Financial aid budget grows by $8 million The undergraduate financial aid budget is now $206 million

Gutmann kicks off the year

REBECCA LaPOINTE Staff Reporter

CAROLINE SIMON Deputy News Editor

The financial aid budget for fiscal year 2016 is the largest in University history.

The budget, which took effect on July 1, 2015, allocates $206 million to undergraduate financial aid, an increase of $7.9 million dollars, or four percent, from the projected 2015 forecast.

“The undergraduate financial aid budget is set each year based on the projected number of aided students and average granted. However, the University meets the needs of each student, even if the actual costs exceed budget,” Executive Vice President Craig Carnaroli said.

President Amy Gutmann’s 12-year presidency has seen an undergraduate budget growth of 161 percent, representing a total SEE FINANCIAL AID PAGE 12

Penn President Amy Gutmann’s annual Welcome Back Picnic was held at Wynn Commons on Wednesday at 5 p.m. for the sophomore and junior classes.

In both 2014 and 2013, the event was held at Gutmann’s Walnut Street home. An email from the Office of the President explained that the reason for the change is the ongoing construction of the Perry World House, scheduled to open in the spring of 2016.

Summer lovin’: Penn couples find and fight for romance over break Couples share how summer affected their relationships HANNAH NOYES Staff Reporter

COURTESY OF SHARON BAO AND JOSUE CRIADO

After spending summer apart, Wharton junior Sharon Bao and College junior Josue Criado are starting the new semester still together.

As spring semester drew to a close, new couples wondered whether their relationships would last the summer apart, and singles went into the break uncertain of what was to come. For many relationships, summer can indicate an end or a beginning.

Daniel and Elana: When Engineering and Wharton sophomore Daniel Moreno went to start his internship at Facebook in Silicon Valley this summer, he certainly wasn’t looking to pick up girls. The M&T student expected to be working too hard to socialize much, and for it to be focused on his career rather than a relationship.

NEW SEASON, NEW FACES BACK PAGE

Former Red and Blue star gets shot at professional soccer Lacroix transitions from stellar Penn career to NASL WILL AGATHIS Associate Sports Editor

For the elite players of Penn men’s soccer, four seasons with the Red and Blue do not mark the end of their soccer careers.

That is the case for Duke Lacroix, who, after graduating in 2014, has taken his talents to the Indy Eleven of the North American

Soccer League (NASL).

Lacroix’s name will be in the Quakers’ record books for a long time. He ranks fifth in points and third in games played and is also only the third Penn player to merit All-Ivy status in all four seasons on campus. More importantly, he left a mark at Rhodes Field that will linger for many years to come.

“Duke is a special player,” coach Rudy Fuller said. “He certainly left a legacy in our program in terms of what he was able to do on

the field and the impact he made on our program in a number of ways.”

After finishing his soccer career at Penn, Lacroix started prepping for the 2015 MLS Superdraft in January. That included rigorous training and attending numerous scouting combines. Lacroix only has positive memories from that period.

“It was awesome. It was a great experience. I just went there and enjoyed every second of it,”

Lacroix said. “It was a bit intimidating with coaches from the MLS and other leagues and even agents.”

In the end, Lacroix was not drafted, most likely because of his desire to finish his college education in the spring, according to Fuller.

With that, Lacroix spent more time training. He spent breaks and long weekends traveling to SEE LACROIX PAGE 13

$3.8 billion spent in 10 years of construction Construction expected to last upwards of 30 years JEFFREY CAREYVA Deputy News Editor

Returning students have already noticed that the hole in the ground across from Commons is finally filled and covered by the skeleton of the soon-to-be Perry World House.

While most students enjoyed the summer off-campus, Penn made significant progress in campus construction and celebrated the 10th year of PennConnects, a comprehensive const r uct ion pla n designed to better “connect” Penn internally and to the rest of Philadelphia.

Started in 2006, PennConnects is “a master plan, if you might, of how to implement the physical projects that had to happen in order to allow the academic and research goals created by the Penn Compact ... and was allowed by the funding gained from Penn’s Making History campaign,” Anne Papageorge, Facilities and Real Estate Services vice president , said.

The Penn Compact 2020 is a wide-reaching goal for advancement of the University through inclusion, innovation and impact. It is funded by Penn’s Making History Campaign earnings.

