Born four years ago out of a kitchen corner and sold around Penn, Weckerly’s Ice Cream now plans to open its own storefront in Fishtown this December.

Weckerly’s, founded by pastry chef couple Jen and Andy Satinsky, is a local microcreamery that specializes in small-batch French-style

ice cream and is particularly known for its ice cream sandwiches. Its roots are close to Penn — starting in the kitchen of the Green Line Cafe on the corner of 43rd Street and Baltimore Avenue.

Task force to look into off-campus groups Penn called out off-campus group OZ specifically

CHARLOTTE LARACY Staff Reporter

The SEPTA strike, now entering its second week, appears more and more likely to continue into Election Day. One super PAC hopes to at least mitigate any potential effect on voter turnout.

My Ride to Vote, a California-based super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton, will be paying for Uber and Lyft rides to Philadelphia polls on Tuesday.

Following a racy email sent by off-campus organization OZ, Penn President Amy Gutmann announced a task force to investigate off-campus groups.

FOLLOW US @DAILYPENN FOR THE LATEST UPDATES

Penn announced the formation of a task force to address the “negative influence of unaffiliated and unsupervised groups,” according to an email sent by Penn President Amy Gutmann and Provost Vincent Price to students, faculty and staff.

The task force will be led by Vice Provost for University Life Valarie Swain-Cade McCoullum, Vice Provost for Education Beth Winkelstein and Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush. It will include administrators, faculty and students

and is charged with strengthening and reinforcing students’ rights under the Code of Student Conduct. The goal is to foster a campus climate free of sexual violence and harassment, ensuring that unrecognized groups are held “accountable” for violations of University policy.

The task force appears to represent a pivot in the University’s approach toward off-campus groups.

Gutmann and Price’s email said the task force will ensure “that we are holding students in unaffiliated and unsupervised groups accountable for violations of University policy to the maximum degree permitted.”

“The way that ended up being is finding a business to partner with.”

In the beginning, they partnered with Green Line to make single batches. At that point, they started looking for retailers by offering free samples, hoping that stores would be interested in stocking their product.

“Initially, it was a lot of pounding the pavement. Luckily with ice cream, unlike some products, you can go in and be like ‘Hey I don’t mean to bother you but we make this ice cream and here is some ... give us a call if you like it,’” Andy said.

Eventually, facing issues with storage and organization, they moved into the old dye laboratory of the Globe Dye Works in the Frankford section of North Philadelphia, an old converted dye plant that now rents space to art and photo studios and other businesses.

“Having everything in one place is amazing, it made everything so much more efficient,” Andy said. “When we were at the Green Line we had a corner of the kitchen, which was a great way to start but [after starting the work day] only three hours

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM later we could start making ice cream.”

After moving into the laboratory space and buying new machines with a credit union loan last winter, Weckerly’s started making a name for itself.

Selling scoops and sandwiches outside the Barnes Foundation, local festivals and farmer’s markets, Weckerly’s started to develop a following.

The central appeal was the ice cream sandwich, which draws in gourmands with the novel appeal of scratch cookies and ice cream.

Initially hesitant of big expenditures, the two decided to hire a graphic designer to create a cohesive brand for their ice cream.

By branding, they saw a way to further market their product and maintain sales in the winter, when demand drops by 75 percent, they said.

Since then they have solidified stockists and found much more stability, now seeking to expand employment and open up a brick-and-mortar store.

Despite working throughout the week, they have reached a point near capacity and have a choice of courting stores, which they choose based on the potential outreach to consumers and whether the store fits with the Weckerly’s image.

“We’re in a place now and sometimes people will reach out,” Andy said. “They’re just too far away or we already have a lot in that area.”

Their relationships with the farmers who provide their ingredients is most central to the Weckerly’s identity. Although their sugar and flour mostly comes from distributors, their cream, eggs, special ingredients and herbs all come from nearby farms that practice sustainable farming. Relationships flower, as at every step in production a personable interaction occurs between farmers and creamery.

“It was also a really personal endeavor and one of the things that I think makes it fulfilling is knowing the human element behind the core ingredients of what we make,” Andy said.

Weckerly’s has come a long way since its humble beginnings and learned from the growing pains of cultivating an entrepreneurial dream. From starting in the Green Line Cafe to being crowned in 2014 by Philadelphia Magazine as Philly’s Best Ice Cream, the effort to source sustainably has been central to the Weckerly’s ethos. This December, Jen and Andy’s dream to open an ice cream shop will reach fruition.

Office of the Ombudsman shows increase in some complaints

The office mediates conflicts throughout Penn ALLY JOHNSON Deputy News Editor

The frequency of complaints submitted by members of the Penn community about abusive behavior increased “sharply” last year, according to the Office of the Ombudsman.

The Office of the Ombudsman, a campus office that handles various conflicts among students, faculty, staff and even parents of students, recently released its 2015-16 report. It found that the number of complaints about inappropriate or abusive behavior had risen sharply in comparison to the 2011-2015 period. These complaints constituted the largest single category of the office’s cases for the past year.

Complaints were filed in protest against “abrasive and abusive treatment,” according to the report. Members of the Penn community complained of being treated with a lack of respect and of being bullied.

22.67 percent of visitors to the Office of the Ombudsman between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016 raised issues about behavior. In the previous four years, only 11.7 percent of all visitors raised issues about behavior.

Ombudsman and history professor Lynn Hollen Lees said her office cannot confirm that this sort of abusive behavior has recently increased — only that more people are coming to her office to report it.

According to the report, some people who complained feared retaliation from the superiors who they alleged mistreated them.

“The fear of retaliation discourages many from open complaints,” the report states.

