Changes to libraries uncertain after outcry Mathematics graduate students protested proposed repurposing of the space

And the first Fling performer is ...

MAGIC MAN

BY JODY FREINKEL Assignments Editor Less of the Math-Physics-Astronomy Library may be repurposed following outcry from mathematics students and faculty. Members of the math department are speaking out against the conversion of part of the library in David Rittenhouse Laboratory into an active learning classroom. The construction in DRL is scheduled to begin this summer, and the Towne Building’s Engineering Library will close entirely after this semester. Mathematics professor David Harbater teamed up with mathematics doctoral candidate Neel Patel to draft and circulate a petition protesting changes to the DRL library. The petition, with more than 500 signatures, was submitted to the provost last Monday. SEE LIBRARY PAGE 9

COUNTDOWN TO

FLING 2014 There will be magic in the air for Spring Fling this year. Magic Man will open this year’s Spring Fling concert on April 11. The up-and-coming alternative synth-rock band marks a turn from Tyga’s rap genre last year, as Magic Man blends rock, pop and electric sounds. “We really wanted to have a wellrounded collection of music genres involved this year,” SPEC Concerts Co-Director and College senior Ben Yang said. “From people’s past experiences here at Penn, we’ve typically heard that the best experience for them over the past four years was the Tiesto concert and Passion Pit. So we really wanted to bring an up-and-coming band that displays that kind of tempo, that energy, as well as the potential to become something big,” Yang said.

The Daily Pennsylvanian spoke with Sam Lee, one of Magic Man’s founding members. The DP: Let’s start out with the basics. How did you get into music? Sam Lee: Personally, I started on the recorder in fourth grade, but I guess that wasn’t particularly fulfilling. I played the oboe for a little while in the band in middle school. Then my friend - Alex [Magic Man’s singer] actually - he started taking guitar lessons, so I asked my parents if I could play the guitar in addition to the oboe. They said I had to pick one, so I obviously picked the guitar, and I haven’t looked back since then. DP: How has the band grown since SEE MAGIC MAN PAGE 10

the witness.” Hersh ultimately did not testify because the case was dismissed before he could do so. Sacko has been involved in a number of other legal situations in the past. He is currently on nine months probation, which began in July 2013, for a theft that took place on Jan. 19, 2013, according to court records. He was found guilty of theft, but not guilty of receiving stolen property. Sacko has also sued car drivers in 2002, 2003, 2008 and 2011 for injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents. Three of the cases were settled, according to Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas civil documents. The fourth and most recent lawsuit was appealed by the defendants, Kathryn and Maryann Butler, when the court ruled in favor of Sacko and granted him over $7,000 from each of them. The case was later overturned in state court in a ruling against Sacko.

when considering the entire Complaint as a whole and reading the allegations in the light most favorable to [Sacko],” the motion said. Penn declined to comment on the case due to its policy not to comment on ongoing litigation. Sacko’s lawyer on the federal case, Anthony Lopresti, and on the state case, Justin Bieber, did not respond to requests for comment. Sacko previously filed a lawsuit against the University regarding the same incident in state court on Feb. 4, 2013. The case was later dismissed on preliminary objections. The facts “describe a scuffle ... pursuant to a routine traffic stop,” Penn wrote in its response to Sacko’s complaint filed with the state. Before the court dismissed the case, it ordered Charlie Hersh, the passenger in Sacko’s cab at the time, to testify. Penn objected, claiming that the “inaccurate information and false representation” about Penn and its officers “may improperly influence

The day after the alleged assault by Penn Police officers, Sacko was told he had a leg fracture at Mercy Philadelphia Hospital’s emergency room, according to his complaint. Sacko also claims that he was injured in his back and neck and suffered emotional damages. Penn’s response to Sacko’s complaint only addressed some of the claims against the University — Penn addressed the other claims in its motion to dismiss some of the charges before trial. The University’s motion to dismiss argued that Sacko “cannot establish a cause of action against Penn based exclusively on the actions of Penn Police Officers” and that the University cannot be held liable. “These allegations [against Penn] are nonfactual, conclusory and nonsensical even

Penn denied the claims of a lawsuit alleging excessive force by Penn Police in a response filed last week. Philadelphia cab driver Saharo Sacko — who filed a lawsuit against the University and four unnamed Penn Police officers on Feb. 7 — is asking for more than $150,000 in damages, as well as legal costs. He is suing Penn for charges related to assault and battery, intentional infliction of severe emotional distress and excessive force. Penn’s response, which was filed on Wednesday, denied all claims of verbal and physical assault by its officers. “To the extent that [Sacko] contends that he was detained and/or physically restrained by Penn, Penn was within its rights to do so,” the response said.

also denies. The University’s response claims that Sacko was following a Penn Police vehicle too closely in inclement weather, which caused his cab to skid on ice and almost hit the police vehicle. Sacko “then continued to drive erratically by swerving into the Penn vehicle” and “became loud and boisterous and refused to present his driver’s license,” the response said. After the alleged assault, Sacko received a ticket for careless driving, which was later dismissed by a Philadelphia Traffic Court, and another ticket for following too closely, which was appealed. Sacko’s complaint claims that he “did not commit any crimes on Feb. 12, 2012,” the day of the alleged assault. Sacko has received 16 driving citations in Philadelphia between 2006 and 2013, according to online records from the Philadelphia Traffic Court Division. The tickets range from failure to use a seatbelt to operating without headlights. He was found