Construction goals and visions were gathered from the 12 schools and centers, and managed under the unified vision of PennConnects.

“It was all carefully calculated, as the plan identified the individual projects that each school and center wanted to realize,” University Architect David Hollenberg said.

PennConnects is expected to last upwards of 30 years, with the plan being undertaken in five-year phases.

After the first phase of PennConnects from 2006 to 2011, PennConnects 2.0 began and included projects budgeted at over $5 million, like the New College House, the renovation of the Arch and the Singh Center for Nanotechnology.

T he tot a l cost of a l l c omplet e d p r oje ct s f r om PennConnects Phase 1 (2006 – 11) was approximately $1.703 billion, and the total cost of all completed and under-construction projects for PennConnects 2.0 (2011 – 15) was $2.127 billion.

PennConnects is a guide for construction around campus, but Papageorge clarified that the ‘Connects’ in the name comes from the desire to bridge the gap between Center City and University City.

For example, the completion of Penn Park in 2011 significantly en hanced the University’s entryway from the South Street Bridge.

“Not 10 years ago, where Penn Park is today, used to be a massive ugly parking lot, a bone-yard for old campus vehicles,” Hollenberg said. “Our plans aren’t just about expansion, but about improving the campus as a whole, and establishing connections both better internally and with the community.”

The FMC Tower, one of the PennConnects projects due for completion in 2016 at the corner of 30th and Walnut streets , will welcome drivers and pedestrians via the Walnut Street Bridge into University City.

The spring and summer of 2016 will also mark the expected completion of several

large projects including the Perry World House, the New College House, the Neural-Behavioral Sciences Building and the Pennovation Center and site.

“It was also about allowing the campus to be better connected through upgrading discreet pieces of landscape,” Papageorge said. “There wasn’t

always this beautiful, pleasant walk down Locust Walk to Smith Walk, through Shoemaker Green, to Penn Park, because some the pieces were missing.”

Th roughout the sum mer, FRES managed 40 summer projects that came to an expected expenditure of $60

million.

“Of course our big constr uction projects like the New College House are yearround operations, but the summertime is when our staff and contractors can really get in there with all kinds of renovations,” M ichael Dausch, executive director of design and

construction management, said.

“It’s been a rema rkable period on campus with just how explosive this growth has been,” Hollenberg said. “We’re preparing for all of the new openings, and I don’t think we’re going to have another year like [2016] in a long time. We’re really looking forward to it.”

OPINION The integration situation

O

n college campuses these days, diversity is a coveted buzzword for the publicity of the respective institution. For the most part admissions staff and directors make a concerted effort to have each class be as diverse as possible, so long as the students reach the requirements or have the traits deemed worthy by the individual university. They believe — as do I — that diversity on campus will create a stronger think tank, if you will.

Penn is no different; in fact, Dean of Admissions Eric Furda has said time and time again that it is a goal of the University to become as diverse as it can be: socioeconomically, geographically and racially.

Bringing in a more diverse class each year is a noble feat; however, what happens to the student body when they get onto campus? Well for

If you ask any Penn student, I can guarantee that their experience will be or has been a unique one. However if you ask your average black student and your average white student, I can bet you’ll find very stark contrasts in their answers.

Now to clarify, the average black Penn student is not one that is seen constantly within the white community. They

those that are, are the anomalies who have previously been deemed danger-free enough to be accepted into the white community. These are the few that are selected to be the diversity amongst the organization. They are the exception to the rule.

My words come not from a place of animosity, but rather from my experience.

The white majority will say that the segregation on campus is the fault of minorities

as “they do not make an effort to integrate themselves.” Now let us take a step back. The reason people of color make limited attempts to integrate themselves is because the majority is not accepting of us.

I spent the beginning of my freshman year trying to do a balancing act at Penn.

On one hand, I hung out and partied with the white majority on campus, and then on the other hand, I was trying my best to do the same with the minority community.

For me, things changed early on when I realized that the culture of the majority neither attempted to have my best interests nor safety at heart. I found myself alone in a blizzard of whiteness when trying to integrate myself into Penn’s white community.

I was stranded; not by my friends, but by the parties we went to. I would walk to doors and whatever fraternity brother ran the door would allow

most of my group entrance for the night, but would stop me and my friends of color at the door insisting that that the party was at capacity. Countless times as we would walk away, the doorman would proceed to let in seas of white students into the house.

