College sophomore Nathaniel Rome’s petition to remove Ohio Gov. John Kasich from the Penn-sylvania ballot may have a “fatal

defect,” Kasich’s attorney said this week.

It was submitted 13 minutes too late.

At a Commonwealth Court hear-ing on Mar. 9 in Harrisburg, Pa., Kasich’s attorney Lawrence Otter argued that Rome’s petition should be dismissed because it was sub-mitted at 5:13 p.m. The deadline for

responses, he said, was 5 p.m.This failure to file in a timely

manner constitutes “a fatal defect which renders the petition a Nul-lity,” Otter wrote in a motion to dismiss the suit.

On Feb. 23, Rome, the chair-man of Pennsylvania Students for Rubio, filed a challenge to Kasich’s position on the Pennsylvania ballot,

arguing that of the 2,184 signatures the Ohio governor submitted, 802 were ineligible. Candidates need 2,000 signatures to be on the state-wide ballot.

Otter agreed in a stipulation with Rome that 192 of those signatures were invalid due to “garden variety

Starting with the 2016-17 season, the Ivy League’s so-called “14-Game Tour-nament” will get a slight makeover.

The Ivy League Council of Presi-dents has voted to approve a four-team postseason tournament for men’s and women’s basketball, the league an-nounced in a press release on Thursday. The first iteration of the tournament will take place in 2017 over two days at the Palestra with the men’s and women’s semifinal games on Saturday, March 11, and both championship games on Sunday, March 12.

“The tournament will add excitement and give an additional opportunity to spotlight our talented athletic scholars,” Penn athletic director Grace Calhoun said in a statement. “It is a special honor

for the Penn community to host the in-augural championships at our iconic venue.”

Adding a post-season tournament will extend the length of the men’s and women’s seasons by one week. To com-pensate for this extension, each team will play one less regular season non-conference game.

“My sense is that there is broad sup-port here for [a tournament],” Penn President Amy Gutmann said during an interview with the Daily Pennsylvanian in January. “I have spoken to Grace Cal-houn about it and so I know that there is strong support here at Penn for it.”

Calhoun played an important role in the decision to implement an Ivy tournament, serving on a working com-mittee of athletic directors and coaches that made the eventual recommenda-tion on the tournament and its format. Although the committee was formed

PRINCETON — Party like it’s 2014. Or 2001. Either way works.

Thanks to some clutch play late from its starting guards, Penn women’s basketball went into to Princeton’s Jadwin Gym and knocked off the Tigers in a winner-take-all matchup for the second time in three seasons. With the 62-60 win on Tuesday, the Quakers clinched

the fourth Ivy League championship in program history, sweeping their archrival for the first time since an undefeated run through the confer-ence 15 years ago.

“It doesn’t get any better than this,” coach Mike McLaughlin said. Hard to imagine it does.

Now, having played three games in five days to capture the Ancient Eight title, the Red and Blue (24-4, 13-1 Ivy) will have to wait until Monday night to see who and when they will play in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament, not to men-tion the identity of their opponent.

“I just told them [after the game],

you get these opportunities not too many times in sports, and to cel-ebrate something like this, I want them to enjoy every moment of it,” McLaughlin said. “We talked about some space being up on the top of that Palestra just for them.

“To be in the company of all those other great Penn teams, it’s pretty special.”

Almost exactly two months after their Ivy opener at the Palestra, this matchup between the Quakers and Princeton (23-5, 12-2) was nearly a carbon copy of their first affair. An overwhelmingly defensive game throughout, Penn surged ahead early

in the second half before rebounding from a run by the Tigers and ulti-mately holding on down the stretch.

Princeton got the scoring under-way with two early baskets from senior Alex Wheatley. Soon thereaf-ter, the Red and Blue’s guards stole the show in the opening frame, as junior Kasey Chambers and sopho-mores Lauren Whitlatch and Anna Ross combined to score all of Penn’s 14 first-quarter points.

The Quakers found themselves leading by three after 10 minutes despite two early fouls on both Ross and junior Sydney Stipanovich. However, the squad clamped down

defensively throughout much of the first half, using a dynamic full-court press to force four Tiger turnovers in the second quarter while making Princeton’s potent offense uncom-fortable.

“We just wanted to put as much pressure on them up front because we didn’t want to guard them [in the halfcourt], they have so many kids who can score and we didn’t want to guard them 25 seconds each pos-session,” McLaughlin said. “But our hands were really active, I thought Kasey and Anna up front were great.”

Although the teams combined

to hit only 10 of their first 41 shots, the tempo picked up significantly before halftime. After the Tigers took a 21-20 lead, the Quakers used a 12-5 run — keyed by a Whitlatch three and six points from Ross — in the last 2:35 of the second quarter to head into the break up by six.