Sacko claims that one of the Penn Police officers physically assaulted him without any warning, pulling him out of his vehicle by his shoulder and violently throwing him against the trunk of the cab. Then, the complaint states, the officers struck Sacko on his back and shoulders. “[Their] actions, and motivation for their actions, were conscience shocking ... and with such wanton and reckless disregard of the consequences as to show [their] deliberate indifference to the danger of harm and injury,” the complaint said. Sacko claims that the officers attempted to cover up the alleged assault by asking his passenger to leave the scene before the alleged physical assault, which Penn

came to one conclusion after watching President Obama plug Obamacare on a hilarious episode of “Between Two Ferns” with Zach Galifianakis: My disillusionment with our political system has reached an all-time high. For someone who even considered running for political office one day, I’ve never been less hopeful about the ability of our legislators to bring about meaningful change, or change at all for that matter. My sentiments toward our student government, particularly the Undergraduate Assembly, mirror those same feelings that I now have about the federal government. The most troubling thing is that I do actually feel like the UA has made significant con-

tributions to student life on campus aside from allotting money to groups that bring us luxuries like Fling artists and “Parks and Rec” actresses. Unfortunately, it appears that those who the UA represents don’t feel as if they are a part of the UA’s vision. This is why we have partnered with the Nominations and Elections Committee to host the UA Presidential Debate this Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Steinberg-Dietrich 215. Like everything we do at the DP, we want you to be a part of the conversation. People don’t realize that the things about Penn they often wish for are issues for which the UA can advocate.

Packing the Palestra

EDITORIAL | Why it’s important for the Penn community to support women’s basketball this week

n Tuesday, Penn women’s basketball defeated fourtime defend ing champion Princeton, 80-64, to win the Ivy League title, clinching its first NCAA Tournament berth in 10 years. However, not many people have been following the team even with the Quakers’ success. All year, the historic Palestra, known as the Cathedral of College Basketball, has sat mostly empty despite basketball games there every weekend. On Penn women’s basketball’s Senior Night, a game that was a mustwin for the Quakers’ Ivy hopes, drew just 1,032 fans, and the team’s season-high in attendance was just a shade better at 1,485. So now it’s time for the Penn community to celebrate the team’s accomplishments. Since November, the Quakers have shown determination, responding to a 31-point loss to Princeton at the Palestra in January by winning 14 of their last 15 games and ending the Tigers’

reign atop the Ancient Eight. “It’s just a huge accomplishment,” senior captain Alyssa Baron said. “We had an overall team effort tonight, and it’s what I’ve been dreaming about for four years. Every year now, we’ve been working towards it and building the pieces of the puzzle, and tonight we were able to get it accomplished. “It is just so gratifying for all our hard work.” The team has also overcome injuries and other adversity along the way. Last year’s starting point guard, sophomore Keiera Ray, has dealt with injuries all year, limiting her playing time and her chance to contribute on the court. Yet the team hasn’t missed a beat with senior point guard Meghan McCullough recovering from an ACL tear that kept her out last season. The senior averaged over 37 minutes per game in Penn’s 14 Ivy games, providing a steady hand to Penn’s oncourt success while serving as the team’s captain. And talent-wise, this team

is as good as it gets, sweeping the Ivy League’s postseason awards, led by Baron, who was the Ancient Eight’s Player of the Year.

‘‘

“I can’t wait to share in that with our players, staff, family, friends, alumni, fans and everyone else who has meant so much to this program over the years.”

As a community, we need to rally around this Ivy championship squad [the women’s basketball team] and celebrate its accomplishments similar to how students packed Rhodes Field for Penn men’s soccer’s NCAA Tournament game.” With the team’s final public appearance at the Palestra on Monday before going off to the NCAA Tournament, it’s time for us to show our appreciation for the continuing success. “Our fans have been a big part of our success,” coach Mike McLaughlin said. “So it is only fitting they share in this experience with us. It’s going to be a great feeling sitting in The Cathedral of College Basketball and seeing our school’s name appear on the bracket.

As a community, we need to rally around this Ivy champion squad and celebrate its accomplishments similar to how students packed Rhodes Field for Penn men’s soccer’s NCAA Tournament game. It shouldn’t take free T-shirts, food and drink or the possibility of Penn being featured live on ESPN to get people to celebrate with the Penn squad, although all of those opportunities are there for the taking. Ultimately, there is no excuse

not to show school spirit right now when you have an Ivy champion inviting you into its arena for free. The last time Penn appeared in an NCAA Tournament in basketball was seven years ago, so our community can’t take this one for granted. But Monday is not the last chance you have to support your classmates. Regardless of whether you come to the Palestra, this Penn squad is NCAA Tournamentbound and will have a game on national television on Saturday or Sunday. So this weekend, take time out of your schedule to join in the Quakers’ journey, whether you have been supporting the team all along or not. Watch the game on television. Root for the Red and Blue. Follow the coverage in The Daily Pennsylvanian all week long. At the end of the day, this week is about something bigger than basketball. It is about corralling school spirit and commending classmates on a major group accomplishment.