After a while I got sick of even trying so I stopped all together. The experiences of segregation on this campus are evident in the actions and behaviors that the masses think they can get away with, things that they believe are jokes. Look no further than the gangster party two years ago or Phi Delta Theta’s Christmas card fiasco last year.

Penn is but a microcosm of the United States as a whole.

The lack of attempts by the minority to integrate are the result of constant alienation and discrimination by the majority on campus and in this country — not an action ini-

Many want to believe that there is no longer a race problem in America and that racism is a thing of the past; however, how can that be possible when true integration still has yet to occur — not just at Penn but across the nation.

I’

ve struggled with anxiety and depression throughout my life. A bullying incident during my freshman year at Penn worsened my symptoms. Concerned, my friends and family encouraged me to seek help. I visited Counseling and Psychological Services, where I was treated by an excellent psychologist. My therapy helped me so much that I wanted to spread the word. I joined Active Minds in order to destigmatize mental illness and encourage students to seek help. I decided to attend the University of Southern California for my master’s in social work after Penn, pursuing a career in mental health care.

However, over graduation weekend, the stress of saying goodbye got to me. After taking one more Xanax than prescribed, I was taken to the Hospital of the University of

GUEST COLUMN BY EMILY CUTLER Pennsylvania’s emergency room. During my psychiatric evaluation, I stated that I intended to reduce my anxiety, not harm myself. Just to be safe, the psychiatrist asked if I wanted to kill myself, to which I replied jokingly, “No, I just wish I’d get hit by a car or something.” That was a mistake. I was immediately put on suicide watch.

I was transported to HUP’s Psychiatric Emergency and Evaluation Center. I was locked in an empty room with glass walls for over 10 hours. I spent most of the time bawling, partly because I was missing my graduation, and mainly because I was spending time in a hospital instead of with my family, who had flown in from all over the country. Once, when a nurse came in, I asked her if I could somehow be escorted to my graduation, or if I could at least see my family.

She sneered, “You had your

chance to keep your mouth shut. This is all your fault.”

This only made me more depressed.

Later, an ambulance took me to Belmont Behavioral Hospital. My experience there was utterly dehumanizing. I was forced to take

— male or female — every time I needed a new tampon, as they were only given out one at a time. I had to store my daily disposable contacts with all other medications and could only access them at meds call, meaning I had to choose between sleeping

However, it feels counterproductive, if not selfish, to deprive a client of her humanity in order to gain for myself temporary assurance of her safety.” whatever medications the psychiatrist prescribed me after a 45­-minute consultation.

I was prohibited from using the bathroom without telling a staff member, checked on by a nurse every 15 minutes and monitored while on the phone.

I was required to speak to the on-­duty hospital staff member

in my contacts or spending part of the day almost blind in an unfamiliar place (if you have anxiety, you’ll know that this is a frightening prospect).

Worst of all, I could only see my friends and family during scheduled visiting hours, making me feel more lonely and isolated than ever.

Over two months have passed since my hospitalization, and I am still traumatized by the event. I have nightmares about being locked in rooms and flashbacks to the side effects I experienced from the medications I was forced to take.

I am also terrified to seek help for my mental illnesses.

Although I currently see a therapist, I feel that I would not be able to tell her if I ever did have suicidal thoughts.

The possibility of being sent again to a psychiatric hospital is enough to deter me from doing so.

For now, my mental health activism is on hold. I do not wish to encourage students with depression to seek help if this might land them in a place that exacerbates their illness and potentially causes symptoms of PTSD. As a future social worker, I am not yet sure what course of action I will take when my clients

express suicidal thoughts.

Certainly I want to keep people safe. However, it feels counterproductive, if not selfish, to deprive a client of her humanity in order to gain for myself temporary assurance of her safety.

In sharing my story, I am pleading Penn to advocate for more humane treatment in psychiatric hospitals. I urge organizations, students, alumni, professors and CAPS counselors to speak out against the dehumanization that currently takes place.

I am confident that I would feel much more comfortable seeking help if I felt that psychiatric hospitals would treat, not punish, me and my fellow patients.

Before his internship, he was casually introduced to a girl online who would be in his incoming class at Facebook. They spoke a few times over the social networking site, and didn’t really think much of it.

