UChicago denounces trigger warnings and safe spaces

New College House welcomes first residents

The letter from the U.’s Dean of Students met a divided reaction

The dorm included flatscreen TVs in each suite

M. EARL SMITH Staff Reporter

RAY POMPONIO Staff Reporter

University of Chicago students, be warned: your feelings do not override the free disbursement of knowledge at the University of Chicago. Or at least, that’s what one administrator announced last week. In a letter addressed to the incoming Class of 2020, Dean of Students John Ellison informed new students that the institution does not promote “trigger warnings,” will not cancel select speakers on the basis of popular opinion and, in general, “safe spaces” will not be used to protect students from ideas at odds with their own. Ellison’s letter joins a frenzy of heated rhetoric on both sides of the safe space debate, as critics lambast the concept as suppression of free speech at worst and “coddling” at best. Advocates note the importance of ensuring a welcome, comfortable space for students. Those feelings are shared by others in the student community. Penn LPS student Mariam Aisset did not hold back in her support of the policy. “Safe spaces, inherently, are pointless. The thought that academic freedom needs to be handcuffed in the name of

For residents of the New College House, the campus living experience will be all about building communities. “This is the first college house at Penn designed as a living, learning and playing center and you can hear how excited everyone is,” said President Amy Gutmann at a move-in ceremony on Aug. 24.

Why there are five Starbucks on Penn’s campus In short? Demand, demand, demand CHARLOTTE LARACY Deputy News Editor

If you are craving some coffee in Penn’s campus area, you need not look very far. There are five different Starbucks locations near campus where you can get your skinny soy caramel macchiato: at the intersections of 34th and Walnut, 34th and Chestnut, under Class of 1920 Commons, in the Penn Bookstore and now at 39th and Walnut streets. Specifically for the newest Starbucks nearby at 3901 Walnut Street, which opened earlier this year, Penn Business Services was looking for a cafe that could provide coffee, cold drinks and light food but also has a small kitchen. Most importantly, Penn wanted the operator to have a larger gathering area. “We look at the demographic to bring what we believe will be additive to the experience to

that we are a ‘global village,’” New College House Faculty Director Campbell Grey said. On Move-In Day last week, Gutmann welcomed students, parents and staff outside the New College House at 3335 Woodland Walk, which opened its doors for the first time to 350 residents. The 198,000 square foot building is the newest addition to Penn’s undergraduate housing options. University Architect David Hollenberg explained that the nest of communities starts at the individual level, where suite members share a living room. On a larger scale, clusters of suites share lounges that span two levels to encourage more connectivity between floors. Lastly are the ground-floor community spaces, including a dining hall, a central courtyard and a large living room

everyone involved,” Executive Director of Penn Real Estate in Facilities and Real Estates Services Ed Datz said. The Seattle-based coffee chain has expanded dramatically, increasing from around seven thousand stores in 2003 to more than 23 thousand in 2015. As of 2016, the United States, with 13,327 locations, had the largest number of Starbucks stores in the world. Even with the large amount of Starbucks around Penn’s campus, Temple University history professor Bryant Simon said that in a college town, there is a large enough market of college students dependent on coffee shops in multiple ways. Starbucks trademarks itself on predictability and Simon says there will always be a strong demand for convenient coffee and Starbucks’ brand is strong enough to attract people regardless of their hometown. And given the frequency of Starbucks locations, no student has to walk far to get their

furnished with a fireplace. “There’s a nesting of increasingly large, implied communities that are reinforced by the physical design of the building,” Hollenberg said. New College House Graduate Associate Tyler Hallmark, a Graduate School of Education student who lived in Stouffer College House last year, reflected positively on the community-creating spaces that characterize the building. “We’re all about building community here and getting people out of their rooms,” Hallmark said. Outside, the building features a sloping lawn facing east, offering a view of Center City. Known as “Lifted Lawn,” this space is available to the public and is another example of how the architects intended to embrace community. Executive Director for Business Services Doug Berger said the idea was a college house that offered a change of scenery with a number of

unique spaces. “The mission was a modern Quad-like building,” Berger said. The New College House is pioneering a dining platform in which students can reserve “family tables.” The service allows residents to select and share entrees in groups of about six. Designed by architectural firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, the building also includes a media screening room, group study rooms, music practice rooms and two seminar rooms with capacities of about 30 students each. In total the building cost $127 million and took nearly three years of construction to complete. Nearby Hill College House has been closed for renovation and is expected to reopen in the fall of 2017. A formal opening for the New College House is scheduled for Sept. 13 in which Gutmann will return to officially welcome students and staff.