More than just wins GUEST COLUMN BY DONALD JOSEPH

ecently, articles about Penn men’s basketball have been filled with highly critical and sometimes quite unkind comments criticizing Jerome Allen’s coaching - many even calling for him to be fired. I disagree. I don’t judge only by the number of wins, but also by what kind of men the coach has produced. The latter is number one. And what the big donors want - an item featured in one article - is not particularly relevant to me as a fan. The support of the loyal fan base is more important. Money will follow success. I have been a fan of Penn basketball since 1965 when I started law school, and I have been an attendee at almost ev-

ery home game over the past 20 years or more. Moreover, I earned letters in the game both in high school and college. And I apparently see the coach and playing on the court differently than most of those commenting. First, see how Allen mentors and leads his players not just during games, but also in meetings and social gatherings. Jerome is first-class as a person and as a leader of men. And he knows the game. His primary goal - like the goal of the legendary coach he played for, Fran Dunphy is to produce, as much as one can, first-rate young men. And before winning is on the scale, dedication to the game is necessary. On the court, his teams have rarely shown a lack of effort. I do note a few games

where the spirit has not been as high as I would have liked. That happens with the best of teams. It is often why very good teams are upset. But for the entirety of his tenure, his teams do not give up. His players respect him and listen - unlike the coach he succeeded. But one must deal with talent and injuries. Some teams can overcome a loss of an important player, but Allen had much more than the loss of one player; he lost several, some for the season and some for significant periods of time. I would hope all agree his injury list is more than one would expect and has had a real effect. Several games lost by 10 points or less would have gone the other way had a few of those injured players been on the floor. If you want to look at his coaching, look at how well Fran Dougherty — a compe-

tent, smart and game player — has grown. And for the problem of how many players make unforced errors, I cannot believe this is because Allen has ignored the problem. I submit that these are the results of something inside the heads of the players. Allen can only do so much with those whose internal demons cause such mistakes. One could, of course, sit those players, but the ones that are left after the injuries are going to do significantly worse. Comparisons to the Glen Miller era are risible. Allen’s record is hardly any different. Miller’s record his first year should be completely discounted when his team won an Ivy championship. It was a team he inherited, which had won two straight and four out of five Ivy League championships. Without that year, their records are not materially different; yet in contrast, Al-

len inherited a team that was zero and seven. He did have a talented Zack Rosen who grew into a star his senior year, dur-

If you want to look at [Allen’s] coaching, look at how well … Fran Dougherty has grown.”

ing which Allen’s team in his second full year went 20-13 and 11-3 in the Ivy. Thus, when he had the horses and Rosen, he demonstrated his ability to coach exceedingly well. No, I’ll take an honorable competent coach who makes men and keeps their respect through the lean times a lot sooner than I’ll care whether Tommy Amaker is my head

coach. According to The New York Times, as Har vard’s coach he has “adopted aggressive recruiting tactics that skirt or, in some cases, may even violate National Collegiate Athletic Association rules.” Indeed, it was reported: “In ... 2010, the NCAA ruled that Amaker had committed a recruiting violation, resulting in NCAA-mandated recruiting restrictions, [Harvard’s] first NCAA penalty of the men’s basketball program.” Give Allen another two to three years to overcome the poor reputation he inherited and the injuries that his team - and many coaches too - have had to endure. I am betting that you will be happy not just with the quality of the commitment and the quality of the young men he coaches, but also with the quality of his record.

Italian restaurant Zavino opens on 32nd & Chestnut The Drexel location is Zavino’s second site in Philadelphia BY JENNY LU Staff Writer Italian restaurant Zavino is hoping to transport the vibe of its 13th Street location to its newest outpost at 3200 Chestnut St. Zavino officially opened its doors Saturday night to a crowd eager to try its signature pizzas, pastas and small plates. Located right by Shake Shack on Drexel’s campus, Zav ino seats about three times more people than the original location on 13th and L ocust st reets. M a nager Erin Miller said that they wanted the new University City location to have the same energy, but in this bigger space. T he l a r ger sp ac e a l so means an expanded kitchen, which Executive Manager Jason Brooke said allows the new restaurant to have

more menu offerings than the original Zavino. S omet h i ng new on t he menu are entree “plates” like Amish chicken served with brussels sprouts, pancetta and sage and Tuscanstyle steak accompanied with roasted fingerling potatoes. Two pastas — a truffle-flavored tonnarelli and a whole wheat cavatelli with basil pesto — are also signature to this location. Many of the specials offered at the 13th Street Zavino, like the spaghetti squash small plate, are now regulars on the new location’s menu. However, the pizza menu is unchanged, preserving favorites like the classic margherita and the polpettini that is topped with ricottastuffed veal meatballs. Miller said with the new space, they also wanted a casual, “family-style” dining experience. The pizzas, baked in one of two gas-fired ovens, are approximately 10 inches in diameter - good to share or have as a personal pizza. By the entrance

to the restaurant is a charcuterie station, where meats are sliced and vegetables are prepared for the tasting boards and salads the restaurant offers. Zavino uses produce from local farms as much as it can, Brooke said. As a result, some options on the menu are completely dependent on produce in season up to the chef’s discretion, such as the seasonal vegetable plate and the garden pizza. Brooke said Zavino’s priority is to use “fresh, vibrant” ingredients for its food and cocktail menu. In the future, Zavino hopes to start offering lunch at this location and, with warmer weather on its way, expand seating outside the restaurant and along Chestnut Street. Zavino is open seven days a week, Sunday to Thursday from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 4:30 p.m. to midnight.

Penn looks to students as future faculty members BY FOLA ONIFADE Staff Writer

Penn students considering a future career in higher education can expect support from the University in their endeavors. At Febr uar y ’s Board of T r u st e e s me et i ng , Pen n P resident A my Gut ma n n and Vice Provost for Faculty Anita Allen said that the University should focus on recruiting professors from Penn’s student body as one way to hire the best faculty. While different programs

c u r r ent ly c r e at e a pip e line for students who may be interested in pursuing professorships, Gutma nn and A llen hope to recr uit more Penn alumni as faculty members by expanding these programs. Gutmann specif ically wa nt s t o i ncr e ase t he amount of alumni hired to the faculty through postdoctoral programs. One such program is the Postdoctoral Fellowships for Academic Diversity, which funds doctoral recipients from diverse backgrounds.