The girl he met on the Internet just a few months prior would soon become his girlfriend. Elana Simon was a rising sophomore attending Harvard University. The subject of several articles in The Wall Street Journal and the New Yorker, she discovered a treatment to the cancer she was affected with as a child and later met President Obama.

During their time at Facebook, they grew closer. They realized that they worked well together, and although they worked on different projects, found themselves spending more and more time together, originally to develop an app.

“We work really well together

professionally,” Moreno said.

But eventually, a romance bloomed.

“I had no intention of meeting anyone at Facebook,” Moreno said. Addressing their newfound long distance relationship, they didn’t know what would happen in the beginning. Both have never had luck in long distance relationships, but say this time is different. The couple decided not to put an expiration date on their newfound relationship though they were both going back to school in the fall.

During an interview, Simon humbly tried to push off Moreno’s comments of how proud he was of her. At Harvard, she is a Computer Science and Theater major, which Moreno continued to brag about throughout the interview.

“She’s my little superstar,” Moreno said.

The two already have plans to see each other throughout the year. Simon visited Penn for New Student Orientation, and Moreno plans to visit Harvard soon, perhaps over Fall Break.

Engineering and Wharton sophomore Daniel Moreno met his long-term girlfriend and Harvard student Elana Simon in Silicon Valley.

Sharon and Josue: The summer brought an unexpected test to another couple at Penn. Wharton junior Sharon Bao and College junior Josue

Criado made their summer plans to be together, but ended up on opposite sides of the world.

Unlike Moreno and Simon, it took several times before the

two realized their spark. Their first meeting was, like many at Penn, at a party. She attempted to say hi, but he was too busy chatting up her friend. The second time they met, wasn’t so successful either.

“The second time I met him, I asked him to take a shot with me. He was bartending, and pretended to take a shot and threw it behind him, accidentally all over me,” Bao said.

The third time they met, they started talking at another friend’s house. The only problem was he had a girlfriend from home in Spain. After deciding to be good friends and growing closer, Criado broke up with his girlfriend shortly before winter break and ended up dating Bao. This was their first trial apart from each other as a couple.

They would then face the month in different countries — him in Spain and her in China.

Though together for the school year, the summer approached, and with it the decision of what to do. He had planned to go spend time in

Spain with his family, and Bao had a verbal offer to intern in New York.

Criado changed his plans to accept an internship in New York so that they could spend the summer together. Right before school ended, Bao’s plans fell through.

“I ended up finding something in Shanghai super last minute, and obviously we decided to stay together, because he was dedicated enough to move to New York to be with me,” Bao said.

After previous attempts at long distance relationships, she doubted the ability for it to work.

It was difficult for them to keep in touch because of their long internship hours as well as the twelve-hour time difference.

Although their plans to visit over the summer didn’t pan out, they continued to keep in touch.

They’re still together.

“It’s really weird, because three months is basically a third of our relationship, so we spent a third of our relationship apart,” Bao said.

Profs praise expansion of digital courses All Penn schools offer online courses this year CAROLINE SIMON Deputy News Editor

For the thousands of students from 195 countries who enroll in one of Penn’s online courses, the benefit of free, accessible education is obvious. But the professors who spend hours planning lessons, recording lectures and moderating online forums benefit from the surge in online learning as well.

Fifty-seven faculty members at Penn currently offer courses through the massive open online course provider Coursera, a number that may rise as the University begins its recently announced partnership with edX, another MOOC provider.

As of this year, online courses

are offered by all of Penn’s 12 schools.

Professor Robert Ghrist, who teaches a single variable calculus course, joined Coursera in the first wave of online courses that Penn released.

“I was really excited to do so because this is the future, this is where things were going,” he said. “Penn is right out in front of it.”

For professor Ezekiel Emanuel, whose courses focus on healthcare, teaching an online course was a way to reach students who are involved in the field he is passionate about.

“With a MOOC, first of all, you’re largely not hitting active college students; you’re largely hitting people in the workforce,” he said. “The online version does get you to people who are in the [healthcare] system,

professors to initiate discussion through online forums. When Ghrist began teaching online, he found the “personal connection” he forged with his students through online discussion surprising and rewarding.

“There’s a small, really active, really vocal, minority of students [who participate in the forums]; you really get to know them well,” he said. “It was very similar to the kinds of interactions that I have with my students here.”