“I thought it might take 65 points tonight to win and we needed to find a way to score,” McLaughlin noted. “And I thought we did a good enough job tonight getting some points in transition and hitting some timely threes.”

issues.” Generally, ineligible signatures come from voters that are not registered for the candidate’s party or not regis-tered to vote at all.

While this stipulation would appear to verify the merits of Rome’s lawsuit, Otter said the Commonwealth Court should not even have the jurisdiction to review the challenge because it

was filed past the deadline.Petitions to be on the Penn-

sylvania ballot for the April 26 primary are due by 5 p.m. on Feb. 16. State law stipulates that anyone challenging the status of those petitions must file a response within seven days. Rome’s documents were sub-mitted on Feb. 23 — seven days later — at 5:13 p.m.

“Full seven days takes you to 5 p.m. on Feb. 23. There’s no dispute about that,” Otter said.

Rome’s attorney John G. Bravacos said in court that Rome should have had until 11:59 p.m. to submit his docu-ments. When reached by phone, Bravacos said he was not able to comment at the time.

Otter said Commonwealth Court Judge Bonnie Leadbet-ter was unaware of a precedent to such a case and given its timeliness and relevance to the ongoing primary elections, would refer the question to her

fellow magistrates. The result could be either a three-judge panel to decide the case or, potentially, a referral to the Su-preme Court of Pennsylvania.

The case did not escape the attention of 1968 Whar-ton g raduate Dona ld Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, who tweeted: “Wow, Kasich didn’t qual-ify to run in the state of Pennsylvania, not enough

signatures. Big problem!”On Sunday, Kasich’s

campaign spokesman Rob Nichols called on Rubio’s campaign to drop the suit. In an interview with Bloomberg Politics he said, “Senator Rubio should tell his people to drop this suit and to have his super-PAC quit attacking John Kasich in Florida.”

Otter has until Monday to file an additional brief in the case while Bravacos must

submit one by Wednesday. In between those dates, an important election may render the entire case moot.

Kasich’s home state of Ohio and Sen. Marco Rubio’s native Florida both hold their pri-maries on March 15. Both candidates are widely predicted to drop out of the Republican presidential campaign if they lose their home states.

Recent poll ing suggests that Kasich is nearly tied with

Wharton professor attempts to predict elections

As the presidential primaries progress, the question of who will end up as the Republican and Democratic nominees has reached a fever point. Wharton marketing professor J. Scott Armstrong has the answer — or at least he’s working on it.

Armstrong, along with a group of political scientists,

created PollyVote.com in 2003 to predict presidential elec-tions, beginning with the 2004 election . Like ESPN writer Nate Silver’s popular FiveThir-tyEight blog, PollyVote uses evidence-based methods of forecasting to make political predictions.

While the website focuses on the presidential election, its main purpose is to compare different methodologies of forecasting.

“What we were trying to do is to demonstrate to the world

that if you use what we call ‘evidence based pr inciples forecasting,’ you can improve just about any forecast in the world,” Armstrong said. He chose the presidential election for the purpose of gaining at-tention from the press and the general public.

Armstrong believes his staff does a far more comprehensive job than the more noteworthy FiveThirtyEight.

“They also do combining, not nearly to the extent we do,” Armstrong said, adding that

Silver “uses his judgment and that’s not a good idea, but it makes it more interesting for people.”

PollyVote, in contrast to other businesses or government agencies, combine forecasts for improved accuracy. Their most up-to-date forecast of the presidential election has the Democratic Party taking the general election with 52.7 per-cent of the vote.

“Most people think if you look at a forecast, you should try to pick the best one, but that’s false,” Armstrong noted. “In fact, if you use a combined forecast, you can very often, very often, do better than the best component in that combi-nation.”

“Combination” entails the inclusion of multiple statistical factors together to predict out-comes.

Armstrong uses about 10 econometr ic models, po-litical polls, expert opinions, prediction markets and citizen forecasts.

One model he uses is called a “biographical model,” which draws from the biographical in-formation about the candidate to predict the outcome of the election.

“If we have a lot of informa-tion about the background of that candidates, if that’s all the information we have, we can get a pretty good forecast of who is going to win,” Armstrong said.

1968 Wharton graduate and Republican presidential candi-date Donald Trump scores very poorly on the bio-index.

“We’ve never had anybody so low, it’s astonishing,” Arm-strong said. “That should be an indication to the party that they are going to have a real problem if they select Trump.”

On the PollyVote website, users can actually calculate their own biographical index to see how well they would fare against Trump or Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

PollyVote includes the pre-dictions and news, along with complete explanations of the process used to forecast. As for the future, Armstrong said that the site will add factors to assist people in choosing a candidate and choosing which issues to advertise and help people im-prove the persuasiveness of their advertisements.