Another graduate program that could serve as a pipeline for Penn students to become faculty is the Fontaine Fellows, which provides fellowships to first generation or economically disadvantaged college students. Gutmann noted the impor t a nce of cont i nu i ng development of existing opportunities for future faculty. “We like the pipeline programs we have and we want to expand them. As we expand them, we also want when we have searches - to consider hiring some of our

Mandatory Health Professions Advisory Board (HPAB) Applicant Workshops

own post-docs and graduate students,” she said. I n spea k i ng about cu r r e nt p ip el i ne p r og r a m s , Gutmann also referred to the Mellon Mays Scholars program, which recruits undergraduate students from u n d e r r e p r e s e nt e d b a c kgrounds to become faculty members. “We’ve had considerable success in [recruiting students through Mellon Mays] and it’s also important that we continue a practice we just started recently of hiring our own graduate and

post-doctoral students into faculty positions,” Gutmann said. The Progress Report on Penn’s Action Plan for Facult y Diversit y and Excellence, which was released in early February, noted that ma ny schools w it h i n t he University tracked whether students were interested in eventually becoming professors. “Under the Action Plan, we expanded post-doc prog r a m s a nd we put mor e f und ing towards those, especially to diversif y the

group of Ph.D. students,” Gutmann said. “We’ve put more resources into expanding the pipeline.” I n t he p a st , Pen n a nd other Iv y Leag ue institutions were hesitant to hire their own students in order to ensure a diversity of ideas among faculty, Gutmann recalled. “Now we have a much more diverse student body and it’s a good thing to hire the best person you can get,” she said. “And if the best person is one of your students, we feel we should hire them.”

Books may be moved to NJ warehouse LIBRARY from page 1 “Such a decision should not be a fait accompli,” the petition reads. “We call on the administration to involve the mathematical community at UPenn in this process and not to take sudden action before other options can be considered fully and openly.” A second online petition has also garnered more than 500 signatures. The University has not yet responded to the protests, but revisions to the original plan are being made, said Dean of the College Dennis DeTurck, who is also a professor of mathematics. DeTurck said that the administration wants to balance the interests of graduate students with “faculty momen-

tum” toward active learning pedagogy. Under the new plan, only 20 percent of the library would be remodeled and all mathematics texts could remain within the room. The plan has not yet been proposed to students. M at hem at ic s g r adu at e students say that efforts to solicit student opinions were inadequate before original decisions were made. “These are unilateral decisions made by the higher-ups in the administration,” said mathematics doctoral candidate Simon Cho. “Now they’re OK kind of ruling by fiat.” Students were given limited time - less than 40 minutes, Cho said - to express their thoughts on the decision in a March 5 meeting with Vice Provost and Director of Libraries H. Carton Rogers III. “They basically told us that if we didn’t come up with a better suggestion within the span of the ... meeting, they would go ahead with it,” Cho said. Mathematics doctoral candi-

After students voiced dissent and submitted a petition with more than 500 signatures, administrators are considering less dramatic changes to DRL’s library.

date Brett Frankel emphasized that graduate-level mathematics research is very dependent on print sources. One source often references another, and a mathematics graduate student might go through five sources before finding the needed information, Frankel said. Many mathematical texts do not exist in electronic form, and books stored off-site at a warehouse in New Jersey, which was the University’s original plan for the texts, would take four to five days to access - a potentially crippling amount of time for a researcher. There are alternatives to repurposing part of the MathPhysics-Astronomy Library, including building the active learning classroom on DRL’s ground floor where there are currently auditorium-style classrooms. Cho, Patel and Frankel acknowledged that other plans have drawbacks, as well - like further taxing DRL’s overbooked classrooms - but felt that maintaining a working library is of para-

mount importance for the math department. Cho, Patel and Frankel also said that sacrificing library space could lead Penn to sacrifice promising prospective students, as well. “When prospective grad students [and faculty] come visit, we can’t truthfully tell them we have a library,” Patel said. And that, Frankel added, is enough to dissuade admitted students from attending. Patel, who was an active learning TA, accepted that changes must be made to accommodate it, but wished the changes were not at the cost of graduate learning and faculty research. “I think it’s kind of the wrong way to go about it if you have to cannibalize the things that make up a strong education,” Cho said. Frankel agreed. “This library that we have is a very, very valuable resource and that if Penn still aspires to be an elite research institution, they’ll leave that alone,” he said.

SL: The music we wrote in the beginning was more lo fi, kind of like DIY music, and then we wrote the album while we were traveling together in France, and then when we came back from France we put it together, and ... with the two of us and a laptop it was almost like karaoke, and so we added a bass and drums and started playing more of a rock sound that people could dance to. Our songs changed as the live show developed. DP: How would you describe your sound now? SL: What’s listed on our website is “triumphant synth rock.” We try to play music

that people can relate to immediately, that’s fun and that people can dance to live. We try to think of ourselves as a rock band. DP: You’ve been on tour quite a bit recently - what’s been the best part? SL: I think it’s just meeting all the people you meet on tour. Especially meeting the bands you get to play with every night, whether it’s the bands you’re touring with or the opener - the bands, the people at the venues - everyone in my experience is really, really nice, and everyone really cares about music, and they’re in it for the same reasons we’re in it. I guess it’s being with the people we love every night. ... I know it sounds really cheesy, but I know it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and the fact that we can do it and people will come see it is sort of humbling and exciting. KG: What’s been your favorite thing that a crowd has done during a live performance?