Still, Ghrist has to adapt his online teaching in order to reach an incredibly diverse group of students.

“I had to work really hard to make the lectures as clear and beautiful and accessible as possible,” he said.

As the world of online learning expands, professors are still

working to find the best way to effectively communicate knowledge through a computer, tablet or cell phone screen. Professor Mauro Guillen, who teaches accounting, believes that there is definitely more work to be done.

“I don’t think anyone has figured out yet how to teach an online class,” he said. “We have to learn, to experiment, to try to see what works and doesn’t work.”

Guillen also mentioned that although online courses are growing in popularity, traditional classroom learning is still worthwhile — and students can benefit greatly from both.

“What I would like to emphasize is that some people see online education as competing with traditional education,” he 75004 said. “And I see them as complements.”

Lipman Family Prize doubles to $250,000 Prize recognizes organizations with social impact REBECCA LAPOINTE Staff Reporter

With its fifth year just around the corner, the annual Lipman Family Prize has doubled its award.

The Barry & Marie Lipman Family Prize is an annual global prize that celebrates leadership and innovation among organizations striving to create social impact. Administered by the Wharton School on behalf of Penn, a steering committee comprised of University faculty, staff and Lipman family representatives decide the recipients.

Compared to last year, the first place recipient will now receive $250,000 instead of $125,000, and the second and third prizes will increase from $12,500 to $25,000, respectively.

Lipman Family Prize Director Umi Howard said the decision to increase the prize amount this year “really came from the extent to which he [Barry] was impressed with the applications that we’ve gotten over the past four years.” Howard had nothing but praise for 1970 Wharton graduate Lipman and his wife Marie, explaining how much Lipman cares for his staff, his team of fellows and the competing organizations.

Lipman Family Prize Coordinator Mariah Casias added that the increase stemmed from “not only seeing the quality of the applications, but then hearing back from the previous winners and finalists, what it meant to them and seeing their continued impact.”

Last year’s winner, Andrea Coleman , who is the CEO and co-founder of Riders for Health, a social enterprise focused on enabling public health care to reach rural communities in Saharan Africa, strived to create an

organization with her husband that implemented a significant change to areas of Africa in need of it most. Founded in 1996, the organization focuses on the mostly inaccessible routes and roads and Coleman decided that the best way to get medicine, health care and other essentials to the areas in grave need was via motorcycle and other vehicles.

“Funding is vital. It is hard to get funding for all of us. And the Lipman Family Prize offers a significant funding opportunity,” Coleman said.

Funding is vital. It is hard to get funding for all of us. And the Lipman Family Prize offers a significant funding opportunity. ” - Andrea Coleman Previous Lipman Family Prize winner

The selection committee aims to remain unbiased in its choice.

“We’ve tried to make sure that there is a clean separation between our selection process and the way that we’re supporting organizations,” Howard said, adding that Barry and his wife want to focus on making the prize more powerful and effective for the participating students and organizations. “Things like doubling the money and figuring out how to do that are the places where he is putting his attention.”

A big part of this second gift, the last one being in 2013, is the effect that it has on Lipman himself. He works hard to make sure he gets to know the fellows well, but more importantly, he feels deeply for the participating applicants.

“It’s just every time Barry is around you can see how much he cares and how much he just wants to make sure that everything is going as well as it can, and he’s always really excited to see the students and engage with them,” Casias said.

Whether the prize will continue to grow in the future will be seen in the years to come.

The man behind the gift finds it rewarding and satisfying to help organizations that are in the most need. “He [Lipman] knows really well the value of unrestricted funding of organizations that are trying to get off the ground, or have an idea and are working on proof of concept,” Howard says.

As many of the other recipients have done in the past, Riders for Health has put the prize money to good use. “I hope that we will have a new CEO within the next two years, and that succession and making it more Africa-centric requires much more training for our very gifted colleagues in the Africa programs,” Coleman said.

Previous winners are excited to see what the award hike will bring. “We think it is exciting — we just wish we could also win this year!” Coleman said. “I am quite proud of that because I feel as though they must think that those who have won the prize in the past have made the most of it, and that is something that is valuable.”

Applications for the Lipman Family Prize close on Aug. 31, 2015.

Applications for the Lipman Family Prize Fellows close on Sept. 13, 2015.

growth rate of 8.3 percent each year. The financial aid budget has risen at a much faster rate than the rate of tuition growth, Carnaroli said.