“The common denominator in such cases is the disparity in power wielded by supervisors over employees, faculty over students and tenured faculty over untenured faculty or adjuncts.”

When a member of the Penn community comes to the Office of the Ombudsman with an issue, there are several of options available to address it.

KASRA KOUSHAN | CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

Penn’s Office of the Ombudsman showed an alarming increase in the number of abusive behavior complaints released all throughout campus.

“The first thing that we always do is to listen very respectfully to the complaint and talk with the person who has come in about

their needs, their wishes, what their options are, what university policy is, what kinds of different ways there would be toward

moving forward to some kind of a resolution of the conflict. And we help them to think through what it is they want to have happen,” Lees said. “In some cases, we take a complaint forward.”

Depending on the wishes of those who visit, the Office of the Ombudsman may also offer further information about University resources, speak with others involved with the situation and offer mediation services. It is impartial and does not conduct formal investigations.

Lees said issues brought to the office are kept confidential, except when there is a risk of “immediate and severe physical harm to a person” or when there is a legal obligation to share information.

The repor t states that complaints “signal a lack of consensus about acceptable modes of communication” at Penn and that work is needed “to maintain open lines of respectful communication and to foster greater trust across the University.” The office hopes to increase accountability when people believe they have been treated unfairly and

consult with University leaders to find solutions for conflicts.

Lees said her office can have conversations with particular administrators, faculty members and student groups and raise the issue “in any kind of training situation that exists within a school or within a unit.”

“There are a whole series of ways in which we regularly reach out to groups across campus, and we can raise these issues in a general fashion,” she said.

In addition to her office, Lees recommended other resources for those who have issues related to behavior, including the Office of Student Conduct’s Mediation program for students and Human Resources’ Workplace Issue Resolution Program for staff.

Lees also praised the Campaign for Community, the University’s initiative to encourage discussions about controversial issues.

“We’re strongly in favor of the Campaign for Community — getting people to engage with it is one of our functions and one of the things that we think is very necessary,” she said.

ProPublica senior reporter Charles Ornstein speaks at Penn

Ornstein discussed how to analyze data ROBERTA NIN FELIZ Contributing Reporter

Charles Ornstein has uncovered scandals just by analyzing data: massive Medicare fraud, unlicensed doctors seeing patients and networks of doctors who entrap patients in vicious cycles of bad treatment.

“There’s a whole lot we can learn about the health care system just by looking at outliers,” said Ornstein, a 1996 College graduate and senior reporter at ProPublica, at the Colonial Penn Auditorium on Friday.

Watching,” an activist group of students that has used art and public demonstration to criticize rape culture at Penn. On Sept. 6, We are Watching posted emails sent by off-campus organization OZ to freshman girls, inviting them to one of the group’s “Wild Wednesdays” parties.

Gutmann and Price’s email highlighted OZ specifically, calling their actions “inappropriate” and describing them as “unrecognized, unsupervised” and “underground.”

“Creating a task force allows students to work closely with administration, therefore prompting the University to take a step forward in establishing a safer campus climate,” said We Are Watching in a statement on Friday evening. “This email is a move in the right direction, and we look forward to seeing how this task force can translate words into action.”

Wharton senior and Interfraternity Council President David Moore praised the establishment of the task force, but said it followed a pattern of administrators offering a “late response.”

“Two weeks ago, [Gutmann]

physicians all filled the Colonial Penn Center Auditorium to hear Ornstein’s seminar about the power of outliers in getting us to ask important questions.

Ornstein said finding statistical outliers has helped him pinpoint grievous mistakes or errors in the health care system and much of his success, including his Pulitzer Prize, has come from scrutinizing clinician and hospital outliers.

An emphasis on what Ornstein said what he calls “accountability journalism” made ProPublica the first online publication to win a Pulitzer in 2010.

Tools like Prescriber Checkup and Treatment Tracker, available on ProPublica’s website, help the members of the public look up

their doctors and find information such as the different drugs they prescribe, Ornstein explained.

“We saw that doctors don’t know what they’re prescribing in relation to their peers,” he added.

Other data analysis helped uncover lapses in policies at institutions like Stanford, The University of California San Francisco and even Penn, he said. ProPublica found that even though these institutions had really tough policies on doctors getting payments from pharmaceutical companies, their doctors were still receiving up to $40,000 from these companies from, for example, giving speeches at companies.

“These institutions had a

put together a Black Lives Matter email. And now with this [email], again, pretty late to the game here with everything going down,” Moore said.

It is still unclear whether the task force will make punitive recommendations for students who are members of unrecognized groups in a similar manner to what Harvard University has done.

Off-campus organizations function as part of the student social scene in a way similar to affiliated fraternities and sororities — they have rush, pledging, parties and, occasionally, philanthropy — but are unrecognized by the University and not under the purview of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.

A l l-m a le u n r e c og n i z e d groups, such as OZ, Theos, The Owl Society, Apes and Phi exist, as well as all-female groups, including OAX and Tabard Society.

OFSL has a box on their homepage telling students and parents to not “fall” for these groups.

In their statement, We Are Watching urged members of the Penn community to acknowledge that rape culture exists throughout Penn, not just in off-campus groups.

“We urge university faculty, administration, and students to acknowledge that sexual assault is not solely perpetuated by off-campus groups — harmful behavior exists across our campus,” the statement said.

Moore noted in his Sept. 12 op-ed in The Daily Pennsylvanian that affiliated fraternities have been communicating with the Penn Violence Prevention Office, Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault, Abuse and Sexual Assault Prevention, the Penn Women’s Center and other groups about creating safe environments for women.

