hen you look at other schools and other models, the one thing that unifies a lot of people is sports,” said College senior and Class Board SAS Chair Werner Glass. Following the success of last season’s pre-Yale fan fest, Penn Athletics has decided to renew and enlarge the program for 2016, bringing the pregame festivities to two football games and two basketball games. Beginning with the Columbia football game on Oct. 15, Shoemaker Green and Rockwell Gymnasium will play host to students, alumni and family as the Quakers seek to drive up interest and attendance around the University’s marquee programs. At these events there will not only be food and drink but also live entertainment and interactive games. In short, the Quaker Fan Fests represent the next step in Athletic Director Grace Calhoun’s attempt to extend Penn Athletics’ reach to the entire University community. “When the football team won the game against Cornell, there was a moment there when the team and the students who rushed the field sang ‘The Red and the Blue’ together — it was a really cool moment for me as a an alum and former coach here, I was like, ‘Wow. Final football game. A lot of these people seniors. Everybody almost missed this,’” explained Roger Reina, senior associate athletic director for external affairs. That moment, he said, spurred the decision to build on that sense of shared experience. Led by Glass, the fan fests represent an offshoot of a class board initiative that was not brought to fruition last year. In Fall 2015, the class board had wanted to hold a junior night at Hutchinson Gymnasium for that spring. But they ran into logistical issues with Penn’s Alcohol and Other Drug Program Initiatives — more than anything, there wasn’t enough time for approval. So members of Penn Athletics, led by Josh Craggs — director of marketing and new media — challenged Glass to help make another event happen. Glass responded, taking charge of a mission to bring together the different sects of campus. Out of SEE FAN FEST PAGE 8

A Wednesday night event featuring professional soccer player Abby Wambach was cancelled at 3:30 p.m., three hours before it was scheduled to begin, according to an email sent out to expected attendees. In a video apology, Wambach, who has won the United States soccer athlete of the year award six times, said that this is the first time in her career she has had to cancel an event. She said that “this is very unlike me” and promised attendees she would be returning to Penn. Wambach had been slated to speak as part of the Authors@Wharton Speaker Series launched by professor Adam Grant. She was supposed to discuss her new book, “Forward: A Memoir,” in which she reflected on her years in professional soccer, her romantic relationships and her struggles with alcohol and prescription drugs. “Abby Wambach is the premier women’s soccer player. She is completely my idol so [the cancellation] was very disappointing for me,” said College sophomore Abigail Lee, who plays defense for the women’s soccer team.

IN MEMORIAM: PENN VS. FORDHAM 2015 In last year’s 48-45 loss to Fordham, Penn led a furious comeback after facing a 35-10 bind late in the first half. Then-junior running back Brian Schoenauer ran for 161 yards and three touchdowns, while then-senior quarterback Andrew Lisa, starting in place of the injured then-junior Alek Torgersen, threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns, including a 13-yard pass to then-senior tight end Ryan Kelly that tied the game at 45 with 1:46 left in the fourth quarter. The Rams kicked the go-ahead field goal with eight seconds remaining.

Beyond bilingualism: securing the Latino vote One professor has tips for Clinton and Trump CHARLOTTE LARACY Deputy News Editor

Even an election in which Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump once called Mexican immigrants “criminals” and “rapists,” there is little evidence showing that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is performing any better among Latino voters compared to previous Democratic presidential candidates. Clinton’s level of support among Latinos lags behind the level at which they supported President Barack Obama in 2012 in battleground states such as Florida, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada. In 2012, Obama won the Latino vote with 71 percent compared to GOP nominee Mitt Romney’s 27 percent, which was the largest margin for a Democrat

Sanders have been working on the project all summer. The team created BLOSSOM Interactive as part of the Social Impact Project, a program run by PennPraxis, the research and consulting arm of the design school. Under the advisement of Julie Donofrio, PennPraxis’ managing director, the students identified a need in the area and began the lengthy process of

since Bill Clinton, who won 72 percent of Latinos in 1996. To obtain the Latino vote, presidential candidates throughout the primary and general election have used their Spanishspeaking abilities to appeal to voters, including when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) yelled at each other in Spanish at a primary debate, and when vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine spoke Spanish in his stump speeches. “Somos Americanos todos,” Tim Kaine declared at a rally at Miami’s Florida International University — “We’re all American.” Regardless of the politicians’ bilingual efforts, a Univision survey found that the majority of Latinos — 68 percent — said their vote would not be influenced by whether a candidate spoke fluent Spanish. In fact, only 26 percent said it would sway their vote. Instead of speaking Spanish to

potential voters, Nelson Flores, an assistant professor at the Graduate School of Education, said the presidential candidates should focus on specific policy solutions to issues that matter to Latinos. “Latinos in the United States are Americans. A lot of the issues that Americans find important are also important to Latinos — like education, the future of their children and jobs,” Flores said. “But an issue that has particular significance to the Latino community is immigration policies because they are often directly impacted.” Trump’s immigration policies include expelling millions of undocumented immigrants, suggesting the abolition of birthright citizenship and building a wall along the Mexican border. Only 18 percent of registered Latino voters have a favorable view of Trump according to an August Washington Post-ABC News poll. However, Clinton’s