but also about being able to manage the demand,” Simon said. Datz said there is a strong demand for coffee on college campuses in areas that double as

study spaces, like the Starbucks under Commons. “I think there is an even stronger demand for having casual seating, the ability to socialize in the space and work in the

space with Wi-Fi. The casual environment is just as important as what they sell,” Datz said. Penn has always tried to have a mixture of entrepreneurial operators with the regional and national chains, Datz added. As Penn continuously redevelops in West Philadelphia, Urban Studies professor Elaine Simon says that rents become high enough that entrepreneurial businesses and stores cannot operate. Simon suggests that Penn could subsidize entrepreneurial businesses to acquire a variety of businesses to reduce the commercial gentrification. “Penn is an institution that exists in a larger environment that has mixed incomes and it’s racially and ethnically diverse as well,” Simon said. “What’s interesting and difficult is how to avoid creating an enclave or commercial gentrification, where businesses who have been serving the community for awhile get pushed out by businesses that serve higher income individuals.”

OPINION In solidarity REID ABOUT IT! | How the term “solidarity” is misused

TUESDAY AUGUST 30, 2016 VOL. CXXXII, NO. 60 132nd Year of Publication COLIN HENDERSON President LAUREN FEINER Editor-in-Chief ANDREW FISCHER Director of Online Projects BRIELLA MEGLIO Director of Internal Consulting ISABEL KIM Opinion Editor JESSICA MCDOWELL Enterprise Editor DAN SPINELLI City News Editor CAROLINE SIMON Campus News Editor ELLIE SCHROEDER Assignments Editor LUCIEN WANG Copy Editor SUNNY CHEN Copy Editor NICK BUCHTA Senior Sports Editor TOM NOWLAN Sports Editor

The daily news updates of police shootings against black men and women have led to much hashtagged outrage: solidarity nowadays means expressing communal dissatisfaction. In response to years of repeated brutality, the #BlackLivesMatter movement rose to public attention, garnering strong support from many different communities. It has united a vast range of communities together in the same vein of hurt and anger. Amidst the various battle cries for change and reform the word “solidarity” is constantly seen — systemically so. It’s a strong word, full of promise and well-intentioned white guilt. It is also one that is slowly losing its meaning. Solidarity, which technically means unity of thought and feeling within a group of individuals, is a Platonic ideal. It embodies a sense of heroism and has been used to define unity in social movements. However, solidarity is now becoming less about the social movements it refers to, but rather its own definition and cultural mark. It embodies safe banality and easy activism, whether

or not we can admit that to ourselves. By following hot button issues, the term “solidarity” is a hot word. It can’t help but be overused. It can be recycled through different issues and public tragedies, yet retain the same message. It can be used to delineate our beliefs, our reactions and our levels of commitment to social justice. And this vagueness of definition can lead to misappropriation. Solidarity sometimes invites the chance to promote your own agenda within an already defined movement. When the movement’s message coincides with narratives of oppression in other communities it’s easy to misuse “solidarity.” Last April, the female spoken word duo Yellow Rage did a performance that revolved around issues of Asian American identity. In particular, one piece brought up police violence in the Asian community. One of the poets, Michelle Myers, introduced her poem by mentioning the illegal shooting of an Asian American man. Myers introduced the piece by mentioning that

it is written “in solidarity with the #BLM movement,” unknowingly equating #BLM’s mission with the Asian American narrative. Invoking a specific movement as a conduit for one community’s frustrations can digress into the appropriation of the movement itself. The movement be-

ism, wherein we employ the word in Facebook statuses meant to validate our own social presence. Solidarity unintentionally becomes a catch-all term for real but vague frustration. It is redefined by our actions and associations to the movement. Solidarity also embodies a complacency that allows