“Getting rid of subjectivity and combining are the two key things,” Armstrong said. “So far, it’s been the most accurate way to forecast the election.”

A new hair care startup — founded by a Wharton MBA student and a hairdresser — promises to make hairdressers more profitable and hair more healthy.

Jack Winn Color, which was founded in early 2015, produces a dye that is healthy for the head, not just the hair. The dye is made out of several natural ingre-dients: argan oil, rice protein, calendula extract, and aloe vera. Co-founder Jack Winn explained that the aloe vera cleanses and protects the scalp — something he says is unique to his product.

Jack Winn Color operates very differently from other hair product lines. The company has “re-engineered the supply chain,” said Mark Shorr, the company’s Chief Financial Officer.

In a traditional hair dye supply chain, there are four steps be-tween the manufacturing of the hair dye and the distribution to the hairdressers. Each of the four steps is expensive, Winn said, and each month hairdressers

spend $500 to $700 on dye — much of which does not go towards the actual production of the dye. What Jack Winn Color has managed to do is eliminate the intermediate steps and spend all the money hairdressers pay for the dye on research and develop-ment in order to create a stronger, more sustainable product.

Jack Winn Color has eliminated one of the inter-mediate steps that involves representatives from various hair dye companies traveling to salons and taking orders of stylists by handling all order online.

They also offer several incen-tives to hairdressers to buy the product — the first time a hair-dresser orders Jack Winn Color, he or she gets 20 percent cash back. All purchases following the initial purchase give 10 percent cash back to hairdressers. And all referrals that hairdressers make to other hairdressers also get them 10 percent cash back on future purchases.

Jack Winn Color is also slowly beginning to see clients of hair-dressers request the product at their appointments, which, added Winn, is the greatest compliment to the company.

The company grew out of a

Wharton Field Application Project (FAP), a project that offers Wharton MBAs the opportunity to recommend solutions to major problems facing local and national busi-nesses. Students divide into teams of four to six partici-pants and spend two semesters working together. At the end of the program, the teams are expected to produce a written document describing future recommendations.

Unlike most FAPs, in which the companies meet the MBAs when they begin working on the project, Mark Shorr and Jack Winn were good friends prior to the launch of Jack Winn Color. Winn attributes the success of Jack Winn Color to an unprecedented integra-tion between the concept of hair dye and social selling — the process of developing re-lationships as part of the sales process.

“[Social selling] works really well with consumer products…Most consumer products in the hair color space have just been taking most of the profits. So we’re making this huge change [by sharing with hairdressers], ” Shorr said.

Over the last few years, tech-nology has made an enormous impact on the college admissions process — for better or for worse.

New technologies make it easier for prospective students to learn about Penn — through platforms like the University of Pennsylvania YouTube channel and the Penn Admissions Blog, students all over the world can now explore Penn without ever having to visit.

“I think it’s a lot easier to reach out to a broad audience from a Penn admissions standpoint,” said Wharton and Nursing freshman Kelsey Gross, who writes for the Penn Admissions blog. “There are definitely some students in far-out places that would probably be great candidates to go to Penn, but reaching them traditionally through snail mail or calling them on the phone isn’t going to have the same effect as having them being able to access the internet, log on, watch a video of someone at Penn living their life or read a blog post or see pictures.”

The blog provides incoming and interested students a look at

the day-to-day life at Penn through the perspective of current Penn stu-dents. According to College junior Ray Clark, who joined the blog as a freshman and has written over a hun-dred posts, it really does have an impact.

“I’ve had two students come up to me and say that the admis-sions blog itself was the reason they chose to come to Penn,” Clark said. “For me that was very impactful because I guess it gave purpose to the kind of work we are doing here.” While technology does provide many benefi ts to students and admissions offi cers during the college admissions process, students should still be cautious, according to director of the college counseling practice Ivy Coach, Brian Taylor.

“There are dangers. I always check students’ Facebook pro-files,” Taylor said. “When they have scandalous photos, you don’t want to show that.”

A 2015 Kaplan Test Prep survey showed that 40 percent of college admissions officers sometimes look at prospective stu-dents’ social media profiles in an

effort to find out more about their candidates. This number is up 300 percent from 2008. However, students do not need to be too alarmed as the report said that 89 percent of officers only look at the profiles “rarely” and often will only do so if

“triggered” by something.A trigger can be negative or

positive. Taylor points out that social media can help candidates show off their qualifications and experience to further add to their application.