favorability among Hispanics fell that month from 71 percent to 55 percent, a drop outside the sample’s 10-point margin of error. Flores said politicians who think that immigration reform is the only concern for the Latino community are oversimplifying the issue. “In the Democratic platform, there is no mention of support for bilingual education,” he said. “I think it is interesting to me that the Democratic party seems to value bilingualism but aren’t taking a specific stance on how bilingualism is important for the American population at large.” That said, Flores said he understands that people often feel more comfortable speaking Spanish or filling out voter registration in Spanish but he thinks that emphasizing bilingualism is far from enough. Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign has started to air Spanish-language ads in battleground states in early September.

Presidential hopefuls will have to focus on more than just bilingualism to secure the Latino vote, according to one professor.

designing the sculpture. In 2014, one in seven people reported running out of groceries before the end of the month, equating to about 48 million or 14 percent of Americans. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s report, this number corresponds directly to U.S. poverty rates, which are 46.7 million people, or 14.8 percent. Chang, the project’s design and fabrication leader, said the idea of incorporating social media seemed natural. “It’s

such a great outlet…but I don’t feel like it’s being utilized,” he said, adding, “I was tired of hearing about the Kardashians.” The project uses social media to promote nonprofits and draw attention to hunger in the community, a use very different from the platform’s traditional popular culture focus. C h a ng, W i l l i a m s a n d Sanders partnered with four nonprofits for the project— Philabundance, Broad Street

Ministry, Coalition Against Hunger and The Food Trust— all of which work to reduce food insecurity in the Philadelphia area and across the nation. The plaques at the base of the flower are changed to reflect different nonprofits monitoring the social media posts generated with ”#feedblossom”. The local charity Philabundance was represented first, monitoring the social media response to BLOSSOM Interactive for the project’s first

four days. Philabundance is well known in the city for its works toward ending hunger in communities in the Delaware Valley, but Philabundance’s Digital Media Coordinator Brittany Barbato said that “with BLOSSOM, the audience we were able to reach was brand new.” The project allowed the nonprofit to “capture students on the Penn campus in real time talking about hunger.” Since September is Hunger Action Month, nonprofits like

Philabundance are working harder than ever to draw attention to food security issues in the community. One in five Philadelphians are food insecure, which means that they don’t know where their next meal will come from. BLOSSOM is an innovative project, but it has a simple aim: “We’re using the sculpture as an opportunity to give a voice to these nonprofits,” Sanders says. “What we want to do is start the conversation.”

At the end of it, I was still not really sure why she couldn’t come,” Gutstein said. “I felt like she could have been clearer with that. As her fans, I felt that she owed us that much.” Nonetheless, both Lee and Gutstein said that they would definitely sign up when Wambach returned again to Penn. “Out of all the figures that have come to Penn, the person who I’ve been the most excited to see is Abby Wambach,” Lee said.

Temple University breaks PB&J world record

Standardized testing no longer as important

49,100 PB&J sandwiches made in an hour

CARTER COUDRIET Digital Director

One non-profit’s analysis of American colleges’ admissions policies reveals that a record number of schools have relaxed standardized test requirements for applicants. The Washington Post reported that half of U.S. News & World Report’s top 100

national liberal arts schools had test-optional or test-flexible admissions policies. The study was conducted by The National Center for Fair & Open Testing — a nonprofit that combats abuse and misuse of standardized tests — and indicated that over 240 highly-ranked schools total were test-optional/flexible. High-ranking schools on the list with test-optional policies include Bowdoin College, Wake Forest University and

Penn’s Philadelphia neighbor, Temple University. Penn currently does require standardized testing as part of the application, though specific policies on what must be submitted have changed. Students no longer need to send all of their test scores to Penn, though they are encouraged to do so. Applicants must submit their score for the ACT or SAT, though the writing and essay section of each exam is not required for submission.

Columbia University reinstates free tampons for students Program revitalized after being shut down last week ALESSANDRO CONSUELOS Social Media Staffer

On Sunday, September 11, a student council representative announced that Columbia Health’s free tampon and pad distribution program had been shut down. By the following Sunday, the program had been rebooted. Throughout last year, the Columbia College Student Council and the Engineering

Student Council lobbied for a free tampon and pad service, as requested by members of the Columbia community. Last March, Columbia Health — Columbia’s equivalent of Penn’s Student Health Service — launched the service and distributed 200 pads and 635 tampons to 137 students between March 21 and the end of the spring semester, the Columbia Spectator reported. Campus Services ended the program due to their assessment that there was not enough patronage to justify

continuance. During the following week, CCSC President Nicole Allicock, CCSC Vice President of Policy Abby Porter, and ESC President Neha Jain met with Campus Services to advocate for the reinstatement of the program, the Spectator wrote. While the CCS and the ESC found the negotiations to be initially successful, according to the Spectator, the CCSC is continuing to push for an expansion of the program into on-campus restrooms and residence halls.

