, Penn committed two errors in the top of the ninth, leading to two Yale runs and a 6-5 deficit that later became the final score. In the second game, which began Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubleheader, the Quakers fell behind early, giving up two runs in the top of the first inning and two more in the third to go down by a score of 4-1. With the help of a two-run home run by Hood, a sacrifice fly by Malinowski, and a Yale error, the Red and Blue were able to tie the game at seven in the seventh inning, but two more runs from the Bulldogs in the eighth ended up securing them the victory. In the final contest of the series, the Quakers werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to get anything going on offense, as Yale pitcher Kumar Nambiar threw a complete-game shutout. Junior starter John Alan Kendrick kept the Red and Blue in the game, giving up three runs in six innings, but the Penn bullpen gave up five more, and the team ultimately lost, 8-0. Malinowski, in particular, had an excellent offensive series. He finished with six timely hits, scored four runs, and drove in three. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough for the Red and Blue to come away with a victory. The Quakers have now lost five straight games after starting the season 19-9. They

DP Sports Player of the Week: junior pitcher Jennifer Brann SOFTBALL | Brann hurled a perfect game against Brown ISAAC SPEAR Associate Sports Editor

Twenty-one up, 21 down. Junior right-hander Jennifer Brann set down every Brown batter she faced Sunday afternoon for the second perfect game in program history. Brann joins one of the most exclusive record clubs in all of Penn sports, as the only other pitcher to throw a perfect game for the Quakers was Alexis Borden seven years ago. Leading the Red and Blue with just under 78 innings pitched and a 2.61 earned run average, Brann has been similarly dominant all year long. Her perfect start gives her six complete games on the season,

which also leads the team. Of the 21 hitters she faced, Brann struck out 10, tying her career high. For the other 11 outs, she got some quality help from the defense. The seven fielders behind Brann and her battery mate, sophomore Sarah Ketring, did their jobs, but the defensive highlight wouldn’t come until the final inning. A little bloop in the air to the left side of the infield from Brown senior pinch hitter Sofia Venegas looked like trouble before sophomore third baseman Lucy Yang snatched it out of the air. It was a dramatic finish to the most dominant pitching performance we’re likely to see in the Ivy League this season. Brann’s masterpiece secured the sweep over the Bears for Penn softball after two gritty wins in the doubleheader on Saturday. In game one, the

Quakers went down three runs before scoring six unanswered to win it. In game two, it was a dramatic walk-off win delivered by freshman left fielder Corrie Phillips after trailing by a run in the final inning. Brann also pitched in game two, lasting four and a third innings and giving up just one run. Over the weekend, Brann’s total ERA was just 0.62. Brann struck out four on Saturday, and gave up her one run on a solo homer before leaving the game. She has a 6-5 record from the circle. Leading the conference in wins with 12, albeit, in more games, the Quakers will look to keep this new winning streak alive next weekend against Columbia. The team now has the third best winning percentage in the League, and they will look to gain even more momen-