SL: One night in Toronto, we blew a fuse that controlled the lighting board, so all the lights went out and we were playing in the dark for about 30 minutes, and it was a little awkward at first, but it was kind of fun, and also then the crowd started holding up the flashlights on their phones, so it was like a sea of little fireflies - it was really beautiful. We actually started trying to get people to do that at some shows. ... We’ll lower the house lights and they’ll lift up their phones. I guess it’s like the 21st century version of holding up a lighter. That’s the first thing that comes to mind, but honestly we’ve played for some incredible crowds so I’m sure I could think of 10 more.

DP: What’s one thing you never expected to happen when you entered the music business? SL: Maybe it’s cheesy, but I never really expected any of this to happen. We started just playing music for ourselves and playing live for our friends because it was fun, so I never expected that we’d be able to play with all the bands we’ve played with or to have people recognize us on the street. It’s all very surreal. Maybe it’s because we’re a new band so it’s still exciting. I want to pretend I’m like a seasoned rock veteran, but I’m not at all.

past summer, and we’ve been working on it when we’re home from touring. We worked on it a lot at our home studio in Providence and also with a producer in Brooklyn, New York - his name is Alex Aldi, he’s done Passion Pit, Holy Ghost and a bunch of awesome records that we love. It will be out hopefully this year, probably summer, maybe early fall. DP: Are you looking forward to playing to a college-student crowd at Penn in April? SL: Totally! I’m definitely looking forward to it. College shows are a lot of fun because kids know how to have a good time and they get excited about the music. DP: What’s the craziest thing you’ve experienced during your musical career? SL: One thing that comes to mind immediately is when we went on tour with Walk the Moon - they’re one of my favorite bands, actually - but the last show we did with them dur-

ing their song Shiver Shiver, we actually went on stage and did a choreographed dance while they were playing that was choreographed for an old promo video. So we were just doing this dance behind them on stage, and I never thought I would be a backup dancer for one of my favorite bands. DP: Between the touring and the new album, you guys definitely seem like you’re on an upward trajectory. How do you plan to stay grounded? SL: Being on tour is a real ego boost and a humbling experience because you’ll play for 500,000 people one night and everyone’s cheering, and then the next day you’re waiting outside a truck stop bathroom or you’re in the car for ten hours and you’re lost or something like that. There are moments that do keep you grounded. It’s always good to remember that you’re there because the fans hopefully like the music. We’re just incredibly lucky to be doing what we’re doing.

Against Yale, the Quakers had plenty of opportunities on both sides of the ball, but struggled to come up with the goals and defensive stops they needed. T he R e d a nd Blue st i l l managed to win the game, but it was far from the performance that was expected of them.

For Penn, the v ictor y against the Elis marked the team’s 11th consecutive win within the Iv y League and the 50th win in the team’s past 52 Ivy contests. However, the real history was made for Corbett as she notched her 152nd win, passing the mark set by Anne Sage from 1974-1998. Corbett’s work as a coach has been incredible, as the record w in is far from the most impressive of her accomplishments. The Quakers have won the past seven Ivy League championships under her watch and since taking over the prog ram in 20 0 0, Corbett has amassed a 70-30 record in the Ancient Eight. “I didn’t even really know [ becoming the all-time leader in wins] was on the horizon. I don’t really think about those things,” Corbett said. “I’ve had tremendous assistant coaches, so much support, the administration, admissions and financial aid.

Red and Blue falls to Tigers in season finale

M. HOOPS | Despite a halftime lead, the Quakers fell to Princeton, 70-65 BY HOLDEN MCGINNIS Associate Sports Editor PRINCETON - It was a bit too much to ask for. A second upset win over the Tigers this season and another upset to follow the thrilling womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game that came before. In its final game of the season, Penn menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball came out and nearly upset Princeton, claiming a halftime lead before ultimately falling, 70-65. â&#x20AC;&#x153;8-20 is not acceptable, but I have an appreciation for [the seniors] trying to do the right things,â&#x20AC;? coach Jerome Allen said. Early on, Penn (8-20, 5-9 Ivy) played the Tigers (20-8, 8-6) tight, with neither team taking more than a six-point lead throughout the first half. Penn found success inside e a rly on w it h sophomor e center Darien Nelson-Henry contributing 12 points on 6 -for- 8 shooting. However, late in the half, Nelson-Henry would go to the bench grimacing and icing his left hip. â&#x20AC;&#x153; E ver y ga me , t he f i r st thing on our board offensively is play inside-out,â&#x20AC;? Allen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought in spurts tonight we were patient enough, we got guys in position and we were able to do some things in the paint. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we

set out to play.â&#x20AC;? The Quakers played the entire half rather cleanly with just five turnovers, and played strong perimeter defense, two areas where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had issues earlier in the season. Penn held the Tigers scoreless over the final 3:45 heading into the break ahead, 31-29. T he se c ond h a l f b ega n much the same way, with the Quakers extending their lead to six behind strong defense and a mistake-free offensive attack. However, midway through the half, the Tigers began to take control after a fourpoint play f rom f reshman guard Steven Cook brought them within two around the 13-minute mark. After a few sloppy plays, a layup from freshman forward Spencer Weisz put Princeton in a lead that it would not surrender. The Quakers attempted to rally, but Princeton found ways to answer right back and closed the game out. Senior guard T. J. Bray, the Ivy Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading scorer, led the way for Princeton, pouring in 18 points to go along with seven rebounds and three assists. For the Quakers, it was the big men inside who made the impact. Senior forward Fran Dougherty and Nelson-Henry combined to shoot 17-for-28, while scoring 38 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Mean-

while, the rest of the team shot 9-for-31. For the seniors, this was the last game of their careers and the end of a very disappointing season for the Quakers. When the season began, the Quakers were projected to finish second in the conference, yet ended with a 5-9 Ivy record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to look at it as just â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Our senior year didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go our way,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Dougherty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through a lot of ups and downs, some great seasons and some not-so great seasons.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I put more pressure on myself than anyone, and to be honest I could care less with what the periphery says,â&#x20AC;?