The previous record holder, Which Wich Superior Sandwiches, crafted 39,303 PB&J sandwiches back in June. This Philadelphia university is no novice in the realm of PB&J making. Last year, the Temple Owls ran a PB&J-a-thon that

yielded 478 sandwiches. According to Temple University, the Owls themselves will not be the ones who will enjoy these tens of thousands of sandwiches. The university plans to donate the PB&J sandwiches and leftover ingredients to various organizations in Philadelphia, such as Champlost Homes, which will give the food to people on the streets, in soup kitchens and in churches.

extensive logistics of implementing the new policy — which starting with the Class of 2021, bars members of single-gender social organizations from leadership positions in student groups and top fellowships — by the end of the spring semester.” Last semester’s announcement of the ban was met with surprise within and beyond the Harvard community. The policy has been widely criticized by students, faculty and alumni from Harvard and other major institutions as overreaching and unfair. In addition to typical fraternities, sororities and social final clubs, members of singlesex ethnic and interest-based

groups have expressed strong vocal opposition. National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations Commissioner of Member Services Francisco Lugo told The Huffington Post, “Our organizations provide a powerful experience for underrepresented students, and if Harvard is seeking to make campus more inclusive and equitable, removing opportunities for these students goes directly against that goal.” The Single Gender Policy Enforcement Committee — which is still selecting student representatives — has not taken any action as of yet, but the year remains for the committee to show how it will affect Harvard life.

If it took you a while to learn about the shooting near campus on Friday night, you might have been clued in by the whirr of the helicopter blades or by The Daily Pennsylvanian’s news updates, or even by the email sent the following day by the administration. But we wouldn’t fault you for not knowing about the event, because no UPennAlert was sent to the student body. To recap, a gunman with a grudge against policemen shot a Penn Police officer, a Philadelphia Police sergeant and four civilians. Fifty-one shots were fired, one of the aforementioned civilians was killed, and multiple people ended up in critical condition. A perimeter was raised cordoning off the area between 47th and 53rd streets, seven blocks from the western edge of campus. The shooter was headed eastward in the direction of campus be-

fore his trajectory was cut short. On Friday night, it’s safe to assume that a sizeable portion of the undergraduate student body is traversing beyond the western edge of campus, possibly — probably — intoxicated. Likewise, Penn students live as far out as 45th Street. It’s not implausible that students and other members of the Penn community would be out near the shooter, not checking their emails and ignoring the sirens as part of the background noise of any urban area. Penn students should not have to be notified of threats to their immediate safety through social media. Quite frankly, the shooter was headed toward the part of campus that people were most likely to be, and we should have known about him. Of course, the Division of Public Safety’s first priority needs to be keeping

people safe, most notably, their own police officers. Of that we’re in agreement, and the officers involved did a commendable job of controlling and defusing the situation. And it’s telling of their abilities that in this case, fortunately, being

the Penn community safe. Therefore, the UPennAlert system needs to be revised. This is not the first time we have written about the problems with the UPenn Alert system. Last semester, a man was able to bring

Even if events happen outside the patrol zone, we urge DPS to notify students of serious events that may compromise their safety.” ignorant of the shooter did not put any Penn student in danger. We would propose, however, that not notifying people of probable danger — even if outside the Penn patrol zone — is detrimental to the goal of keeping

a machete into Van Pelt, and a UPennAlert was not sent out for a good 15 minutes, even as the man was inside Van Pelt carrying the blade. Conversely, we also received an alert that there

was an unarmed robbery at 4200 Pine Street last night — a situation less dangerous than the two above. Penn administration and DPS need to think more carefully about what they are and aren’t releasing to the Penn public. Possible threats to student — and nonstudent — safety cannot go unreported to those who might be in danger. DPS has been receptive to change in the past — last summer, they revised their opt in policy after alerts were not sent when there was a crime outside Kings Court English College House. But as the system stands right now, the failure to inform students about the shooter implies that the system is more limited than it should be. DPS states that Penn students were not informed because the shooting was outside the patrol zone. Yet as we’ve stated earlier, Penn stu-

dents venture further out than the patrol zone, either purposely or accidentally, and should be warned of particularly salient threats to their safety. Ten blocks, after all, is not that far a distance. Even if events happen outside the patrol zone, we urge DPS to notify students of serious events that may compromise their safety. We’re not saying that DPS needs to broadcast every robbery or mugging, but serious threats, such as an armed shootout and blocked off streets, need to be communicated to the Penn community. Letting students know about serious situations would also help prevent people from wandering onto active crime scenes, and keep them out of the way of officers. This is not a matter of policy and technicalities, this is a matter of student safety.