“Providing the financial support to full-time traditional undergraduate students enrolled in the four undergraduate schools to help achieve their educational goals is one of Dr. Gutmann’s top priorities,” he said.

Senior administrators, including the president, provost and the executive vice president, oversee Penn’s budget. Together, they

develop the budget through establishing spending limitations across the University. The salary pool, employee benefits and rates and endowment spending are just a few of the limitations that are taken into consideration.

After the senior administrators develop the budget, they then present it to the trustees for approval. After the limitations are provided to each school in the University, they are able to complete their individual budgets.

Penn’s aid program, which provides gra nts-based a id awards for eligible undergraduates, is the largest out of any

U.S. university, and Penn has increased its grant-aided package to undergraduates annually for the past decade. During their educations at Penn, about one-third of undergraduates borrow at one point or another.

As part of the Penn Impact 2020 initiative, the University aims to raise $600 million for undergraduate financial aid.

Currently, the University needs to raise $240 million more to reach its goal. The initiative also aims to raise $400 million for graduate student aid over the same period, for a total fundraising target of more than $1 billion for financial aid.

Lacroix went on to sign with the Indy Eleven. So far, Lacroix finds himself fitting in nicely with his new club. “It’s awesome right now.

I love every second of it,” Lacroix said. “Great environment, awesome crowd.”

Even though he went undrafted, there is still a significant chance that Lacroix could receive offers to play in MLS or overseas. “Both Duke and myself have a lot of confidence in his ability and his future and what he’ll be able to do if he

The future looks bright for Lacroix, who has earned significant playing time for Indy. Even more promising, Fuller believes that Lacroix could still reach greater levels to his game.

“He’s still got another bunch of levels to climb. He developed so far in the four years we had him but I still feel he can go so much further,” Fuller said. “In the proper environment, with the right support and with Duke’s work ethic, he will continue to get better and better.

And he’s got a lot of God-given ability.”

The future is far from set, and Lacroix’s sole focus for now is to keep improving. “In the near future, I want to perform well here.

I want to do the best I can and give myself an opportunity,” Lacroix said.

“I’m not one to close the door on any opportunity.”

sisters set for new season

COLIN HENDERSON Sports Editor When a ruler loses a battle, it only makes sense to bring in reinforcements. And this summer, that is exactly what Penn women’s lacrosse has done.

For most of the past decade, the Quakers have reigned over the Ivy League, for one stretch winning eight consecutive Ivy League titles. That streak ended last season, though, when the Red and Blue were dethroned by rival Princeton.

However, it appears that coach

B E C A U S E

Karin Corbett has reloaded for another Ivy title run, adding six freshmen to the mix with an impressive six collective AllAmerican honors to their name.

The incoming freshman class is heavy on the defensive end — with four defenders, a midfielder and a goalkeeper — and is headlined by defender Kristen Adams. In her four years of high school, the Garden City, N.Y., native received All-American honors twice and was also named to the Under Armour All-America team in her senior season.

Adams, along with the rest of the class, should bolster a Penn defensive unit that has consistently ranked amongst the best in the nation.

Also joining the ranks of the Red and Blue is freshman midfielder Chrissy Corcoran, a two-time high school AllAmerican and sister of senior midfielder Nina Corcoran, who should figure to be one of the Quakers’ top offensive weapons this year.

In addition to the six in the Class of 2019, the Quakers have also picked up junior goalkeeper Britt Brown, a transfer from Virginia who previously earned two All-American honors in high school.

So last year may have been the end of an era for the Quakers, but with a fresh stable of new talent, a new era could start as early as this year.

Penn’s doubleheader with Harvard, Dartmouth flipped

M. HOOPS | Quakers now

face Crimson on Saturday RILEY STEELE Senior Sports Editor A change in the 2015-16 Ivy League basketball schedule has made it so a storied Ancient Eight program can play on ESPN in prime time.

Unfortunately for newly-hired coach Steve Donahue, that team is not Penn.

Two weeks ago, the Quakers announced their schedule for the upcoming season, highlighted by a trip to Seattle, a road contest down 33rd street against Drexel and six consecutive weekend doubleheaders in Ivy play.