“Let’s say a student is selling soaps,” Taylor said. “Now [admis-sions officers] can see what soaps they’re selling; they can see how they’re presenting them to pro-spective clients; they can see if this person has real potential as an entrepreneur. So you get to show more so than tell which is always good if you’re able to do it effec-tively.”

On the other hand, a negative trigger could be an alert or tip of something on a social media that could hurt a candidate’s chances.

“If they’re alerted of something they will certainly check,” Taylor said. “They have an obligation to do so.”

Penn Futures Project to serve West Philadelphia

For the first time ever, three schools at Penn are coming to-gether to serve children and families in West Philadelphia.

The new initiative, called the Penn Futures Project, actu-ally consists of three specific initiatives, combining the efforts of the School of Nursing, the Graduate School of Education and the School of Social Policy & Practice. While one develops an alliance with Kensington Sci-ences Academy, a health science public school located in an im-poverished area of Philadelphia, another focuses on better serving LGBTQ youth, specifically trans-gender youth of color, and the final project works with data-based

decision making to help Philadel-phia’s local government address issues of poverty.

Penn President Amy Gutmann, who was involved with the initial brainstorming for the project, said Penn’s position as an “anchor in-stitution in Philadelphia” makes these kinds of projects important.

“We believe in using our knowl-edge to make a difference in the world,” she said. “The Penn Fu-tures Project is doing just that.”

Dean of the Graduate School of Education Pam Grossman is one of the deans who spearheaded the project, along with Dean of the School of Social Policy & Prac-tice John Jackson and Dean of the Nursing School Antonia Villar-ruel.

“When you think about the needs for children and educa-tion, these are critical schools for having a broader impact on out-comes,” Grossman said.

She said when she initially came to Penn the three deans got together and realized they shared a commitment to urban youth, and the Penn Futures Project devel-oped from there.

“I think part of what we’re trying to do through Penn Futures is to develop a collaboration, and really try to work with commu-nities,” Grossman said. “It’s not Penn coming in trying to do some-thing to them; we’re trying to work together.”

The Graduate School of Educa-tion was already placing student teachers at Kensington Science Academy even before the Penn Futures Project existed, but the project expanded Penn’s involve-ment.

Bob Nelson, a guidance coun-selor at Kensington, said the partnership works to “address the whole need of our students. Be-cause they come from such a poor

underserved neighborhood, they have a lot of challenges.”

The Graduate School of Educa-tion has placed a doctorate student in clinical psychology at Kens-ington who helps with addiction, behavioral and emotional health counseling. Penn has also con-ducted training sessions for staff, and a number of interns work at the school in a variety of roles, from helping with specific aspects of the health technology curricu-lum to working in a social worker role.

Penn has also worked to de-velop a “grab and go” breakfast for students at Kensington.

Nelson said “a typical break-fast for our students, if they ate at all” could be a can of soda and a doughnut. With Penn’s help in launching a breakfast at school, Nelson said the students now have access to “attractive, nutritious, tasty food sitting there and they

grab and go on their way to class.”He said he thinks the changes

will be longstanding.“They want to be sure that

whatever time they spend here isn’t a bandaid — it corrects, it

improves, it raises the standard,” Nelson said. “This is a permanent change for our school. We’re now working on drawing up specific strategies so we can really embed all these changes in the long term.”

THIS ISSUE

lETTErS

As I waited for my bus to Maine, I readied myself to spend three weeks off the grid by mindlessly scrolling through my Instagram feed. While my eyes floated over selfies and vague acquaintances enjoy-ing themselves on beaches, I remembered an observa-tion made by rock musician and “Portlandia” star Carrie Brownstein. “We’re not quite sure if there is a point in doing anything anymore if it can’t be documented, if no one is there to observe it.” I began calculat-ing the thousands of tiny mo-ments I spend refreshing feeds and checking likes and started to seriously wonder if any of this made me feel good.

I hope not to offer yet an-other tired think piece on how social media corrupts our generation and takes the place of real and deep social interaction. Nor do I wish to write another catastrophizing account about millennials and our solipsistic tendencies. I am more interested in probing how our daily social media perfor-mance might stand in the way of genuine self-acceptance.

We live in a time when our most precious and most mun-dane moments become cap-tured in posts for our critics and flatterers to either reject or em-brace. Social media as a forum for self-empowerment actually gives an exceptional amount of power away to others who judge our lives and actions.

In a recent The New York Times opinion piece, Arthur Brooks distinguishes between self-love based on the opinions of others and self-love based on self-understanding. He writes that we find healthy self-love in “the enjoyment of a beautiful hike alone (not shared on Face-book) or a prayer of thanks over [one’s] sleeping child (absent a #blessed tweet).” Instead, how good we should feel often comes in the form of the measured approval of likes, hearts and reposts.