Upperclassmen, remember where you came from. I remember where I came from. On the second night of freshman year, I stood in the corner at an NSO event, hoping that someone would come over to talk to me. Not knowing what to say, I stumbled my way through conversation, unsure of myself and painfully aware of my mistakes. Three years later, I’d like to think I’m significantly less awkward than I was back then, but the jury’s still out. One thing I do know, however, is that I wouldn’t be the same person today without the student groups that nurtured me. Much has been written about the impact of Penn’s club culture on mental health on campus, but little seems to have changed. I’ve spoken to current freshmen who tell me “you have to apply to 20 clubs, because if you’re lucky, you’ll get into one or two.” One freshman described to me how she was asked to seduce one of the interviewers and felt she

was there for the board to “have a good laugh at [her] expense.” Another freshman was asked to tell the interviewers a story about his sex life. Another freshman explained to me that he never heard back from a club for which he interviewed, despite his friend getting accepted. These practices are neither good for new students nor the organizations that seek to exclude them. Students face immense challenges like living alone, taking advanced courses and navigating unfamiliar social environments. The last thing they need is the pressure to apply to dozens of groups because they’re scared they won’t make friends. Moreover, the interview process favors extroverts and already accomplished students, as evidenced by the same 30 freshmen who are accepted to multiple clubs, while others are locked out altogether. The more affirmation and acceptances students receive

from groups, the more confident they become. But students whose strengths don’t include interviewing or mingling with strangers are rejected, leading to less confidence and more self-

your NSO event could become, if given the chance to blossom? This process isn’t good for student groups either. The interview process favors superficial qualities

We can either pay lip service to improving mental health on campus, or we can start by being kinder to each other, especially to those in one of the most vulnerable stages of their lives.” doubt. Student organizations should be a formative, not summative, experience of college — that is, student groups should foster growth, not be a reward for freshmen who come to Penn the farthest ahead in interview skills. Who knows what that shy girl standing in the corner at

like appearance and charm, but the most skilled interviewees aren’t necessarily the most talented. Also, the arms race of applications makes students apply to more clubs than the one or two they’re really interested in, for fear of being left out in the social cold. As such, competitive applications may paradoxically make

it difficult to tell which freshmen are truly committed. Perhaps clubs would be better off accepting everyone and seeing who ends up sticking around. I harbor no delusions that Penn student groups will become 100% inclusive, nor do I believe that’s worth striving for, given that groups face resource constraints. I instead encourage upperclassmen leaders to lengthen the process and select members not during the first weeks of class, but sometime later. As the weeks go on and students voluntarily drop out, upperclassmen can then select the truly committed freshmen. But speaking more broadly, I want upperclassmen to remember the human sitting across the table from you. To the groups who rattle freshmen in interviews, I implore you to treat your applicants the way you’d like Bain and McKinsey to treat you during OCR. And to those upperclassmen who evaluate, judge and assess prospec-

tive members like specimens in a lab, I ask you: Did you like the process, when you were a freshman? Did it make you feel valued? Respected? Cared for? To new students reading this, I want you to know that you are valuable, that you matter and that your worth does not come from acceptances from people just three years older than you. And to upperclassmen reading this, we need to be better. Because for all of the dialogue on campus about providing a healthier emotional climate, we sure don’t seem to live it. We can either pay lip service to improving mental health on campus, or we can start by being kinder to each other, especially to those in one of the most vulnerable stages of their lives. Upperclassmen, it’s time for us to remember where we came from. It’s time for us to set the norm of a more supportive campus climate. It’s time for us to lead.

Getting smart about veganism on Penn’s campus Penn Vegan Society offers a supportive community KATHLEEN HARWOOD Staff Reporter

Learning how to follow a healthy, balanced diet in college is arguably one of the most difficult transitions that a new student must make. For a particular set of vegan eaters, finding affordable and nutritional options is made that much more difficult by the condition that all of their food must be free from animal products. The Penn Vegan Society, an academic society that actively promotes and conducts research on such diets,

is a student-run group that helps students learn how to get all the plant-based nutrition they require. The group’s academic distinction means that it focuses on trying to teach members about the greater health benefits of avoiding animal products. College senior Brianna Krejci, co-president of PVS, said that the group has helped engage and broaden her academic interests. “We truly approach veganism from an academic point of view,” Krejci said. “We focus on the logical reasoning behind following a vegan lifestyle using reasoning from bioethics, environmental sustainability, and personal and public health perspectives”.

The group, composed of an executive board and a larger general body, has weekly meetings during which they discuss their vegan lifestyle choices throughout the week. PVS also plans various social and outreach events including trips to vegan restaurants in Center City as well as catered events on campus. Members of PVS enjoy the camaraderie of spending time with fellow students who follow similar lifestyles. Students learn from each other the different lenses with which to look at veganism, as not all people come to this diet for the same reasons. Anna Balfanz, a College sophomore and co-internal chair on the

The Philadelphia Orchestra’s Ninth Annual

board, found that the group provided her with the support and advice she needed to transition. “Before entering freshman year, I followed a vegetarian diet but wanted badly to transition into veganism,” Anna said. “I joined this group right away, and it was through meeting an amazing group of likeminded people and attending PVS’s events that pushed me to become completely vegan after less than two months in PVS.” PVS aims to show general members who attend their events just how easy being vegan on an urban campus like Penn can be. There are many options beyond the obvious of Hip City Veg and Sweetgreen. “Philly is an incredibly vegan city,” Brianna said. “In my time at school, PVS has helped Bon Appetit to implement dedicated vegan stations in Hill and 1920 Commons and work with them on recipes and labeling.”