In the end, tacking on the word “solidarity” to join one community-specific issue with another issue does little to clarify either movement’s aim. Moreover, well–intentioned solidarity easily morphs into backseat activ-

us to hide in our biases, and look at an issue merely through its surface, tweetlike appearance. How can we truly understand what solidarity means when the majority of us come from vastly different, culturally disparate experiences? How can we expect to embody a unity of feeling with a group whose system-

atic place in society is unlike our own? And finally, how can we employ the word “solidarity” with complete awareness of the racial biases we never truly deal with? Invoking solidarity, as a cultural term and attitude, is undoubtedly a positive gesture that sustains social movements. There will be community-specific issues that converge, such as racism and sexism, and these require the intersectional message that solidarity strongly evokes. The wildfire spread of hashtags also encourages the public eye to be aware of ongoing oppression. But the coupling of a hashtag with the term “solidarity” redefines it into a platitude, and it thus means less every time it’s used. Hashtagging solidarity welcomes passivity, and unfortunately does little to start any meaningful conversation; it brings up and finishes the discussion. For the most part, many of us want to — and do — stand in solidarity with the peers we see institutionally affected every day. Sometimes official support is necessary to ensure the

AMANDA REID members of the movement know their voices are heard. But minority communities should be aware that solidarity shouldn’t flatten all our issues together as a single cause. In a society rife with racial tension, solidarity should be the platonic ideal we constantly strive towards. Until then, we need to constantly re-evaluate our relationship to social movements, and ensure that the power of the word “solidarity” doesn’t get lost in its own trendiness.

I vividly remember the first time I voted in a presidential election, as a sophomore at Harvard. I also remember the candidates and the issues, but what I recall most strongly was the feeling of enfranchisement. Here I was, the child of an immigrant father, the first generation in my family on my way toward a college degree, being recognized by my country as an adult citizen, deciding for myself who to vote for, and casting my very own ballot. I had voted in a mock election in sixth grade, but this one was for real. Voting is a simple act of civic duty, but it is also a transformative one. Each of us joins with millions of individuals across the country to enact something--the democratic choice of our representatives--that none of us can or should do alone. Voting in a constitutional democracy not only expresses our citizenship; it also enables us together to continually re-establish something much mightier than any of us could otherwise be: a democratic republic that as-

pires to recognize the liberty and equality of all persons. Although it was almost fifty years ago, I remember feeling then as I still do today, every time I cast my ballot as an American citizen: a sense of both personal empowerment and civic responsibility to do my small part to make democracy work. This is a feeling I will never take for granted, all the more so because of how many millions of people-including my parents--sacrificed so much to make this possible for me and my fellow citizens. All of our nation’s elections are important, not just those featuring presidential candidates. Yet elections such as the one this November 8th are historic milestones. Whether this is your first presidential election, your second, or, for our international students, an opportunity to see the American democratic process in action, I urge each of you to engage to the fullest and make your civic engagement something that will be unforgettable in your life as well. You will be contributing

your part to a powerful and invaluable Penn ethos of civic engagement. In recent elections, thanks to their engagement, Penn students have been a powerful voting force. Consider the work of Penn Leads the Vote (PLT), a non-partisan student-led network. Since 2004, PLT

This year, let’s together strive for 100-percent turnout of all Penn undergraduates eligible to vote on Election Day. Mark your calendars for November 8th and make your mark on history. As we engage as citizens and students of democracy, I also encourage you to save

lectures by distinguished global leaders, the festivities will also include tours of the new building and a grand ribbon cutting ceremony on Locust Walk. You can learn more by visiting the Perry World House grand opening webpage. We celebrate another exciting Penn beginning with the dedication of the Pennovation Center on October 28th. The new home of

Penn-fostered entrepreneurial ingenuity, the Center will showcase representative innovators, free food and entertainment, robotics demonstrations, tours, and much more. Our festivities culminate in a discussion with Wharton alums Neil Blumenthal and David Gilboa, co-founders of the smash business success, Warby Parker. You can learn more and watch a sneak peek video at the Pennovation Center dedication webpage. I also call on all seniors to consider competing for this year’s President’s Engagement Prize and President’s Innovation Prize. Unmatched in size and scope anywhere in higher education, these Prizes provide a graduating Penn senior or team of graduating seniors with up to $100,000 and a generous living stipend to undertake transformative projects that make a real difference in the world. Past Prize-winners are boosting the productivity of farmers in India, developing wearable devices that help those with Parkinson’s disease, partnering with the Free

AMY GUTMANN Library of Philadelphia to bridge gaps in local health care education, and much more. Imagine what great good you could accomplish as a 2017 Prize winner. In the presidential election, at the new Perry World House and Pennovation Center, with Prizes that empower Penn seniors to improve the lives of others, and in countless other ways, Penn offers endless opportunity to make your mark. It’s my great pleasure to welcome you to another engaging, exciting, and educational year at the University of Pennsylvania. AMY GUTMANN is the president of the University of Pennsylvania.