Beyond our search for the public validation of our quiet moments, our creation of pub-lic personas to embody our identities also holds conse-quences for how we come to know ourselves and relate to one another.

Social media makes almost anything personal feel politi-cal. We embellish our selfies and posts about a mundane ac-tivity, like going to the gym or cooking an organic meal, with political meaning — a workout

followed by a kale smoothie becomes a subversive act that disrupts the status quo when I add a #fitfeminist.

Social media also makes the political feel acutely personal. Our online bios and posts are an odd mix of “I’m from Oregon. My favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate peanut butter. I’m a radical feminist. I believe Israel is an apartheid state. And my

favorite movie is ‘Pulp Fiction’ … duh.” Elective ideological leanings become just as known and certain as one’s favorite flavor of ice cream, a declara-tion not subject to a process of give-and-take dialogue. In the

digital sphere, to challenge a political belief means to chal-lenge one’s persona rather than one’s ideas. Even a well-inten-tioned question about some-one’s political Facebook status feels like a personal threat to their online brand.

Our identities also become our leverage. “I’m from Ore-gon” and “I’m an anti-Zionist” become equally embedded in

the brand and no longer war-rant political discussion. The playing field of public dis-course only shrinks when an online identity becomes both the object we leverage and the object at stake.

The promotion and defense of our robust virtual personas emerges as the more pressing matter over the pursuit of great-er self-knowledge and maybe even, gasp, self-questioning. I think we find who we deeply are in the thoughts that keep us up late at night, the sheer terror and joy of falling in love, the grief that comes with loss and the resilience that follows.

I do not yet know the long-term sociological, psychologi-cal and physical effects of our social media practices. But, here is something I do know: I know that our attachment to so-cial media and what it “gives” us has powerful consequences.

And, here is something I feel. I feel a sunny day more sweetly when biking around with friends than captured in a staged picture in my new sun-dress #springtime. I feel the pat on my back more strongly after

finishing a tough day of essay-writing at the library than any number of Instagram likes on a picture of stacks of reading. Perhaps I’m being preachy, but I’m no better or worse than your most sardonic or self-righteous post. At least we’re in this together.

Given the rapid pace of cli-mate change, bringing an end to global warming may seem like an impossible task. But in the debate over climate change at Penn, students face another seemingly insurmountable hurdle; that is, convincing the trustees who control Penn’s endowment to divest from fos-sil fuels. In order for divest-ment to occur, the proposal put forward by Penn Fossil Free must satisfy stringent guidelines and pass through four different committees.

Currently the proposal is being vetted by an ad hoc ad-visory committee composed of Penn students, staff, alumni and faculty. Each committee must decide whether the pro-posal fulfills the guidelines set forward by the Board of Trustees in 2013, which in-cludes providing evidence that the companies in question are linked to a “moral evil” and that divesting from said companies won’t interfere with the Trustees’ “fiduciary status.” That is to say, check-ing whether divesting will not hurt the Board’s bottom line.

What’s interesting, though,

is that much of the language in the guidelines seems im-plicitly directed at limiting the ability of Penn students to advocate for divestment. Even if a divestment proposal won’t hurt Penn’s endowment — which Fossil Free Penn’s proposal likely won’t — it still has to surmount alternative options and the companies in question must qualify as “morally evil.”

The phrase “moral evil” may seem vague, but that’s because it’s supposed to be. Ultimately, the trustees have the right to interpret their own “guidelines and the University interest as broadly or narrowly as they see fit.” This proved to be the difference-maker in 2014 when the trustees decid-ed not to divest from Big To-bacco because the operations of tobacco companies did not qualify as “morally evil.”

The guidelines also state that divestments should not be made in the hope of mak-ing any kind of political state-ment. This is of course a pri-mary goal of the Fossil Free movement — creating a stig-ma around the use and support

of fossil fuels. Ultimately this guideline in particular seems designed to hinder any di-vestment proposal, which is interesting given that it was adopted in December 2013, a while after Penn alumna Sara Allen gave a speech in Febru-ary 2013 advocating for fossil

fuel divestment.The idea that divestments

should be apolitical is not only limiting but also inherently naive. How can we expect an endowment that invests in multi-billion dollar compa-nies — which then spend vast amounts on lobbying — to ever be apolitical? Penn does not exist in a vacuum and the trustees on Penn’s Board don’t either.

Executive Vice President of Comcast and Chair of Penn’s Board of Trustees David L. Cohen has personally selected the members of the ad hoc advisory committee who are currently vetting Fossil Free’s divestment proposal. Cohen is also a good friend of former

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Ren-dell (Cohen served as his chief of staff), who has recently been promoting a plan to turn Philadelphia into a fossil fuel energy hub. All of this to say that although the primary fo-cus of the trustees is to make money with the endowment, the political ramifications of divesting and investing should not be overlooked.