The Penn Vegan Society acts an academic society with the goal of educating Penn students of the many vegan options on campus.

Students interested in transitioning to or better learning how to follow a vegan diet may consider keeping an eye out for the events that PVS will be holding in the next weeks. “It’s nice to connect every once in a while with people who make the

same nutritional choices as I do,” said Engineering sophomore and long-time vegan Kerry Hollis. “We can bond over ordering curly fries (the best out there) instead of pizza on a late night at Allegro’s. Or get excited about the fact that Starbucks on 39th always has coconut milk.”

Young Moguls brand mixes street style and business Wharton freshman already on third business venture LUCIA KIM Staff Reporter

At the mere age of 18, Wharton freshman Jordan Williams and Georgetown freshman Brandon Iverson already have experience running multiple businesses together — and a clothing line that promotes entrepreneurship is just their latest. The pair wanted to not only create an affordable, urban clothing line, but also a movement with a positive message about entrepreneurship. This mission inspired the name of their brand: Young Moguls. “A young mogul mindset [is] someone that’s really focused on their goals and has the courage to take initiative, get involved and be successful,” Williams said. “We’re trying to not make it just from a business standpoint, but whatever their passion is, whether it’s music or writing, we want them to be try and be a mogul.”

W i l l i a m s a n d Ive r s o n founded the brand three years ago for their friends in their hometown of Atlanta. Since then, the business has grown a nd receives orders from around the world. Today, it’s a registered brand with a trademark, and it receives money from online orders and donations from media outlets like the “Steve Harvey Show.” “With our clothing line, we’ve been able to inspire so many young entrepreneurs now to start their own companies and know that they can turn their dreams into a reality, and that’s just really gratifying,” Iverson said. Customers sport the look for a variety of different reasons, including the message, the style and the quality. “It’s the authenticity of the brand,” W ha r ton freshman Kemonte Harrington added. “I like the idea that it was founded by a young, black person. I just like the idea of starting a business at a young age and making it prosperous.” The brand’s aesthetic also

appeals to young people, especially casual dressers. “The brand is like more urban streetwea r but also trendy at the same time,” College freshman Josh Tulanda said. “It’s not too out-there, but it’s definitely meant to turn heads.” Even though they attend different universities, Williams and Iverson set aside time almost every day for Skype meetings. They are working towards building a larger customer base and following on social media as well as closing deals with small boutiques to get their clothes in physical locations. Their interest in entrepreneurship was sparked at a young age as they attended their parents’ business meetings. At age 10, Williams and Iverson started their first business called Kids Toys Inc., where they sold old toys and games online, navigating the world of e-commerce together. When they were 13, they created Making Money Teens, an educational company with

books and CDs geared towards explaining business topics to a younger audience, they said. While Making Money Teens gave Williams and Iverson the platform to speak on entrepreneurship, they desired a more innovative outlet, which ultimately led them to create a clothing brand. “We wanted to promote the same message but in a way that was more appealing to people in our generation, and we felt that since fashion is so big, especially in people our age, a clothing line would be a good way to start this movement,” Williams said.

Red and Blue expect intense battle from Drexel rivals

M. SOCCER | Local

rivalry set to heat up

JACOB SNYDER Associate Sports Editor SATURDAY

Drexel (1-4-2) 7 p.m.

Rhodes Field

An old foe, but a new attitude. On Saturday at 7 pm, Penn menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer welcomes cross-town opponent Drexel for the 42nd installment of a rivalry that is, as Penn coach Rudy Fuller puts it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;unique.â&#x20AC;? What makes the Drexel-Penn rivalry so special? Well, for starters, the geographical proximity of the two schools means that students from either university can easily attend the match no matter which school is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;homeâ&#x20AC;? team. In fact, the schools are so near to one another that the yearly basketball game is dubbed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Battle for 33rd Street.â&#x20AC;? However, the real venom in the rivalry comes from the players

right and left footed, she can score goals and is very good on the dribble,â&#x20AC;? Van Dyke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What makes her even more effective is that she has a full cast behind her. She is an attacking-minded player. We needed that last year.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always the case that a new player can gel with an older system of tactics and players, but Sands believes her teammates have had her back from day one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think just all the love Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve felt from the team has made me

themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No question that the intensity of the rivalry helps the guys stay focused as they prepare,â&#x20AC;? Fuller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of our guys have played with their guys on summer teams, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an added something in it too.â&#x20AC;? The Red and Blue (1-1-4) finally notched their first win of the season this past Saturday over La Salle by the score of 1-0 in a thrilling overtime battle. Although the win was a relief for a Penn team that had been drawing game after game, players are looking at the game as a foundation to build from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving forward, getting the initial win is important because we know we can play with good teams,â&#x20AC;? freshman forward Dami Omitaomu said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can use that to push for more. Collectively, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still trying to get better.â&#x20AC;? Players like senior midfielder Matt Poplawski who remember the poor start that plagued the team last season are especially relieved that the pressure to earn the first win has been eliminated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That win was definitely a weight off the shoulders,â&#x20AC;? Poplawski

admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to put last year behind us.â&#x20AC;? Although the Quakers followed up the win with a 1-1 draw against Lehigh, there were many positives that have Fuller optimistic about

the direction the team is moving in heading into the Ivy League season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think [against Lehigh] if we were a little sharper in attack we would have won,â&#x20AC;? Fuller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scoring late on to tie the game says

feel like a part of the team since I first got here. Everyone is really encouraging and it just helps me play really well,â&#x20AC;? Sands said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was definitely weird at first because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing with the same team for the past 10 years, but everyone has been really welcoming. The team is something special, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never felt out of place.â&#x20AC;? Senior Paige Lombard, who netted against Towson last Friday, echoed her new teammateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentiments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all great girls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just outgoing and really skilled soccer

players. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a really smooth transition welcoming them into the team. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made some pretty big impacts already so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to see where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the program,â&#x20AC;? Lombard said. With non-conference warmups a relic of the past, Penn will have to prepare themselves for new daunting challenges, like an imposing Crimson (5-3) who are coming off of three consecutive wins over the likes of Villanova and Providence. Regarding the intensity of Ivy League play, Lombard is assured that her team is ready for whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re confident coming into it, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some great games and have been playing really well together,â&#x20AC;? the senior said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conference play, so it means a little bit more but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just taking it as any other game. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still improving in practice and focusing on ourselves and our play.â&#x20AC;? When they are only seven conference games, each seems to carry a little extra weight for a team looking at lofty goals such as tournament play down the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recognize that in order to get to the [NCAA] Tournament, you have to win an Ivy League championship, and that is our objective. We want to come out, get a fast start and do what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing by scoring early on teams,â&#x20AC;?

NICK BUCHTA | SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

Senior Matt Poplawski has seen his fair share of Penn-Drexel matchups, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring that experience when the two face off at home on Saturday.

However, Torgersen had 179 passing yards and 89 rushing yards at the half. On defense, sophomore defensive back Mason Williams made a key interception deep in Lehigh territory and four Quaker defenders recorded eight or more tackles. One of them, junior linebacker Colton Moskal, said the team is eager to get another shot at the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to get back to work, go back on the field and show everybody what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all about,â&#x20AC;? Moskal said. In last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matchup, the Quakers hosted the Rams (1-1) with now-graduated Andrew Lisa starting under center, as Torgersen was out with a head injury which had led him to leave the previous game against Dartmouth early.

with Schoenauerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third. They conceded a field goal to Fordham, but immediately came back to tie the game at 45 with Lisaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pass to graduated tight end Ryan Kelly. Just 1:46 remained in regulation. However, Fordham drove and kicked the game-winning field goal with eight seconds left. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We learned a valuable lesson that the game is never over,â&#x20AC;? Priore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to keep fighting.â&#x20AC;? Fordhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense is highlighted by senior quarterback Kevin Anderson and Edmonds, both returning after starring a season ago. Anderson, in his first year as Fordhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starter in 2015, completed 229 of 342 pass attempts for 3,183 yards and 32 touchdowns, placing near or at the top of the Patriot League and FCS in most passing categories. Edmonds, a 2015 consensus All-American and Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, totaled 2,031 rushing and receiving yards with 25 total touchdowns. As a freshman in 2014, he ran for 107 yards and a score against Penn before last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 279yard, five-touchdown day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you can stop him, just contain him,â&#x20AC;? Priore said of Edmonds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get their yards and you have to try to limit their explosive plays.â&#x20AC;? The Quakers are looking for a noticeable improvement in play due to adjusting to the speed of the game after facing live competition for the first time. The Rams represent an important non-conference matchup before the Red and Blue travel to New Hampshire in a week to open their conference slate against Dartmouth.

Quinn’s star on the rise as Quakers begin Ivy slate VOLLEYBALL | Texan

shining as sophomore NICK BUCHTA Senior Sports Editor SATURDAY

Princeton (6-3) 7 p.m.

Princeton, N.J.

“There was this little outside hitter who killed the ball every time the game was on the line. She was like a pressure person. ... It’s the same way that she is now.” She’s undersized. She’s young. She’s 1,500 miles from home. And outside hitter Courtney Quinn is leading the way for Penn volleyball in her sophomore campaign. On the heels of a promising rookie season in 2015, Quinn has continued her growth into her second year, pacing the