Despite a close game against Princeton, seniors Fran Dougherty and Dau Jok could not end their careers with a win.

Penn drops six of eight on road trip BASEBALL | Quakers drop several close games as Connor Cuff dazzles opponents BY SEAMUS POWERS Staff Writer Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be hard pressed to find anyone with a busier spring break than Penn baseball, a team that played eight games in a 10-day span. Traversing the Mid-Atlantic, the Quakers went 2-6 against solid competition. Although Penn (2-9) dropped six of its eight contests over the break, the Red and Blue were competitive throughout, losing by no more than two runs during the trip. Junior righty Connor Cuff, who was named the Big 5 Player of the Week, solidified himself as Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number one while another pitcher, Jeff McGarry, emerged as a surprise slugger. In clashes with Navy and Towson, the Quakers bats could not provide enough support for their pitchersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; solid performances in cold conditions. The Quakers were edged 2-1 by Navy (9-9) on Friday in a game where errors accounted for two of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three runs. Cuff did all he could to keep the Red and Blue in the game, fanning six and giving up one earned run in eight innings of work. Towson (9-5) held on for a 4-2 win over Penn the following afternoon. The Tigers scored all four of their runs in the first five innings off of junior southpaw Ronnie Glenn, who suffered his second loss on the young season. The Quakers plated runners

On his way to being named Big 5 Player of the Week, Penn junior pitcher Connor Cuff limited Navy to one run in eight innings while striking out six batters. off of a Mitch Montaldo double and Brandon Engelhardt single in the seventh, but would not get any closer. The Red and Blue came up short once again on Sunday, losing 7-5 to Monmouth (3-9). The Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bats came alive in the fifth as they scored four runs off of four hits in the top of the frame. Gautieri, who struck out nine, left in the seventh and Monmouth expanded its lead in the top of the eighth off the Penn bullpen. The Quakers and new head coach John Yurkow finally found their elusive first win at Delaware State (9-5) on Tuesday, as they swept an afternoon doubleheader by scores of 4-1 and 17-9, respectively. Jeff McGarry had an RBI single in the third and a solo shot in the sixth to put the Quakers ahead, 2-1, in the first game. Marshall Harden provided some insurance with a two-run single in the seventh to make the score 4-1. In what was an offensive eruption, the Quakers scattered 14 hits and blasted three home runs in a 17-9 victory to complete the afternoon sweep

of Delaware State. McGarry, sophomore Ryan Mincher and junior Matt McKinnon all went deep. McGarry and McKinnon were also two of Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players with multiple hits. Making his first start, freshman left-hander Jack Hartman allowed two runs in five innings to earn his first career win. A five-man relief effort capped off by sophomore Mitch Holtz was enough to keep the Hornets at bay. The Quakers reverted to losing by slim margins again during the second weekend of the trip against Richmond (7-10-1). The Spiders swept the three game series by scores of 6-5, 5-3 and 1-0, respectively. In the first and most eventful game of the series, the two squads played extra innings after being tied at three runs apiece. A two-run homer from Connor Betbeze in the top of the 11th gave Penn a 5-3 lead, but the Spiders countered with three runs of their own in the bottom of the frame and walked off with a win. Penn will resume play at Villanova on Wednesday.

Penn beats Villanova but falls to Princeton in Ivy opener M. LACROSSE | After three straight wins, the Quakers were unable to outplay the Tigers BY ALEXIS ZIEBELMAN Associate Sports Editor Penn menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse split its slate of games over spring break. At the beg inning of the stretch, the Quakers beat Big 5 rival Villanova, 12-11, for their third win in a row. The win over the Wildcats (1-4) was big for Penn, not only in terms of confidence but also in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ranking. Because the two teams play a similar style, Villanova was a

tough opponent. For the fourth time in five years, the game was a decided by one goal. Dow n 11-7 in the four th quarter, the Quakers came back to win the match and notch their third nonconference win. Senior Drew Belinsk y scored off of a feed from Zack Losco to even the score in the fourth. Soon after, Joe McCallion scored off of an assist from Belinksky to put the Quakers ahead for the first time in the match. While they ultimately defeated the Wildcats, the next contest for the Red and Blue was less favorable. In their Iv y opener, the Quakers fell to Princeton,

Penn came close to mounting a comeback similar to the Villanova game, but Princeton (3-2, 1-0) was able to hold off the Quakers after building its lead in the second quarter. The Tigers led Penn by three at the half and used fourgoal performances from Tom Schreiber and Ryan Ambler to pull off the win. While the Red and Blue have been able to take down several tough opponents this season, they will need to continue that play against their Ivy foes. S t i l l , t he r e we r e s ome

Fellow junior Chris Hupfeldt recorded two goals to add to the Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tally. Contrary to their previous games, the Quakers did not fall behind early. Rather, Penn lost momentum in the middle of the game and never had the capacity to recover. While Princeton is a fierce opponent of the Quakers, it would have been a big win if the Red and Blue were able to beat the Tigers. The Quakers next face off against Cornell on March 22.