As Cohen said in his “State-

ment Regarding the Trustee’s Position on Tobacco Divest-ment,” the goal of the invest-ments is to “maximize the resources of the University in support of its primary mission of teaching, research and clini-cal care.” But if Penn spends its time teaching about the disastrous effects of climate change, researching ways to stop it, and treating people in this country and abroad who have been harmed by its re-sults, doesn’t it seem counter-productive to be investing in the companies that are causing the problem?

And if the job of the Board is to provide the necessary re-sources for Penn to enact its mission, shouldn’t the board also advocate for that mission through its investments?

The way the system is cur-rently set up, Penn students, faculty and staff have little say in how the Board of Trustees decides to invest the endow-ment. Even if the students, staff and faculty on the ad hoc committee recommend that the Board divest, that recom-mendation still has to be con-sidered by a Trustee Subcom-

mittee on Divestment who will then make a recommen-dation to the Executive Com-mittee of Trustees and each of these committees must follow the same arduous guidelines.

Currently, the voices of Penn’s students, staff and fac-ulty are being drowned out by those on the Board. But if the Trustees continue to deny di-vestment proposals, I suspect the voices of students will only grow louder.

Open Late, Deliver Late: Sun-Thur 10am-2am • Fri & Sat 10am-4am 4438 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia PA • 215-662-1400 • 401 N. 21st Street Philadelphia PA • 215-557-0940

A trip to the Wild West for Penn men’s and women’s tennis proved to be just that — wild.

With five teams on the docket — four of which were ITA-ranked — the men’s side ventured to Colorado and Cali-fornia to play out a very busy spring break schedule. Their time in the sun, however, resulted in few bright spots as the Red and Blue fell to all of their ranked opponents. Utah, San Diego and San Diego State all beat Penn with 5-2 scores, while Denver took all the singles matches against the Quakers to win, 6-1.

A 6-1 win against Air Force broke up the monotony of con-secutive losses, coming perfectly in the middle of the five-match trip. But the lone win was not the level of success the team had been looking for, especially given the high hopes at the beginning of the season.

Although the field of competi-tion was stiff — most notably in the form of the No. 29 Toreros — Penn’s biggest enemy came in the form of injuries.

“Obviously I was really disap-pointed,” coach David Geatz said. “It wasn’t how hard we competed that disappointed, but I think we took a step backwards a little bit because we just got people hurt.”

Atop the injured list sits freshman Kyle Mautner, who ac-cording to Geatz is nursing a foot injury that forced him to retire after going down 5-1 against the Aztecs last Friday.

Geatz places a lot of empha-sis on the health of his players, namely Mautner, who has played at the top of the ladder for the Red and Blue all season. Last week, the Greenwich, Conn., native lost all of his matches in straight sets aside from a 6-2, 6-2 win against Air Force.

“Some of our very best play-ers are hurt,“ Geatz said. “If you

look at our scores, Kyle Mautner really can’t play. He’s got some-thing with his foot, and he played anyway.”

Senior Vim De Alwis faced a similar story over the week, losing all but the Air Force match at the number two position for the Quakers.

“For us to be good, our top players have to be healthy,” Geatz said. “If they are, we’re good. So that was discouraging to see Kyle not really be able to play and Vim not really be able to play.”

According to Geatz, the last time Penn fielded a completely healthy roster came over a month ago when it defeated No. 34 Dart-mouth at the ECAC Tournament hosted in University City.

Given that taste of victory, Geatz believes that his squad can accomplish big things when Ivy play begins in April, should it be healthy.

“We have the potential to be one of the best teams Penn has ever had,” he said. “But we got a little injury blocked.”

But even in its current weak-ened state, the Quakers can find some solace in the current form of their doubles play. In three of their four losses, the Red and Blue successfully took the lone doubles point as senior Blaine Willenborg and sophomore Ga-briel Rapoport stepped up for the team.

“Doubles was a bright spot,” Geatz said. “But in order for us to be a competitive team in the Ivy League, we have to have our top players in the lineup be healthy. It’s tough.”

Fittingly, tough is a word that can be used to describe the en-tirety of Penn’s season whether it be in the resolve of the play-ers, the difficulty of the schedule or the severity of the injuries. But with a couple weeks’ hiatus before competitive play resumes, the team will take a break from that tough mentality and rest up, seeking to mend its wounds before facing Yale on April 2.

As Geatz puts it: “The team has to step up and get healthy.”

While the men battled in the

Wild West, the women’s tennis squad went to the Southwest and competed against four different teams in Texas over the course of the week.