“your choices matter.” This is a departure from other convocation addresses made during election years, during which political events went unmentioned. Her remarks take place in an historic election that has been marked by divisive and inflammatory rhetoric. Provost Vincent Price warned against the dangers of division by telling the story of the discord between the University’s revolutionary founder Benjamin Franklin and the first provost, British loyalist William Smith. Despite their political differences the two collaborated to form the University of Pennsylvania. “The community thrived not despite our differences, but because of them,” Price said. Freshmen who heard the speech reacted positively. Incoming exchange student from the University of Melbourne

Years of SATs and AP tests and we’re finally here.” “I thought that the speakers were really eloquent,” Wharton freshman Laura Hempton said. “All of the information was really relevant and it was fun.” Gutmann’s speech also addressed the spirit of innovation she hopes the freshmen will adopt during their time at Penn.

Penn President Amy Gutmann spoke at this year’s convocation, emphasizing participation in the political process and urging freshmen to seek help when needed.

Tomasso thought Gutmann’s stor y about Neil Blumenthal stood out, as well as the

emphasis on building a community. “You can’t do things here at

Penn by yourself, you need the community,” Tomasso said. “I think that was really impactful.”

We are recruiting college students to participate as forecasters in The Foresight Project, a tournament designed to understand tournament design and the factors that make people more accurate. If you are a politically-engaged student who wants to become a better forecaster, you should find this project interesting and fun! The skills gained could be helpful if you are thinking about a career in the intelligence community, the economic sector, or public policy. We are recruiting for the first of three tournaments (2016-2017), starting on OCTOBER 25th and lasting for about 8 months. Participants will: • Complete a 45-minute battery of political and psychological tests to predict forecasting accuracy. • Take a 10 min training module about forecasting accuracy. • Make predictions about questions throughout the year whenever you wish! We will post a few questions online each week, for example, “Will Donald Trump win the 2016 US Presidential Election?” Select at least 30 questions and update them until the question closes. • Get feedback.

Professors incorporate elections into classes

Courses included range from politics to English MADELEINE LAMON Staff Reporter

The 2016 presidential election is dominating the news cycle, and for some students, it’s also going to dominate their classes. Many Penn professors intend to take advantage of the election to enrich their curricula for the upcoming semester. Some professors plan to focus their curricula on the election itself, while others plan to use it indirectly as a tool to enhance their lessons in the classroom. COMM226/PSCI232: Intro. to Political Communication Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a communication professor and the director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, teaches the course “Introduction to Political Communication” and plans to use the presidential election to exemplify

Vivian Williams, a new

the current state of American political communication. Students in the course will have multiple assignments relating to the press coverage of the current campaign and will be required to watch the presidential debates. They will be asked to analyze current media coverage, as well as how political press coverage norms have shifted over time. “The value of taking this course during an election year,” Jamieson said, “is that you get to apply, in real time, the theories that are learned, to see whether or not they actually have explanatory power.” PSCI182: Contemporary Political Thought Nancy Hirschmann, a professor of political science and the Director of the Alice Paul Center for research on Gender, Sexuality and Women, will be teaching a course entitled “Contemporary Political Thought.” The course will focus on political theory since 1900.

ENGL159: Writing about the Presidential Election English professor Dick Polman tailored a pre-existing course to directly address the current presidential election. He said his intention is “to bring the news into the class and bring the class to the news.” In “Writing about the Presidential Election,” students will be challenged to report on the COURTESY OF CREATIVE COMMONS

Many faculty members, such as professor Jamieson, will be utilizing this election cycle to enrich their curricula for the upcoming semester.

Although she does not intend to directly utilize the election as a topic in the course, she plans to assign readings to students on a variety of topics such as free speech and economic and reproductive freedom, which will encourage the students “to think about the importance of political participation and how it’s connected to the readings.” Students in the course will also

While the policy has caused sharp opinions on both sides, the University does not seem willing to back down from its stance. The willingness, or lack thereof, of students at the University to make their voices heard remains to be seen.