“The unfortunate reality of the situation is that no one holds off-campus groups accountable for their actions,” he wrote at the time. “I ask you to understand that on-campus organizations, like those under the purveyance of the IFC and responsible for their words and actions, are genuinely working towards improvement.”

Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush and Vice Provost for University Life Valerie Swain-Cade McCollum sent an email to undergraduate parents Friday evening to explain the task force and call out unaffiliated groups by name.

policy that was entirely based on trust instead of one that was based on trust and verification,” Ornstein said. “I think now [institutions] realize they have a role in ensuring that their faculty follow the rules.”

The centrality of data to Ornstein’s work has allowed him to make connections not only about doctors and how they interact with their patients but also about lapses in Medicare policies and procedures.

“Why is Medicare not looking at its own data?” Ornstein joked as he described a network of incompetent doctors referring patients to one another. “What you end up having is patients being ping-ponged around bad doctors.”

1996 College graduate Charles Ornstein talked about his work in analyzing medical data to uncover scandals and other stories.

Ornstein said he believes projects like ProPublica’s databases can help revolutionize the relationship between the public and journalists.

“We want people to tell their

own story,” he said. “Journalism has to move from a place where we ask people to trust [journalists] to a place where people have access to what’s behind our work.”

Early in September, activist group “We Are Watching” hung up flyers with an email sent by off-campus organization OZ to freshman girls, overlaid with text saying “This is what rape culture looks like.”

“If your student suggests that they intend to join such an organization, we will count on your support in dissuading them to do so,” Rush and Cade told parents.

“Their safety, and the health and wellness of their fellow students, may depend on this poor choice.”

The email references Gutmann’s previous comments of disapproval of the OZ email and clarifies the status of unaffiliated groups outside of the Greek

system.

“Let us be clear: These unstructured groups have made a calculated decision to bypass the traditional Greek system and operate without administrative oversight or liability insurance, and without regard for the safety measures required of recognized organizations,” they wrote.

The Division of Public Safety deferred comment on the task force to Vice President for

University Communications Stephen MacCarthy, who said in an email, “I don’t have anything to add to the letter. It speaks for itself.”

The Division of the Vice Provost for University Life, whose director — Cade — is a leader of the task force, was also not immediately available for comment.

Director of OFSL Eddie Banks-Crosson declined to comment through a spokesperson.

OPINION How to stop masturbating JUST MONKING AROUND | Embrace the clickbait, become the clickbate (Hey-o!)

MONDAY NOVEMBER 7, 2016 VOL. CXXXII, NO. 100 132nd Year of Publication COLIN HENDERSON President LAUREN FEINER Editor-in-Chief ANDREW FISCHER Director of Online Projects 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 WILL SNOW Sports Editor TOMMY ROTHMAN Sports Editor

The Monk class is deep into the month of silence now. This is a time to eliminate absolutely all distractions in your life, digital and IRL. Vows have been taken with regard to food, sleeping habits and celibacy.

This includes masturbation. But, like me, you ponder: “How would anyone know that you masturbated?” Well, when your shoulders are no longer swallowing your neck and your gait is long and free, rest assured that everyone will be able to call you out on your bullshit.

Or else, the guilt will eat you alive when you sin.

It’s a genius fail-safe — no matter what you do, it’ll be on your mind. Constantly aware. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

But your repressed sexual energies have to go somewhere, don’t they?

Since the beginning of the semester, we’ve had to write in a journal every 30 minutes of every waking hour. When you’re deprived of good food, good conversation and SABSing gener-

ally — when you can’t even make eye contact — you pour your procrastinative efforts elsewhere.

You masturbate with your journal. Not, like, as a replacement sex toy, but mentally. When there’s nothing else to gratify you, to validate you, all you can do is pour *~everything~* into the journal.

There are notable changes in my journal that reflect its transmutation into my *~everything~* : From one-sentence “I am doing homework” entries to pages-long refrains on how “We are all just desperate to feel something.” Someone slap me.

At least I admit that “Maybe I’m just a solipsistic fuck who wants to sound #deep in her journal that her professor will be reading.” At least I’m aware, right?

But I keep doing it. I’m well beyond the first step, denial, sure. But I’ve also never been so self-satisfied in my life.

A little bit of masturbation is good, but it can easily turn into too much.

I finally understand why places like r/nofap exist — not necessarily because of some Christian, moralistic fundamentalism, but because masturbation can easily turn into procrastur-

be mindful of when it becomes too much. When the workout becomes an obsession and a means to distract yourself.

The whole point of the month of silence is to

There is something important in learning to delay gratification.” bation — not only in the homework sense, but also in the deferring your entire life sense.

There is something important in learning to delay gratification. And instant gratification can sneak up on you in the most innocuous of ways.

Professor McDaniel explained this once as akin to working out during your month of silence. It’s a great tool to wake up in the morning and expend some energy — not to mention be healthy — but, especially during the month of silence, it is important to

eliminate distractions and expose yourself entirely to whatever it is you were trying to get away from. Is succumbing to my mental masturbation, just because it’s thoroughly dissolved my three-year-long writers block, justified? Absolutely not.

But the class has already established that we are going to f*ck up in many ways. The key is to be aware of it, and to adjust your behavior accordingly.

There are even sneakier ways of masturbating, though, like self-flagellation. We’re not actually

flogging ourselves in this case, but sticking to the precepts a little too much, imposing restrictions when there aren’t any. The pain is pleasurable, the external validation of anyone watching is pleasurable and crucially, the internal validation of believing you’re more adherent than all the others is pleasurable too.