Unfortunately, the Quakers (6-6) toiled in the Texas heat as they dropped three of their four matches, two of which were de-cided by a single point. 4-3 losses to North Texas and UT-Arlington left the team annoyingly close to enjoying a successful week.

They ended the trip, however, with a 4-3 win over No. 55 Rice, the highest-ranked team that the Quakers have beaten so far this season. Penn struggled in the be-ginning of the day, with all three doubles teams falling behind early to the Owls. Ultimately, though, the Quakers showed enough resilience to make their stand in the land of the Alamo and come out with a narrow vic-tory on the day.

The visit to Rice marked the women’s squad’s penultimate match before Ancient Eight play begins against Princeton on March 26. The final pre-confer-ence tune-up will take place on Saturday against St. John’s.

Mixed results out WestTENNIS | Injuries plague men; women struggleANDREW ZHENGAssociate Sports Editor

“I thought it might take 65 points tonight to win and we needed to find a way to score,” McLaughlin noted. “And I thought we did a good enough job tonight getting some points in transition and hitting some timely threes.”

Penn maintained its offensive momentum early in the second half, scoring five of the third period’s first seven points to race out to a 37-28 lead. Yet similar to their meeting in January when Princeton rallied from a 10-point deficit with a 13-0 run, the Tigers overcame seven third-quarter turnovers to trim their deficit to just two.

Although the Red and Blue led by six heading into the fourth quar-ter, the contest’s final frame was extremely tight. But clutch shots by Whitlatch and Chambers — who hit an acrobatic, off-balanced heave to beat the shot clock midway through the period — kept Penn in front de-spite the Tigers’ greatest efforts.

After two Ross free throws put the Quakers up, 55-51, a three from senior Annie Tarakchian and a basket by Wheatley gave Princeton its first lead in over 20 minutes. It would also be the Tigers’ last.

With 1:45 remaining, Ross drove hard to the lane, converting a shot down low and the free throw for the

last of her team-high 18 points.“I come into every game thinking

‘I’m going to do whatever we need to do,’ be it assists or rebounds, it changes every game,” the Syracuse native said. “But I knew tonight that I needed to be aggressive, so right when they scored, I had the mindset that I needed to get to the basket.”

Over the next minute, the teams traded turnovers, giving Princeton a shot to tie or take the lead with 43 seconds to play. But after Chambers forced a loose ball, the possession arrow favored the Red and Blue, and the transfer from Monmouth managed to seal the game with four shots from the free throw line.

“If anyone wanted the ball in her hands, it’s Kasey,” McLaughlin said. “She’s lived this, she’s felt that moment and stepped up with a great deal of confidence and made them.”

Chambers and Whitlatch scored

11 points apiece, while sophomore forward Michelle Nwokedi notched 17 points and pulled in five boards. Perhaps most importantly, the Quakers converted 16 of 18 shots from the charity stripe, helping them overcome Princeton’s 57.7 per-cent clip from the field in the second half.

With the win, Penn extended its program record for wins in a season to 24. Now, looking to grab its first ever victory in the Big Dance, the Red and Blue have a chance to add to that total next weekend.

“It’s something they deserve, and as I told them, I couldn’t be any more proud watching them jump around because they cer-tainly earned it,” McLaughlin said. “They’ve got great character, humil-ity and they really respect this sport.

“They deserve a shining moment.”

At the time it was unclear if Penn women’s basketball would qualify for the NCAA Tournament, but last week one team on campus got an early taste of March Madness.

At the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Champion-ships, the Red and Blue wrestlers experienced upsets both in favor and against them, finishing with four semifinalists as Lorenzo Thomas and May Bethea secured automatic bids to the NCAA Tour-nament. Later in the week senior 174-pounder Casey Kent and junior 133-pounder Caleb Richardson found out they had been awarded at large bids by the tournament selec-tion committee.

Overall, the Quakers finished in 10th place, with perennial power-house Cornell winning the team title for the 10th consecutive year.

“We’re never satisfied. ... We started out really well in that first round, beat a lot of guys that beat us during the year, but then we lost some steam from there,” coach Alex Tirapelle said. “We did a lot of good things, but we let some matches get away from us as well.”

Penn’s first competition was arguably its most exciting, with unseeded Jason Schwartz facing seventh-seeded Nolan Hellickson of Harvard in the 125-pound bracket. Trailing 6-3 in the final period, Schwartz responded with a phe-nomenal last-minute comeback to force the match into overtime before finally emerging with a 9-8 victory.

No more than 20 minutes later, 141-pounder Marc Mastropi-etro — who missed the team’s regular season finale due to injury — matched Schwartz with his own comeback, trailing No. 7 seed Nic Gil of Navy, 4-1, in the last period before a last-minute 6-0 spurt gave him a quarterfinal spot.