Stout defense, inconsistent offense defined up-and-down 2015

Goal-scoring drought led to Ivy disappointment JACOB SNYDER Associate Sports Editor

A season of tempests and droughts. That was the volatile nature of Penn women’s soccer’s oftenelectrifying, often-frustrating 2015 campaign. When preseason practices began, Quakers’ coach Nicole Van Dyke knew she had a challenge on her hands. In addition to the nine new freshmen joining the squad, several other players were returning from injury and lacked the sharpness typically expected of a returning player. These worries seemed to be groundless over the opening handful of games. Wins over Seton Hall, Temple, and Mt. Saint Mary’s gave the Quakers a 3-0 start for the first time since 2011. Despite the early success, there were still areas that

eye, and so while making the jump to a different school posed its own challenges and an uncertain future, she went for the door in hopes of finding a new home at Rhodes Field. But even before preseason practices had begun, Lombard came face-to-face with a demon from her past when she suffered yet another torn ACL, forcing her to undergo her second surgery and miss the entire 2014 season. Another curveball came when the Quakers hired Van Dyke to replace Darren Ambrose for the 2015 campaign, making her Lombard’s fourth head coach in

needed improving for the Quakers to challenge in the Ivy League. “Any time you get off to a quick start it’s exciting,” Van Dyke admitted. “But there’s always room for improvement. We learned a lot from those first few games.” Paige Lombard would be a name that resurfaced countless times in 2015 when highlighting Penn’s top performers. The experienced defender anchored a unit that finished in the top 20 in the country in goals allowed. “Paige is really good at challenging herself,” Van Dyke said. “But what I really think Paige does well is lead by example. She fires people up and gets the most out of her teammates.” Stellar performances against USC-Upstate and VCU resulting in a win and a draw followed, and the Red and Blue appeared to be well on their way to a successful season. But, as always, just when everything was going right, something went wrong. Namely, the Quakers stopped scoring.

ANANYA CHANDRA | PHOTO EDITOR

Then-freshman midfielder Allie Trzaska was an important piece of the streaky 2015 offense, picking up two goals across 12 starts.

Five consecutive games without a goal handed Penn three ties and two losses and rounded out a sixgame winless streak that started with the VCU stalemate. Even worse, three of these games came against Ivy League opponents, putting the Quakers in a hole to start conference play. The scoreless streak demoralized a confident Red and Blue squad, as coaches

as many years. While this would technically be her senior year, it would only be her first playing for Penn, and Lombard was once again put in the now familiar territory of tumult with injury and coaching concerns surfacing once again. This time was different. Lombard has since showed that she belongs playing for the Red and Blue, and her decision to sign up for the Quakers’ latest campaign is a testament to that. “I planned on a fifth year [of college] because I didn’t feel like I had gotten enough soccer out of my four years yet,” she said. The trust between Lombard and Van Dyke has played a key component in Lombard’s

excellence on the pitch. “She got that [captainship] by always coming out and being that leader without the title and really making people around her better,” Van Dyke said. “She always wants the most out of people, she’s very supportive of the coaches [and] she’s excited about not just her own legacy here at Penn but the future legacy of Penn women’s soccer.” Now entering her fifth and final season, Lombard’s legacy is left to be determined. She says few things would be as sweet as an Ivy league title and an NCAA tournament berth, something she has never experienced. For her, it’s all or nothing.

Robert Morris next Sunday at Rhodes Field. The Quakers will have a full week to make sure they are all fully acclimated to each other before facing the Colonials (0-4).

“I definitely think we’ve made incredible strides and everyone’s really excited to get out there and play the next game,” Blaber said. “We still have a long way before Ivies, but it will come up fast.”

Reed, who is attached to Chelsea Ladies FC, is an England native ready to make her mark at Penn. Regarding the demanding nature of the position, she noted that her experience and the training have prepared her well. “It’s something we’ve been working on at practice, getting up and back, which is a big part of my play and coming up the line and exposing their defense. Having that extra man up to help get more goals this season is key, which is something we need to improve upon through a more attacking mindset,” Reed said. When dealing with a crop of new players, integration to the team is paramount for success, especially when some of the freshmen will be required to fill starting roles. Van Dyke noted how different that process can be when dealing with girls traveling the globe to get to Philadelphia. “As a coach you worry when some are coming from California and England how are they going to adapt and can they do that quickly. ... That’s something that as coaches we can try to cultivate