W. HOOPS from page 16 man center hit jumper after jumper off assists from senior captains Meghan McCullough and Courtney Wilson. “I thought Alyssa put a lot on her shoulders. We rely on her for a lot of things, and I thought she was special tonight,” McLaughlin said. “Mentally, physically, she is a gifted athlete. She is a determined athlete, and I am just super proud of her.” By halftime, the Red and Blue were in full control, leading the Tigers, 32-19. Penn had a banner first half, shooting 43.8 percent from the field while outrebounding the Tigers, 21-16. But Princeton came out of the half firing. Thanks to quick layups by Taylor Williams and Blake Dietrick, the Tigers cut the lead quickly to nine and looked ready to challenge Penn. Yet Penn would not wilt under the pressure. Roche answered with a big three-pointer, pre-

Quakers prove to be premier Ivy squad STEELE from page 16 point, to fill the void. And in the spirit of this season’s Penn squad, there was absolutely no drop off. The same can be said when sophomore guard Keiera Ray missed a large portion of the season due to injury. No excuses, no significant hiccups, just progress. It’s also impossible to overlook the impact of freshman center Sydney Stipanovich. Since the Ivy Rookie of the Year entered the starting lineup on Jan. 22 against Temple, the Quakers are 14-1, and her presence inside played a dramatic role in getting Penn to the top of the conference this season. “I don’t know if a freshman has impacted the league the way she

venting Princeton from getting within nine, something the Tigers were unable to do the entire second half. Roche finished with 17 points, making three treys but none bigger than that one early in the second half. “I love what Kathleen did tonight,” McLaughlin said. “She was the first one on the court tonight ... and she shoots the ball more than any basketball player I’ve ever seen.” After a Baron triple, Penn was off again, extending its lead to the biggest it had been all game thanks to Baron controlling the offensive end and Princeton jumpers that kept hitting the front of the rim. However, the Tigers had another run left in them, led by the team’s strong depth. Down 42-25, sophomore guard Annie Tarakchian went on her own 7-0 run, cutting Penn’s lead to 10. While Penn would answer with two buckets from Wilson, senior guard Nicole Hung got Princeton four more quick points to keep the score close, 46-36. Princeton kept going offensively, getting big three-pointers from Dietrick and easy layups inside from Tarakchian and Kristen Helmstetter.

MONDAY, MARCH 17, 2014 PAGE 15

THEY SAID IT Mike McLaughlin Penn coach

Yet Penn kept answering. Roche drained another big threepointer to keep the lead in double digits and the duo of Baron and Stipanovich helped the Quakers with some big assists to keep their offense flowing, helping Penn lead, 62-50, with under five minutes to play. “It was vital to keep our intensity up the entire game,” Stipanovich said. “In any game, we try to keep the intensity high, but tonight the energy was there.” And from there, the Red and Blue turned to their free-throw shooting to keep the Tigers at bay. Ultimately, the Quakers didn’t let the pressure get to them, made their free throws and celebrated an Ivy championship on the Tigers homecourt. With 35.9 seconds lef t , McLaughlin let himself begin the celebration, taking out McCullough and giving her a big hug in front of Penn’s bench. “I said [to Meghan], ‘We did it,'” McLaughlin said. “That’s what she wanted. That’s what she wanted to feel. As a coach, you just want those special moments for your kids that you can’t go back on. I told them in the locker room ... you are going to live with this forever.” The game was in many ways

“I don’t think these guys could have written a better script the way it ended tonight,” — On Penn’s win over Princeton on Tuesday

the opposite of the two teams’ first meeting on Jan. 11, in which the Tigers raced out to an early lead and never looked back, finishing off Penn in the early second half to win, 84-53. Baron finished with a gamehigh 23 points while also tallying four assists for the Quakers. Meanwhile, Stipanovich scored 19 points and added nine rebounds as well. The duo went 14for-15 from the free-throw line, making clutch shots as the clock ticked away. Penn will find out on Monday who its next opponent is. The last time Penn played in the NCAA Tournament in 2004, the Quakers played as a 16 seed against No. 1 Connecticut. But more importantly, the Red and Blue picked up the biggest win of the McLaughlin era, finishing their ascent up the Ivy League and taking down Princeton in the process. “It’s just a huge accomplishment,” Baron said. “We had an overall team effort tonight, and it’s what I’ve been dreaming about for four years. Every year now, we’ve been working towards it and building the pieces of the puzzle, and tonight we were able to get it accomplished. “It is just so gratifying for all our hard work.”

AT A GLANCE Star of the game: Penn Sr. G Alyssa Baron

In her final regular season game at Penn, Baron came through with one of her top per formance s of the year, scoring a gamehigh 23 points. Baron, the Ivy League Player of the Year, is second in Penn history in points scored.

Play of the game: Kathleen Roche’s threepointer with 19:01 to play

Princeton threatened to come back early in the second half, cutting a 13-point halftime deficit to nine just 48 seconds into the second half. However, Roche, as she did all night, came through with a clutch three-pointer, bringing Penn’s lead back to doubledigits before Baron tacked on another triple to extend the Quakers’ lead further. Roche finished with 17 points on 6-for-11 shooting.

has on both ends of the court,” McLaughlin said after the game. “I want to say that because she was the final piece.” Not only does Penn have the physical tools and the bodies that most champions do, but the mental resolve as well. The Quakers overcame the injuries to Allen and Ray, a 31-point blowout loss in their first Ivy contest against these same Tigers and a stunning defeat to Dartmouth nearly three weeks ago to reach this point. Nobody said it would be easy, but nobody said it would be this hard either. Over and over in 2013-14, Penn regrouped, responded and rebuilt. As a result, the Quakers are champions of the Ivy League, having knocked Princeton from its pedestal atop the Ancient Eight. For decades, Penn and Princeton have been the two teams that dominated men’s basketball in the Ivy League. Until Harvard emerged as the powerhouse of the conference in recent years, there was Penn and there was