Eliminating self-pleasure is also masturbating, and you end up with the same fat head. You can’t escape it! It’s basic algebra: Subtract it from one side, and it’ll get added to the other somehow …

Masturbation — in all of its different ways — is inevitable, but it doesn’t need to subsume everything. Be the masturbator, not the masturbated. You can con trol your masturbation, and you don’t need to be distracted by it. This is delaying gratification, and this is freeing yourself from distraction.

To free yourself from the distraction, you must acknowledge the distraction, rather than ignore it.

Ignoring it is a greater ef-

ASHLEY STINNETT fort than acknowledging it, and thus gives it power.

Acknowledging the distraction eliminates the need to focus on expending that energy, and then you can face whatever it is you were trying to avoid.

So I’ll just live with my fat head and my engorged clitoris for now, and hold out for the best orgasm of my life when the month of silence ends on Nov. 21.

Mark my words. You might even hear me all the way from the Quad.

Sore losers GOOD LUCK | Brexit and Tuesday I remember playing poker with a friend who had a particularly heavy emotional investment in the game. He would become raucous in victory, eager to dismiss any doubts once he was the tentative winner of a hand. Equally surly in defeat, he would raise every conceivable contention and wag his finger in a way that reminded me of the orator Goebbels. Redeeming personality aside, his continued participation ruined the game for everyone else at the table.

It is easy to dismiss a kid — if a college student is a kid — for being a bit immature, and “immature” is the best way to describe actions like these. Grace in victory and poise in defeat are hallmarks of maturity.

Unfortunately, these virtues do not permeate other aspects of public life; politics in particular.

I was reminded of this player’s behavior in the uproar surrounding the success of the “Brexit.” Citizens of the UK voted, by small majority, to leave the

European Union as a result of widespread discontent.

In the wake of this referendum, I have heard a number of people say, among other things, that the citizens of the UK were misinformed, that the nation should bring the matter to a revote, that the vote does not represent the intentions of the majority of the population, that young people, Ireland and Scotland were overridden by the stogy, xenophobic and middle aged.

Correct or not, this kind of nitpicking amounts to being a “sore loser” in so many words. I do not claim to know whether Brexit will be good for the UK in the long run — recent reports dispute this — and the ramifications of the vote are not the subject of this piece. I want to discuss the response of people who see the vote and say, in a facetious tone, “See, this is why democracy doesn’t work.”

I contend that this kind of joke reveals a core of ugly sentiment. The above phrase is the sort of broad

claim that can not be joked about without partial belief in its veracity. Consider that there are only certain people who make jest using racial slurs. Furthermore,

It is difficult to see this kind of conditional acceptance of democracy as anything but immature. Of course, it is perfectly fine to get frustrated with the

When a person argues politics with the unyielding certainty that they are right, they contribute to attitude polarization, which hinders the ability to reasonably discuss sensitive topics in the public space.”

people who dislike the vote’s outcome are the only ones making these “jokes.”

The motivating idea behind this is truly insulting: “Democracy works when it does what I think is best and it does not work when that doesn’t happen.”

democratic system. In fact, frustration is a good way to spur political involvement, which is the living body of a healthy democracy. However, politically removed onlookers are almost always the ones making snide comments like that

one. This is because it is a statement of resignation, because it oversimplifies a complex issue and because it makes an enemy of ideology.

When someone makes a statement like that, they are communicating that their ideas, whatever they may be, are correct ones and that anyone with a brain would think the same way.

This has significant consequences. When a person argues politics with the unyielding certainty that they are right, they contribute to attitude polarization, which hinders the ability to reasonably discuss sensitive topics in the public space. The psychology of, “I’m right, you’re wrong and nothing you say can change my mind,” can be found across the political spectrum and is becoming an intractable problem in American politics. It is amusing to note that a bigot is “A person who is utterly intolerant of any different creed, belief, or opinion.”

It is in the best interest of everyone to refrain

HARRISON GLICKLICH from making comments like the one above whenever possible. These seemingly harmless statements perpetuate corrosive ideas, which is why I am calling attention to this insidious meme communication and why I want you to keep it in mind this Tuesday. Yet, in spite of this diatribe, I do not expect this behavior to cease anytime soon. It will linger as long as people keep making “wrong decisions” at the polls.

“She’s funny, and everyone knows her Twitter account and overall she’s just perfect for college students.”

The discussion will be moderated by psychology professor Angela Duckworth, who is best known for her book “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance” and her corresponding TED Talk, which has received almost 9.5 million views.

“I had taken a class with her before, and we had also watched her videos online and we just thought that her knowledge and personality and connection with audiences worked perfectly with this kind of event and with Anna Kendrick,” Pitofsky said. “I think they’re going to have a great discussion and it will be very natural”.

The book is partially autobiographical and also contains short stories, according to Wharton sophomore and SPEC Connaissance Director Chris Richardson.

Kendrick began her career as a child actor in theater productions and, at the age of 12, was nominated for a Tony Award for her role in “High Society” on Broadway. She soon took on a supporting role in the New York City Opera in 2003 and made her film debut the same year in “Camp.”

“As a general theme, we’re trying to explore areas which we haven’t brought speakers in from before”, Richardson said.

“In the past, a lot of our speakers have been focused on traditional acting or were news personalities but this year we’re bringing someone who’s crossed a variety of media platforms.”

Tickets will go on sale on Nov. 7 and will be sold at various times on Locust and in staggered releases online. Tickets are $10 for Penn students and $40 for the public.

“We’re very excited,” Richardson said. “She’s always so effervescent that people draw off her energy so she’s the perfect person for a discussion or a speaking event.”

Pennsylvania. All of these voters are going to need rides,” it said.