A loss to Brown put a damper on the Quakers’ undefeated streak and sent the Red and Blue into the last game against Princeton with one goal in mind – to end the season on a positive note. Ninety minutes of blood, sweat and tears produced possibly the most impressive result of the season, a 0-0 tie against a team in Princeton that was fighting for a perfect Ivy League season and had won 11 games in a row. With a positive end to 2015, the Quakers (6-4-6, 1-2-4) will be looking to build on the many successes of the season and produce a more consistently effective performance in 2016. “We did a lot of things right last year,” Van Dyke said. “Take away that midseason scoring drought and we might be looking at this very differently. This year we feel even more confident that our offense will produce. “The whole team buys into what we’re doing, and I think this year you’ll see it really start paying off.”

but one of the players’ biggest strengths is their chemistry,” Van Dyke said. Freshman Emily Sands, an incoming midfielder with 66 goals in her high school career, feels that team has already formed a real cohesive unit in their short time together. “We had a team bonding week and it was kind of awkward at first because everyone was trying to get to know each other,” Sands said. “Freshmen were trying to get to know our class, so we started bonding together that week. Then next week at preseason the whole team started to gel. I feel like we’re

a family already and it’s only been two weeks.” Reed agreed with Sands and added some perspective on the cultural differences overseas. “They’ve all been really welcoming and nice. Being international, it’s quite funny as I’ll say something and they’ll laugh and I’m not sure why. I haven’t missed home and they’ve really adopted me as a second family,” she said. With a host of tough opponents ahead, the Red and the Blue will really need to get the newcomers on board and perfect this updated system to begin lighting up the scoreboard.

and players alike scrambled to find an answer for the drought. “With a short preseason, it’s hard to find that chemistry right away,” Van Dyke said. “We outshot almost everyone we played. It was all there; we were just waiting for the tipping point.” “Even though it was midseason, we were still mixing things up a bit and trying to find our groove,”

current sophomore forward and Penn’s 2015 leading scorer Sasha Stephens added. After the painful stretch of goalless games that stretched over the better part of three weeks, respite finally came to the Quakers in the form of a 5-0 thrashing of American at home. “Our performance that day was great,” then-freshman Allie Trzaska said. “We did a great job of keeping our heads up during our bad patch and American was the result of that.” With the Red and Blue out of contention for the Ivy League crown, the last four conference games of the season were played out for pride and confidence heading into 2016, with a particularly enticing season finale against rivals and eventual conference champions Princeton. Penn looked to be back in form against Dartmouth and Yale; the goals were flying in again, and the results were coming around as well in the form of a tie and win.

Penn looks to score with Van Dyke’s new system

PUTTING THE PAST

Scheme designed to correct the Quakers’ 2015 offensive struggles GREG ROBINOV Sports Reporter

the decision to leave after her sophomore year. The unfortunate reality of women’s soccer, a world both underfunded and underdeveloped, had made Lombard come to prioritize the value of her education. “I didn’t want my academics to suffer at all,” she said. “From a realistic perspective you have to think about after school and what’s going to help prepare you for your future. But I also came from a really competitive conference, the ACC, so I didn’t want my athletics to suffer either. So I had very high standards for where I was looking. Obviously the Ivy League was up there.” Penn particularly caught Lombard’s

They say the best offense is a good defense. Unfortunately, sometimes you just need a good offense. For Penn women’s soccer, that is the mantra for this new season. While their overall 6-4-6 record in 2015 looks good on the surface, a 1-2-4 Ivy League record paints a different picture. In all competitions, the Quakers scored 19 goals while only giving up 11, but in seven conference matchups, they were outscored five goals to three. This prompted Red and Blue coach Nicole Van Dyke to focus her efforts on increased firepower up front. “I think this year we’re actually going to be taking more risks. We know what we’re capable of doing defensively and we know what we need to do on the attacking side,” Van Dyke said. “We focus a lot in training on talking those risks and getting numbers in the box and having a bit more quality in the final third.” These aren’t just empty words — this new formula will lend itself to a slightly different system with more emphasis on the defenders participating in the attack. This means the opposition can expose the weakened back line, but Van Dyke has confidence in her team’s resiliency. “We do attack well with the outside backs, but you can’t just attack with one; you attack with two. There’s gonna be a time and place for that and for sending more numbers forward. I think we’re really confident with the players we have and that everyone can defend,” Van Dyke said. With a fresh batch of youngsters on the squad, the all-important question will be how to involve the new players into the new system — and who can step up and make an immediate impact. “We’ve got about four or five players that are battling out for those [wingback] position. ... On the other flank we have some seniors and an incoming freshman Abby Reed, who is from England and has begun to establish herself as a very high level technical player that likes to get in the final third. It’s a challenge, they’re all battling it out and the first few games will reveal who’s most effective,” she added.