Princeton. Then there was everyone else. With the Tigers thrashing the Ancient Eight over the past four years on the women’s side, it was almost unfathomable to believe the Red and Blue could rise from the bottom of the conference to pose a legitimate threat to Princeton. But here we are, five years into McLaughlin’s tenure, and the Quakers have gone from worst to first. And with Stipanovich, Ray, Allen and juniors Kara Bonenberger and Kathleen Roche returning next season, it’s not hard to picture McLaughlin’s squad

maintaining its stranglehold on the Ivy title. But we’ve got eight months to worry about the start of next season. Now is the time for all of us to enjoy the ride on which the Red and Blue are taking us. And now, only one phrase matters to McLaughlin, Baron, McCullough, Wilson and fellow senior Kristen Kody. The Quakers are going to the Big Dance.

PENN (22-6, 12-2 IVY)

PRINCETON (20-8, 11-3 IVY)

NEXT GAME: NCAA TOURNAMENT | SAT/SUN

W. HOOPS | The Quakers upset Princeton to win their first Ivy title since 2004 BY STEVEN TYDINGS Senior Sports Editor

PRINCETON - Five years ago, Princeton stood atop the Ivy League, peering all the way down at Penn women’s basketball, which finished the first year

of Mike McLaughlin’s tenure as coach with a 2-26 record. But with the Tigers as four-time defending champions, Penn did the unthinkable. The Quakers came into Jadwin, pushed the Tigers around and took the Ivy title, clinching a berth into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in a decade and just the third time in program history. “I don’t think these guys could have written a better script the way it ended tonight,” McLaughlin said.

Led by senior captain Alyssa Baron and freshman sensation Sydney Stipanovich, Penn women’s basketball took down the heavily-favored Tigers, 80-64, and will await an unknown opponent in next week’s NCAA Tournament. The game started out slow, with the two squads exchanging jumpers. Baron got Penn (22-6, 12-2 Ivy) going early with a few points, but Princeton guard Michelle Miller answered with a threepointer, leaving the Quakers with a 6-5 lead.

And then the Red and Blue took over. Junior forward Kara Bonenberger got a rebound and a layup. Stipanovich hit a jumper. And then junior guard Kathleen Roche hit a three. Meanwhile, Princeton (20-8, 11-3) couldn’t get out of its own way, turning the ball over with reckless abandon, tallying 12 turnovers before halftime. And Baron began to take over with Stipanovich by her side. As the fresh-

Don’t expect incredible ride to end anytime soon RILEY STEELE PRINCETON - As senior Alyssa Baron stood at the free-throw line late in the second half, the moment in Jadwin Gym seemed almost surreal. With only 35 seconds remaining and

the Quakers about to go up by 16, coach Mike McLaughlin subbed senior guard Meghan McCullough out of the game. The two embraced in celebration, hugging each other for what seemed like an eternity. Neither wanted the moment to end. The good news for Penn women’s basketball? This ride isn’t ending anytime soon. For many across the country, the Quakers’ win over Princeton in the de facto Ivy League title game was a shocking upset. But that shouldn’t be the case. Over the course of the 14-game con-

ference slate, Penn proved time and time again that it is the premier team in the Ancient Eight. This year’s Red and Blue squad has everything of which champions are made. The conversation about Penn starts with its veteran leadership, and rightfully so. There is absolutely zero chance that the Quakers would have left Jadwin to cut down the Palestra nets without the steady hand of Baron and her 23 points and seven rebounds. But the unheralded leadership of her fellow senior backcourt mate McCullough cannot be overstated.

Penn undeniably has the depth that is a necessity for all champions. Though that may not have been on display against the Tigers — only seven Quakers played meaningful minutes — the quality of the Red and Blue’s bench has served the team well all season. When junior forward Katy Allen was lost for the rest of the 2013-14 campaign two weeks ago with a foot injury, the Quakers didn’t blink. Instead, McLaughlin simply turned to senior forward Courtney Wilson, a player who was seldom used this year up until that

Quakers to watch selection show at the Palestra

Penn women’s basketball is celebrating its bid to the Tournament with fans tonight BY STEVEN TYDINGS Senior Sports Editor

Amanda Suarez/Managing Editor

Penn women’s basketball celebrated a well-earned victory on Tuesday, taking down four-time defending champion Princeton to claim the Ivy title. The team will find out its first-round opponent in the NCAA Tournament tonight at 7:00 p.m. at the Palestra.

Selection Monday is going to be a big night for Penn women’s basketball, and the Quakers are going to let the rest of Penn’s campus

celebrate with them. The Quakers won the Ivy League title and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament with their win over Princeton. As a result, the team will hold a Selection Show watch party on Monday at the Palestra that will be open to the public. The videoboard at the Cathedral of College Basketball will display the selection show, which will be televised live on ESPN. The show

will announce the field of 64 for this year’s NCAA Tournament and the Quakers will find out their opponent at home. The doors to the Palestra will open at 6:15 p.m., and the first 200 fans will receive free T-shirts, while all fans in attendance will have the opportunity to take pictures with the Ivy League championship trophy. There will also be streamers for fans to throw when the Quakers

are announced, a nod to the longstanding Palestra tradition. “Our fans have been a big part of our success,” coach Mike McLaughlin said in a press release. “So it is only fitting they share in this experience with us. It’s going to be a great feeling sitting in The ‘Cathedral of College Basketball’ and seeing our school’s name appear on