Contract negotiations between SEPTA and representatives of Transportation Workers Union Local 234 did not end in an agreement by their Oct. 31 deadline, which resulted in over 5,000 SEPTA workers walking off the job. The strike has impacted bus and trolley routes, as well as the Market-Frankford and Broad Street subway lines.

Penn created a contingency plan for faculty, staff and students affected by the SEPTA strike. Employees of Drexel University, the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Penn will receive complimentary guest passes to use sponsored transit services

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM during the strike.

Commuters have also been encouraged to use alternative commuting options, such as carpooling, walking and biking during the strike, but one super PAC will provide another option for potential voters concerned about being able to cast their ballot on Tuesday.

As of Nov. 6, there is no end in sight for the SEPTA strike. In 2009, a SEPTA strike lasted six days, but in 1998, a strike lasted 40 days.

Political science professor Matthew Levendusky said his commute has changed, but he has adapted without much effort.

He normally takes the MarketFrankford Line to Penn, but lately has been using a bike from the Indego rideshare program.

Thankfully the weather has been cooperating for Penn commuters. Many people have been

walking to and from campus.

However, not everyone in Philadelphia has had similar accommodations. Students in the Philadelphia School District have been affected by the SEPTA strike as well.

On the second day of the strike, Nov. 2, elementary school attendance dipped by nearly 5 percentage points compared to the Wednesday before, according to the school district. In middle schools, 81 percent of students attended on Nov. 1 and 86 percent on Nov. 2, compared to nearly 95 percent on those days during the previous week.

“Students who normally use SEPTA, and are unable to attend school due to lack of transportation will be marked excused absence,” Superintendent William R. Hite, Jr. said in a letter to parents and guardians posted on the district’s website.

Quakers falter with weekend sweep against Bulldogs, Bears VOLLEYBALL | Losses put

Penn under .500 vs. Ivies

TYLER SHEVIN Sports Reporter

Needing a pair of wins to stay alive for a top-three spot in the Ivy League, Penn volleyball freshman outside hitter Caroline Furrer would refuse to allow her squad to go down without a fight.

But despite Furrer’s dominance on both sides of the ball, the Quakers couldn’t pull through on either night of a tough road doubleheader.

Penn ended a two-match win streak with a four-set loss to Brown before traveling to Yale and falling to the Bulldogs in straight sets.

On Friday, the Bears (5-17, 3-9 Ivy) dominated the beginning of the match, but the Quakers fought back to win the second set. However, Brown ultimately controlled the ends of the third and fourth sets to seal the win.

In its final road match of the year, Penn (10-14, 5-7) struggled against second-place Yale (17-4, 10-2), losing each set. However, in the third set, the Quakers stepped it up, with a remarkable .324 hit percentage and 16 kills. For Yale, junior setter Kelsey Crawford created opportunities for her team with 16 assists, while sophomore hitter Kelly Wirth had 14 digs.

But in both matches, Furrer

served as a major bright spot for the Quakers, demonstrating that the future is bright for coach Kerry Carr’s senior-less team. The freshman had 12 put-aways and nineteen digs against Brown, and she followed up that performance with 10 kills and five digs against Yale.

“I’m really proud of Caroline, that she has just stepped it up the last couple weeks. ... She’s got her confidence back and she also has taken study to the game every day in practice,” Carr said. “I think it’s her work ethic that she comes every day and wants to get better at one or two things that makes her super coachable for all coaches.

“She’s added so many different shots and hits to her game now that she was able to, in these very tough matches this weekend, produce kills for us.”

Following her strong weekend, Furrer ranks second on the team with 205 kills.

“This weekend was definitely a weekend full of learning for myself and the team,” Furrer said. “We faced two very good teams and I think coming out of his weekend we learned a lot more about grit and energy through adversity.

They threw a lot of different things at us, but we remained whole, and together we just kept fighting no matter what the circumstances were.”

Now deadlocked in a three-way tie for fourth place, Penn looks forward to its final matches of the year, when the team will host Cornell

(11-11, 5-7) on Friday and Columbia (13-9, 8-4) on Saturday. Looking to improve before next week’s crucial doubleheader, the Quakers are anxious to return to practice and put this weekend’s mistakes behind them.

“We did some good things in both matches, but overall our improvement must be our servereceive. We need to get better with that,” Carr said. “We struggled a little bit at times with that and getting the balls to all three of our hitters.”

“I think we have a lot of hard work we have to do this week,” Furrer added. “Our mental focus needs to be there.”

Earlier in the season, Penn traveled to both New York schools for a doubleheader, falling to Columbia and Cornell in five sets each.

“There is a little chip on our shoulder that we want to knock off these two teams,” Carr said. “It was close, and on the road, that we lost to the upcoming two teams. I know that the student-athletes really want it badly.”

After five straight matches on the road, there’s no doubt the Quakers are excited to return home and leave everything on the Palesta floor in an effort for the team’s first top-four finish since 2013.

“There is no lack of motivation, on our home floor,” Carr said. “We have been away for three weeks.

We want to play the way we played that last set against Yale all the time.”

in sprint history as one of the greats, especially at Penn,” McCurdy said. “And to be a part of it, to share it with all these guys, is really what will be the most cool down the road.”

Moving on into the post-McCurdy era will be challenging, but the Quakers look like they’ve already found the quarterback of the future in freshman Eddie Jenkins. Jenkins has greatly impressed in his limited appearances and today was no different. The dual-threat quarterback ran the ball only two times, but he made the most of his brief opportunity with a 51-yard touchdown scamper.

forced to rise to the occasion five times after the first goal, while the Princeton goalie only recorded one save.

But a well organized Penn defense ensured that its goal was never too threatened. Even with two U-23 national team members, the Tigers failed to take the lead, and Penn was able to play some of its best soccer all season.