Quakers (5-7) in kills as well as posting the most digs for a nondefensive specialist. It was no surprise that Quinn was ready to contribute to the Red and Blue from the get-go — at least, not to Penn coach Kerry Carr. “She shared time a lot with another hitter and then she just kind of took over that spot,” Carr noted. “She was a cornerstone of our defense and passing, so she got in the back row and slowly started taking a back row spot” Carr knew she had found a special player — and it didn’t take all that long for Quinn to realize Penn would be the right fit. It helped that the City of Brotherly Love was no strange place to the Houston native. Her dad graduated from Villanova, her mom went to Bucknell — and the Palestra was no new venue to the Quinn family. “My other siblings all wanted

to stay close to home, and I just wanted to do my own thing,” Quinn said. As the team has gone through a youth movement in the last year, Quinn has not been the only underclassman to quickly

see time. In fact, she isn’t even the only one from Texas. Freshman outside hitter Caroline Furrer has quickly earned her way onto the court, even earning Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors earlier in the

season. Both she and Carr credit Quinn as having played a role in that development. “Courtney always has great advice regarding our team dynamics and volleyball skills and strategy,” Furrer said. “And I can always count on her for help.” “She’s a lot more confident than last year and people look up to her,” Carr added. “They go up to her and ask, ‘Oh, what did you do last year when this happened?’” Furrer, like Quinn and junior middle blocker Kendall Covington, is a Texan. That bond has helped all three feel right at home in University City. “It’s great because we can all relate about a lot of things from back home, like country music and Beyonce,” Furrer noted. In addition to the “Texas crew,” Quinn came to campus having already forged a bond with a number of the players a year above her. In fact, her

unofficial visit had happened to coincide with that class’ official visit, giving her the opportunity to share that early experience with her eventual teammates. Now, Quinn is back with experience and a hunger for more. The end goal: An Ivy title. That quest starts on Saturday, with the Quakers’ opening Ancient Eight contest of the year against Princeton. The Tigers represent a strong, early test for the Red and Blue. Last year, they shared the regular season Ivy title with Harvard, losing to the Crimson in a one-game playoff for the conference’s NCAA Tournament berth. Last time around, the Quakers and Tigers split the season series. Now, Saturday’s match will be a partial indicator of just where Penn factors to be in the conference this season. Fortunately, they’ll have Quinn on the floor, ready to lead in any way she can.

Quakers seek revenge against reigning CSFL champion Army

Army (1-0) 7 p.m.

Franklin Field

Army sprint football has lost one game since 2011. On Oct. 23, 2015, that almost changed. With four seconds left in a 10-10 tie, then-junior Mario del Cueto stepped up to try a 49-yard field goal for Penn. The attempt missed wide, and the Black Knights went on to win the game in double overtime and take their third Collegiate Sprint Football

League title in four years. Fast forward to 2016. With the Quakers (1-0) on the heels of a 31-7 rout of Mansfield in their season-opening contest, Army (1-0) is readying for a trip to University City and an early test of Penn’s title hopes for the year. “We’ve been there,” Penn coach Bill Wagner said. “We know it’s going to be a physical game, a tough game — they know what it takes to win this league: You’ve gotta beat either Army or Navy.” This contest represents more than just a one-off game. It’s a critical part of the checklist, especially for seniors making their last run at a championship. The current seniors have never won a CSFL title, and 2015 was the closest they’ve come to taking down the Black Knights. “It brings more excitement

for this year, more confidence,” senior running back and linebacker Robert Diorio said. “It gets all the young guys fired up that we’re so close to a championship.” Though Penn (1-0) will need to retool in the wake of sophomore running back Max Jones injuring his ankle against Mansfield, sophomore Jake Klaus saw significant time at the position as a freshman last year. Regardless, the Quakers’ offense will have to run — as it has for going on four years — through senior quarterback Mike McCurdy. “Everyone on the team took it hard, as they should,” McCurdy said of the loss to Army last season. “We were really close but, for me, you just have to look at it positively and know that we were that close and I believe we’re

a better team this year. And if we can compete last year the way that we did, I think the ceiling for this team is even higher.” Last year, McCurdy was held to 183 yards and sacked seven times against Army, but he also threw for Penn’s lone touchdown and was able to avoid the Black Knights’ hardy defense forcing a turnover. He’s also coming off a strong performance at Mansfield, throwing for 261 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Red and Blue coasted past the Mountaineers. If there’s a time where Wagner’s squad is going to take down Army, that time might just be now. The Quakers have returned many of the starters who saw in 2015 that the Black Knights could be made vulnerable. They’re also getting a chance to take a swing at

the champs much earlier than they have in past years. “I think that playing Army early is a new experience for us,” Wagner said. “We’ve played Navy early and we were successful. ... So we’ll see what happens. I’m looking forward to the game, I really am.”

A win this weekend would put Penn in the driver’s seat down the stretch. A loss would mean relying on some help from fellow CSFL powerhouse Navy. This game comes early in the season, but it matters. A lot. Friday night, all eyes will be on Franklin Field.

No. 1 Syracuse (7-0) 1 p.m.

Syracuse, N.Y.