BEHIND HER Fifth-year senior set to anchor Quakers’ defense ANDREW ZHENG Associate Sports Editor

Five years, four coaches, two surgeries, two schools — Penn women’s soccer’s Paige Lombard has seen it all. Entering her final season, Lombard has once again been trusted with the reins to Quakers’ coach Nicole Van Dyke’s defense, which only let in a stingy 11 goals under her leadership last season. In the previous campaign, which was also Lombard’s first playing for the Red and Blue, the Miami transfer took the unusual step of becoming a team

captain halfway through the season, a role she has reprised this year as well. But for Lombard, a midseason captaincy is just another seemingly standard event in what has been an unconventional collegiate athletic career, one marred by misfortune but also filled with promise and success. The Belleair Bluffs, Fla., native began her journey at Miami, five hours from home. As a freshman, Lombard started in the Hurricanes’ first five games before tearing her ACL in a game against Pitt, her first of two season-ending injuries. Returning from such a major injury has never proven easy, and a coaching change did not ease Lombard’s transition back into the team either. While she started nine of the 17 games she played

in that season, not all was well for the soon-to-be-former Hurricane. “There were some deeper things that I wasn’t really happy with, especially with soccer,” Lombard said. “I think it’s hard when playing college athletics because it’s such a huge part of your daily life, so if you’re really not happy within your sport it’s hard to be happy in general or content with where you are. “So when I was not completely content with the soccer there, there started to be other things that made me think, ‘I don’t know if I really like this.’” The thought of leaving behind both family and friends in Florida was difficult, according to Lombard, but the thought of spending two more years with rumblings of discontent was arguably more upsetting, and so she made

Quakers fall in season-opening tilt with Maryland Blaber scores lone goal as Penn hosts Big 10 foe COREY HENRY Sports Reporter Sunday

Rhodes Field

It was a trial by fire for Penn women’s soccer this weekend, as they fell victim to a powerful Maryland side led by a familiar face under the sweltering heat at Rhodes Field. Former Harvard head coach Ray Leone led the Terrapins into University City as they overpowered the Quakers on Sunday afternoon 3-1. Maryland (2-1-1) struck first

when a costly error by freshman goalkeeper Kitty Qu allowed the first goal of the game in the sixth minute. The Terps continued to bring the pressure before sophomore Cassie Phillips gave Maryland a 2-0 lead after just 12 minutes. “Obviously the first 10 minutes of the game is something we have to be better at,” head coach Nicole Van Dyke said. “We’ll have to get sharper as the season rolls on.” Heading into halftime down 2-0, the Red and Blue (0-1-0) knew they would have to dig deep if they wanted to come away with the victory. “We went into halftime saying 2-0 was the most dangerous score line,” freshman midfielder Emily Sands said. “Just one goal puts the pressure back on the other team.”

The Quakers came out with a purpose in the second half. By putting pressure on the defense and spreading the ball around the field, a breakthrough felt imminent. With the younger players looking to the upperclassmen for leadership, senior forward Olivia Blaber put Penn within striking distance after hammering home a rebounded shot in the 70th minute of the game. “We were really pounding them inside,” Blaber said. “Everyone could feel it was coming and I was just in the right place and was able to put it away.” Unfortunately for the Quakers, the one goal difference wouldn’t last long as Maryland immediately struck back — just one minute later — to ensure the final scoreline of 3-1. Despite the unfavorable score, Van Dyke sees a lot to be proud of heading

forward. “We held them to just one shot in the second half,” Van Dyke said. “After they scored [their second goal] we were by far the better team, but they were just sharper than us.” Penn’s second half approach to be more aggressive on offense paid dividends by allowing for many chances, but each time Maryland was able to beat back the opportunities for goals. After being outshot, 4-3, in the first 45 minutes of the game, the Red and Blue roared back with a staggering 9-1 advantage in shots and a 2-0 lead in corners. With the freshmen barely having time to get acclimated to campus life and playing with their teammates, a little rustiness was expected. Now that they SEE MARYLAND PAGE 10