For some members of the team, it was a great ending to their Red and Blue careers. The chance to have a go at their rivals, a potential NCAA Tournament contender, presented an incredible opportunity to make a statement in

ahead to the future, the Red and Blue have every right to take some time to look back on what an amazing season this was. With early wins against both the service academies for the first time since 2000, the Quakers looked primed to run away with the title with three games still left.

Nothing changed after a 53-7 beatdown of Chestnut Hill, but the undefeated season came dangerously close to ending last week against Cornell. It took a 93 yard drive in the game’s final minute and a successful two-point conversion just for Penn to force overtime.

After two extra periods, the Quakers were finally able to escape with a 27-20 win and lock up a share of the championship, but the game was a big

wake-up call for the Red and Blue before their final game of the season against Post.

Heading into the game, the Quakers were well aware of the stakes. Lose and Penn would’ve been forced to share the CSFL championship for the fourth time in school history, but this team was too good to let that happen.

“During halftime, we set the tone,” coach Bill Wagner said. “Everybody’s got to take care of business and everybody had a responsibility they knew would had to be done. It was time to step up and do the job.”

And the Quakers got the job done exactly how they have all year. It wasn’t perfect, but it was enough. And for the Red and Blue, enough was enough to win it all.

their final showing.

“It’s hard. After the game it just felt like my heart hurt,” captain Olivia Blaber said.

“It’s going to be a tough few days, few weeks probably, but I wouldn’t have wanted to do that with anyone else.

“Something you can never tell from a record is how much heart a team has, and I think that’s something that goes beyond our team this season but is ingrained in our program. You lose that a lot of the time when you just look at statistics, but I’ve always been proud of what we’ve done just because of how much heart people play with.”

With this season in the books, it’s easy to see why this new Van Dyke era is an

exciting one. The team was able to make clear improvements from its last campaign.

An undefeated away record meant a lot for a team that struggled on the road in 2015.

“I’m just excited to see where they go from here because I think they have so much potential,” captain Paige Lombard said. “I can’t wait to come back and watch and see all the awesome things they’re going to do.”

“I couldn’t be prouder of this group,” the second-year coach said. “We all made sacrifices. We did it for the right reasons.

“I think our seniors wanted to leave a legacy and they’ve done that this year.”

It’s only upwards from here.

Looking for a final upset, Penn’s season ends on sour note FIELD HOCKEY | Tigers

dominate in 6-1 blowout

WILL AGATHIS Associate Sports Editor

It hurts to lose. And for all Penn sports, it especially hurts to fall to Princeton.

A loss to Princeton is perhaps most sensitive for Penn field hockey. And for the last game for their senior class, the Quakers (11-6, 4-3 Ivy) fell 6-1 to Princeton in their season finale.

For Penn, it was a gut-wrenching finish to a season that started with Ivy League title aspirations.

The Quakers finish the 2016 season in third place in the Ancient Eight, with the Tigers (10-7, 5-2) taking second. Much like Penn’s other losses this year, the score fails to tell most of the story.

As a matter of fact, Penn kept the game competitive for the majority of play.

Scoring started fast on Saturday: Princeton scored six minutes

into the course of play. Penn would later retaliate when sophomore Sofia Palacios picked up her seventh goal of the season. Unfortunately for the Red and Blue, that would be the team’s last goal of the season.

Two goals from the Tigers brought the halftime score to 3-1. Looking to end a long losing streak to Princeton, Penn’s comeback efforts were thwarted when Alexa Hoover, the team’s superstar goal-scorer, received her second yellow card of the game, this time a 10-minute infraction. The call was questionable; The effects were damaging.

Princeton would score midway through the penalty and proceeded to pelt goalkeeper Liz Mata with shots. The defense held up valiantly but the team ultimately struggled to create chances against an equally stingy Tigers defense.

With the game at 4-1 and just a few minutes left, the Tigers continued to keep up the pressure, scoring with 1:11 left. To add salt to the wound, Princeton was

awarded a penalty corner with just three seconds left and scored a sixth goal. That was the final point that either team will score this season, with Princeton’s season unlikely to continue.

But for Penn, the 2016 season was in many ways a positive one.

The team showed resilience, recovering from deficits several times to pick up key wins. The defense will return all three starters and the attack will return all three of theirs. The scoring has come from a variety of different sources in recent games, which has helped to remove some pressure from Hoover.

Certainly, this is not the swan song that the team’s two outgoing seniors, captains Claire Kneizys and Elise Tilton, expected, but it does not take away from the individual successes they had picked up over the prior seasons.

For Penn field hockey, the future is certainly bright, even if this offseason is going to start earlier than they originally would have liked.

Sophomore Sofia Palacios scored the lone goal for Penn field hockey — tying the game at one-all — before Princeton was able to take total control of the game, finishing off the Quakers’ season with a 6-1 decision.

Red and Blue see early success in hometown opening invitational

| Men go 4-1, women go 4-2 at Invite FENCING

MOSES NSEREKO Sports Reporter

En garde...ready...fencing season!

On Saturday, Penn fencing got its season underway with a strong performance at its home exhibition, the Elite Invitational. The women’s squad recorded a 4-2 finish against a nationally esteemed field, while the defending conference champion men went 4-1. “Today we showed a lot of potential,� senior sabre captain Isaac Buchwald said. “But this whole fencing season is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. We want to make sure we keep a good stable consistent mindset, and

keep fencing harder and faster.�

The men started off their marathon with impressive victories against Notre Dame and NJIT on their way to a 4-1 finish. The men also defeated John’s Hopkins and UNC, only falling to defending national runner-up Ohio State. The women pulled out wins over UNC, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, NJIT and Ohio State to finish 5-1 on the day, with their lone loss coming to the Fighting Irish.