Upstate New York has served as a notable battleground in American history. That legacy will continue this weekend as Penn field hockey arms itself for two of the hardest encounters it will face this season. This Saturday, the Red and Blue (4-1) travel to Ithaca, N.Y., where they will open up Ivy League competition against Cornell. A day later, the team will travel an hour north to No. 1 Syracuse as they ready to face the defending NCAA champions. Being caught between a rock and a hard place might be an apt description for the Quakers’ upcoming matchups, but the team stresses it’s taking the challenges one game at a time. Against the Big Red (4-2) on Saturday, it’s hard to believe that anyone will have forgotten the epic contest when the two teams met in Philadelphia last fall. Three goals in the last six minutes of regulation sent the game to overtime tied at 2-2. The deadlock held for a mere 17 seconds, when then-sophomore Alexa Hoover tucked away a penalty stroke after nearly dribbling the entire Cornell defense single-handedly. “Ivy play is just a fight, a fight till the end,” senior defender Claire Kneizys said. This year, Penn has already become well-accustomed to gritty,

extended matches, having grabbed overtime winners over Saint Joseph’s and Fairfield in its last two games. “It’s good for the team to know that that resilience is still there but also to be prepared mentally for that battleground atmosphere,” coach Colleen Fink said. It’s easy to see why these battle metaphors keep showing up. For the Quakers, this weekend seems to evoke a sense of warrior spirit. All eight teams in Ivy play hope to draw first blood in this seven game campaign, and the PennCornell contest this Saturday brings together the two second-place finishers from last year’s Ancient Eight standings, meaning there will be a lot on the line when the two face off in Ithaca. “I’m ready to beat them in regulation this year,” Kneizys said. When Penn plays the Orange (7-0) on Sunday, it will be a test of a whole different magnitude. While the Red and Blue actually topped Syracuse in an offseason tournament last spring, the regular season is another story, and Fink says that Syracuse has added a formidable physicality to its play this year. “They’re very aggressive, they aren’t super concerned with fouling [and] they don’t play at all tentative,” Fink said.

“We can’t be looking for calls that we might not get up in New York.” “Something that we’ve really been focusing on this week and really the whole season is intensity,” Kneizys added. “Just doing everything at 100 percent, playing faster, playing stronger and also [having] a lot more motion on the field, switching and playing less positionally.” The Quakers have faced Syracuse in the regular season three times before, most recently in 2006. None of those matchups resulted in a Red and Blue win, and it would take an incredible effort for Penn to emerge from this upcoming matchup on the winning side. But it is a fantastic opportunity for Penn to see how it matches up against the top teams in the country, a club that the Quakers are well on their way to joining soon. According to Kneizys, the team has two defined goals this season: to stop Princeton’s 16 year Ivy League champion dynasty and to be one of the nation’s best and most recognized programs. “To be a top 20 team you have to beat other top 20 teams,” she said. The Quakers will have the opportunity to advance both goals this weekend, but they’ll have to fight for it.

Harvard (5-3, 0-0 Ivy) 4 p.m.

Rhodes Field

Welcome to the big league. That’s what this weekend looks like for Penn women’s soccer as they begin the Ivy season by hosting Harvard. The red-hot Quakers (4-1-1) have had a phenomenal non-conference season, picking up impressive wins and a head full of steam as the Ancient Eight season gets underway. Notable victories include a dominant 5-0 victory over Robert Morris, a comfortable 2-0 win over Towson and a 2-1 upset over a previously undefeated Lafayette. Goals have been in abundance for Penn coach Nicole Van Dyke’s squad, as they outscored opponents 11-2 in the past five games, with their only loss coming back in late August against Maryland. After picking up 13 points from an available 18, she attributed the successes to her players’ work ethics. “I think we have a group that just come out, and work and train hard. They are students of the game with video and analyzing themselves, and they really enjoy being challenged,” she said. One of the most noticeable similarities in those wins is the production of the freshman class. Collectively, they have made quite an impact, tallying five goals together and all but 12 minutes of goalkeeping. In particular, freshman Emily Sands, now a mainstay in the lineup, has routinely found herself on the scorecard. Her play was worthy of the Ivy League Rookie of the Week award this past week, after the forward played a role in three of the four Penn goals against Lafayette and Delaware. “I think it just motivates me more to keep working for my team and trying to play the best that I can to bring an Ivy League championship back to this team,” Sands said. At present, she sits tied for first on the team with points at six, coming from two goals and two assists. Coincidentally, the other player with six is fellow freshman Emma Loving. Regarding Sands, Van Dyke certainly recognizes the raw ability of her new forward, also crediting the team’s interplay with the front line. “She is a very talented player obviously. She is

ast year, they got away. Saturday marks the rematch. Penn football will travel to New York Saturday to play at Fordham for its road opener. In last year’s matchup, Penn came back from a 25-point deficit before losing on a late Fordham field goal, 48-45. The Quakers (0-1) are looking to rebound from their season-opening 49-28 loss to Lehigh a week ago. Last Saturday at Franklin Field, each offense imposed its will in the first half, scoring 28 points apiece. However, in the second half, Lehigh continued to score while the Quakers were left in the dust. “I think it was just the rust for the first game,” junior running back Tre Solomon said. “Coming out in the second half, we lost our wind a little bit.” On offense, quarterback Alek Torgersen led the way with 222 yards passing, 86 yards rushing and four total touchdowns (two passing, two rushing). 133 of those passing yards and both scores through the air went to junior wide receiver Justin Watson.