Initially, the Red and Blue were slated to host Harvard on Feb. 5 before taking on Dartmouth at home the following night. As is customary in the Ancient Eight, the next time Penn played the Crimson and Big Green in early March, those games would be flipped — the Quakers would travel to New Hampshire on Friday and then face Harvard in Cambridge in the doubleheader’s second stanza.

However, the Ivy League announced earlier this week that Penn’s first matchup with the Crimson will be moved to Feb. 6, with the Red and Blue taking on Dartmouth on that Friday instead.

The reason for the change is ESPN’s wish to feature Harvard’s game with Princeton on ESPNU. It will be the fourth time in the last five seasons that the Crimson’s contest with the Tigers ends up on one of ESPN’s platforms.

In addition to its primetime affair in February, Harvard will appear on ESPN three times during the Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii in December.

Meanwhile, coming off their third consecutive losing season,

SPORTS 15

W. SOCCER >> PAGE 16

the starting nod in her first game with the Quakers, Van Dyke was quick to bring the focus back to the team.

“You know, starting is relative,” she said. “I think we’re still in the evaluation process and I think, even from freshmen up to seniors, we all understand that starting isn’t the end result. We have 28 players that are gonna contribute, and so it’s just really about how they can impact the team.”

Thus, it appears the group is full of “game changers” who can come off the bench, and it will be interesting to see what schemes and strategies Van Dyke puts on display Sunday.

One star sure to be in the starting lineup is senior defender and former All-American Caroline Dwyer.

For Dwyer, who played for

Ambrose at the club level in high school, as well as at Penn, the coaching change wasn’t immediately easy to swallow. But she appears ready to lead the team into its new chapter.

“It was harder in the spring, but I love our new coaches,” she said. “And I know it’s good for the program.”

Dwyer went down with an injury after only 11 games last season and thus missed out on Ivy play. Therefore, her presence will be an added boost this weekend.

Van Dyke applauded the veteran’s work ethic and leadership during her recovery and the preseason.

“She’s worked really hard to get herself back. She’s a great player. She’s an experienced player,” Van Dyke said. “Our expectation is she’s gonna lead the group but I think she’s put those on herself as well and taken on that role.”

Dwyer’s aim is to take the team

back to the NCAA tournament in her final season on the squad.

Surely that goal was what she was focused on when she was training with ten of her teammates in Philadelphia this summer.

“We all want to leave our own legacy on this team,” she said.

Hopefully for the Quakers, hers includes an Ivy League championship.

While a third of the team is new, there were no departures by veteran stars this offseason.

Dwyer sees this depth in talent and competition as an advantage.

“Everyone’s still fighting for positions,” she noted. “It’s really just a good chemistry that we’re all building with each other and you can feel that they’re becoming a really good fit.”

Their identity may not be set in stone just yet, but when the opening whistle sounds off on Sunday afternoon it will begin to come together, as the Van Dyke era begins.

Due to ESPN’s desire to televise Harvard’s game at Princeton in early February, Penn basketball flipped the dates of its matchups with Harvard and Dartmouth.

Donahue’s Red and Blue squad is unlikely to find itself on the Worldwide Leader in Sports too frequently next year. Instead, Penn’s games will largely end up streaming online on the Ivy League Digital Network, while potentially appearing occasionally on the American Sports

Network and NBC Sports Network.

The Quakers’ second doubleheader with the Big Green and Crimson will go ahead as planned.

After Penn faces Harvard on March 5, it will wrap up its season with a road affair against rival Princeton on March 8.

W. SOCCER | First game

for new coach

THOMAS MUNSON Associate Sports Editor There’s fresh blood running through Penn women’s soccer’s veins this season as it gears up for the first game of new coach Nicole Van Dyke’s tenure.

Obviously, Van Dyke’s presence on the sidelines is one that will be unfamiliar to fans of the Red and Blue who had grown accustomed to seeing Darren Ambrose walk along the pitch over 15 fruitful years. But after a season that left many players unsatisfied, Van Dyke brings in a winning pedigree and a

new coaching staff that has even the veteran players listening.

“We’re learning new concepts, new style of play, new — it’s new everything,” she said.

Everything new will be on display Sunday at 1 p.m. at Rhodes Field against Seton Hall (0-2) for the team’s home opener.

Another unfamiliar face sure to catch attention Sunday is freshman striker Sasha Stephens.