For the men, the sabre squad went undefeated against all five teams, led by squad captain Buchwald, who won five of his six bouts. In addition, the freshman duo of Adam Green and Connor Mills scored eight wins each.

The women’s sabre squad also led the team with five wins.

Freshman Victoria Zhang recorded nine wins in her weapon class. The foil class was highlighted by strong freshman performances. Nicole Vaiani registered 10 wins, the most for the Quakers, while Inbar Tivon went undefeated on the day. In epee, senior captain Alejandra Trumble led her squad with eight wins. “We did really well,� Trumble said. “The first tournament is always the hardest. You’re getting used to it and it’s always a new team each year.�

The highlight of the day for the men’s squad came in its last match with an entertaining 14-13 win over NJIT. After the Quakers and the Highlanders eked out respective 5-4 wins in the sabre and foil classes, the match would be decided by

men’s epee.

In this crucial moment, the Quakers stepped up. Returning All-American and junior Zsombor Garzo went undefeated in three bouts against the Highlanders. From there, junior Jake Raynis and All-American and sophomore Justin Yoo each notched a win to give Penn the decisive 5-4 victory.

Buchwald was impressed with the Quakers’ resilience. “We fenced hard,� the sabre captain said. “[We] hit very aggressively and showed a lot of fight, even when we were down.

That’s what’s important for [us].�

For the women, their highlight performance came against UNC. Women’s foil led the team with eight wins against the Tar Heels, led by three wins from Vaiani. Wins from AllAmerican and junior Arabella

Uhry in sabre and sophomore Katherine Sizov in epee helped secure a 16-11 victory for the Quakers.

Coach Andy Ma spoke on how well both teams handled the long schedule. “Today’s tournament was seven rounds. It took almost 11 hours,� Ma said. “It’s part of our sport. It’s not just about the minutes on the strip, it’s about consistency and endurance.�

The invitational included 11 women’s teams and eight men’s teams. Seven rounds were had and most teams were only granted one bye round. For Ma, the cohesion of his teams helped them withstand the grueling schedule. “Our team spirit, our team chemistry is better than ever,� the eighth-year coach said. “Everyone cares, and everyone

supports each other.�

Trumble echoed her coach’s sentiments. “It’s a lot about the team,� the Cambridge, Mass. native said. “This is an individual sport coming in from high school, and where the team stuff comes in is you can really pump each other up if someone’s having a hard day.�

The Red and Blue will continue their preseason preparations at the November North American Cup in Milwaukee.

Only a few fencers wim,ll compete at the individual event.

For Ma, this marks another step in the process to help prepare his teams to contend for an Ivy championship. If Saturday’s performance was any indication, all teams should be en garde when it comes time to face the Quakers.

MATT FINE Associate Sports Editor

After Harvard cancelled the rest of their men’s soccer season, the Ivy League standings flew wide open. With the Quakers, Dartmouth and Columbia all separated by just one standings point, the conference title — and a NCAA Tournament berth — were both suddenly up for grabs.

With the stage set, the Red and Blue made the short trip to Princeton for a matchup with the Tigers. Needing a win to have a shot of winning the Ancient Eight title outright, Penn and Princeton played to an exciting whirlwind of a draw, 2-2.

The Red and Blue found themselves down early, conceding a goal to the Tigers (7-7-2, 1-3-2 Ivy) off a corner kick in the game’s first five minutes.

Immediately, the Quakers (5-5-6, 3-2-1) worked to shift momentum in their favor, culminating in a goal for Matt Poplawski from a Joe Swenson corner kick in the 14th minute.

Despite the game’s magnitude, Penn coach Rudy Fuller believes his team treated the contest like any other throughout the season.

“All season we have done a great job of focusing on the game at hand and only focusing on what we can control,” Fuller said. “Despite all the ups and downs and recent distractions, this group has done a good job of just focusing on what is in front of us.”

The second half was when the action heated up, with both teams squandering numerous goal-scoring opportunities. Finally, however, it was Princeton that broke though on a beautifully

quarterback John Lovett made it a 13-0 game, leaping over the pile at the goal line midway through the second quarter.

No matter where the Quakers turned, they just couldn’t seem to get into a rhythm offensively. Junior wide receiver Justin Watson, after logging 376 yards and four touchdowns in the last two weeks, put up 82 yards on 12 catches but couldn’t break out for the big play. Tre Solomon, best rusher in the Ivy League this season, was held to 38 yards on 11 carries before freshman Karekin Brooks took over most of the burden in the second half.

“We didn’t execute, we couldn’t finish drives today, and that’s what I think it came down to — finishing. Finishing was a big issue for us,” Torgersen said.

Three failed fourth-down conversions on four attempts told the tale of the weekend, with Penn simply unable to come up with the critical play as the deficit grew.

Lovett extended the Tigers’ lead in the third, connecting with senior James Frusciante on a fouryard pass to bring it to 21-0. It looked like the Quakers would finally get on the scoreboard when Torgersen was picked off at the Tigers’ 15.

“I think the key down against an offense like this is first down,” Priore said. “Because you have to get these offenses off schedule on first down.”

Penn wouldn’t come that close to scoring again. A turnover on downs gave Princeton the ball with 11:27 to play, and they burned almost seven minutes before senior running back Joe Rhattigan found the end zone for the game’s final score.

By that point, the life was out of the Quakers. They started putting a drive together in those waning minutes, but a fumble with 1:10 to play in the red zone sealed it.

The loss was the first in Ivy play for the Red and Blue since the Ivy opener against Dartmouth in 2015, breaking a 10-game streak.

“The championship’s never been our focus on the season, it’s always the next game,” Torgersen said.

Nonetheless, the Quakers still control their own destiny. But the margin for error just evaporated.

Senior Alec Neumann’s team-best ninth goal on the year was a big one, equalizing for Penn men’s soccer on the road against Princeton.

placed shot in lower left corner past Penn goalkeeper Etan Mabourakh, putting the Tigers up, 2-1.

Once again, the Red and Blue responded immediately, as Alec Neumann cleaned up a rebound after a junior captain Sam Wancowicz shot in the 67th minute.

The Quakers seemed to take the lead in the games final 20 minutes on two separate occasions, but goals were called back — seemingly correctly — for offsides. And as the two overtimes proceeded, and the back-andforth play ramped up, nobody found a way to break through again.

However for the Red and Blue, the ability to fight back after conceding goals has been a huge part of their success this season, and it was necessary tonight to force overtime.

“Two of their core values are

being gritty and resilient and they continue to live up to those values,” Fuller said. “With everything that was riding on this game, it would have been very easy to put their heads down. But this group just doesn’t quit. And tonight was a perfect example of that.”

With one final game to play against Columbia on Wednesday, the Quakers are still in the running for a share of the Ancient Eight title. They would need a win over Columbia and a loss by Dartmouth to Brown next Saturday to secure the share. However, for now, Penn is focused on the only thing they have focused on all season, and that is what they can control.

A win over Columbia this week is certainly something they can control. Whether or not that translate into an Ivy title will remain uncertain until next weekend.

different Quakers finished the day with touchdowns, but it was sophomore running back Jake Klaus who carried the team. The New Jersey native ran the ball 27 times on his way to an astonishing 248 yards and two touchdowns.

“At the end of the day, I have to give all the credit to my line,” Klaus said. “They’re opening holes for me, and I was just hitting them. I started to feel it a little bit, and just got a little more confidence. It was just really fun to get the ball, and just do my thing a little bit.”

While it might’ve been Klaus’ game, this was still Mike McCurdy’s team. The senior captain and quarterback ends his career as Penn’s all-time leader in passing yards, and set the single-season passing record this year with 1,740 yards. The reigning CSFL co-MVP was relatively quiet on the day with only 188 total yards and two touchdowns, but the victory served as a fitting finish for one of Penn’s all-time greats.

From here on out, it’s win or go home.

Following Penn football’s 28-0 loss on the road to Princeton, the Quakers (5-3, 4-1 Ivy) will have to win out in order to earn at least a share of the Ivy title for a second straight year.

They stand tied with the Tigers (6-2, 4-1), both a game behind Harvard for Ancient Eight primacy. The Crimson (7-1, 5-0) and Cornell are on tap in Penn’s final games, so the Red and Blue still have total control over their own destiny.

The tone of an entire game is not necessarily set on the opening drive, but junior punter Hunter Kelley dropping a snap, Princeton recovering the ball and bringing it to the house did not start things off on the right foot. Literally.

“It’s one of those back-breakers right from the get-go,” Penn coach Ray Priore said. “That sort of set the tone where we really, I would say, on both sides of the ball did not execute.”

While the Tigers missed the PAT, the Red and Blue remained flat-footed. Senior quarterback Alek Torgersen was held to 179 yards passing and threw just his third interception all year on a critical drive into the red zone.

The first half was an exercise in futility for the Penn offense: two punts, two turnover on downs and the failed punt attempt highlighted the worst first-half showing for the Quakers since getting shut out at Brown in 2013.

Red and Blue draw in season finale, finish undefeated on road W. SOCCER | Sands’ goal

equalized vs. Princeton ANDREW ZHENG Associate Sports Editor

It may not have been the icing on the cake, but it was a pretty great cake nonetheless.

Penn closed out its season in a 1-1 draw at its Princeton rival.

For what may have been a low scoring affair, there was an undeniable amount of passion on the field when the two sides met Saturday evening.

The single point from the night meant that the Quakers (9-3-4, 2-2-3 Ivy) secured fourthplace finish in the Ivy League standings, a one-spot improvement from the team’s fifth-place ending last season. A tie did the job for the Red and Blue in ensuring a top-half finish, but a loss would have seen the Tigers overtake them in the Ancient Eight table.

For Princeton, however, the match had implications that went beyond Ancient Eight pride. Although the Tigers (10-4-3, 2-3-2) struggled in conference play this season after winning the league last year, they remain highly rated nationally.

Heading into the week, Princeton had an RPI ranking of 31, the highest of any team in the Ancient Eight. Penn sits at 140.

A potential spot in the NCAA Tournament was on the line for the Tigers, but Penn coach Nicole Van Dyke’s side made sure it would get in a final word before the season came to a close.

“They may very well get a bid,” Van Dyke said. “But I think tonight we made that decision a whole lot harder for the selection committee.”

freshman goalie Kitty Qu. A trademark of the Quakers’ conference play has been responding to early challenges, something that happened when the team visited Dartmouth and most recently against Brown.

Saturday saw more of the same, when a sly corner play from sophomore Sasha Stephens found freshman Emily Sands at the top of the box. The team’s co-leading points scorer made no mistake with her next moves, beating a defender and then placing a left-footed ball into the upper right to equalize for the Red and Blue.

What began as a Princeton show transformed into a twosided affair after that turning point, though a look at the statistics might paint a different picture. The hosts outshot the Red and Blue 17-6, a feeling the team has not become accustomed to this season. Qu was SEE W. SOCCER PAGE 9