“That was a great win for [Schwartz] — a credit to his dedica-tion — and I think it kind of set the tone for the rest of the round,” Tira-pelle said. “Richardson gets a pin, then, at 141, Marc beats a kid who was supposed to beat us on paper, so it really set us off on the right foot.”

Overall, the team went 8-1 in the first round, joining Lehigh and Cor-nell as the tournament’s only teams to secure eight quarterfinalists.

The only weight classes in which the Red and Blue didn’t advance were the heavyweights — where Patrik Garren fell to eventual cham-pion Max Wessell of Lehigh — and the 149-pounders, where No. 1 over-all seed C.J. Cobb did not weigh in for the tournament.

Consequently, Cobb — ranked 15th in the nation entering the week-end by InterMat despite not having wrestled since Feb. 13 — will be ineligible to compete in the NCAA Tournament due to his failure to weigh in.

“He just wasn’t able to compete; we were crossing our fingers, but he just wasn’t there yet,” Tirapelle said. “I was most concerned with it affecting the guys, because they’re such a tight-knit group. Even though it’s an individual sport, things like that can have a serious impact on the rest the team, and I give a ton of credit to them for doing the best they could in a tough situation.”

The loss of Cobb both cut short his once promising senior season but cost the team valuable points in a weight he was projected to win.

Nonetheless, the Quakers had to push on without their lone top seed.

In the quarterfinals, a trio of No. 5 seeds for the Quakers all topped their No. 4 counterparts, with Bethea doing so at 157 pounds, Frank Mattiace at 197 and Richard-son securing two takedowns in the final 10 seconds to edge No. 4 David Pearce of Drexel.

Unfortunately, the quarterfinals also saw Penn on the wrong side of an upset, as No. 2 seed Kent — ranked 14th nationally — was pinned by No. 7 seed Rustin Barrick

of Bucknell.Since Kent went on to lose his

consolation matchup, it was possible that two of Penn’s nationally-ranked wrestlers could both miss the NCAA Tournament in a cruel twist of fate. In the end, however, Kent’s at-large selection meant his season isn’t over yet.

The semifinals saw all four Penn wrestlers suffer eerily similar fates — all four faced the No. 1 seeds from their brackets (three of which were from Cornell), and all four were defeated.

The Penn grapplers didn’t go down easily, however, with Bethea and Mattiace each losing by a point to eventual champions Dylan Pa-lacio (Cornell) and Brett Harner (Princeton). Mattiace’s loss was par-ticularly controversial as he briefly took a 3-0 lead before an official review overturned the decision to give Harner a 2-1 lead, leading to his eventual 3-2 victory.

“I don’t think we got hose-jobbed — things happen so fast, so I give a lot of credit to officials because I really feel it’s the hardest sport to officiate,” Tirapelle said. “That being said, if we had been on the winning side of that call, maybe it

changes the result — if nothing else, the video review stopping the mo-mentum of the match is a big thing — but it’s tough to say.”

In addition to these heartbreak-ers, the No. 4-seeded Thomas got another chance to take down long-time rival Gabe Dean of Cornell — the defending national champion at 184 pounds — but again came up short in a tough 5-3 loss.

Dean proceeded to win the championship in a mere 53 seconds, while Thomas responded by top-ping defending national finalist Nate Brown of Lehigh for third place.

“I feel like I wrestled [Dean] pretty tough, but still got some things to work on these next two weeks,” Thomas said. “I had to fight back in order to get a good seed at Nationals — I wrestled Brown twice this year and lost both times in close matches, so I knew I needed to step it up to get the win there.”

Because not every weight class is given the same amount of NCAA Tournament bids, Bethea and Thomas clinched their spots at EIWAs, while Richardson and Kent were left waiting for the selection committee’s decisions.

But even with their tournament

berths set in stone, there’s an un-deniable feeling that Bethea and Thomas could’ve come away with even more.

“I guess [the one-point loss to Palacio] is more of a learning expe-rience to try and improve — I don’t consider it much of a moral victory,” Bethea said. “I was trying to win the tournament when I came in, so it’s just a learning experience for next time.”

Nevertheless, with Penn getting a weekend off before heading to NCAAs, there’s time to regroup and

prepare for one last shot at stars like Palacio and Dean.

“It’s really just about getting healthy and going at it again — it’s not really a big training segment since there are only 10 days from the end of this tournament to the begin-ning of the next one,” Tirapelle said. “It’s just getting healthy, mentally putting yourself in the right spot and making some small adjustments from there.”

After all, all it takes is a ticket to the Dance for something special to happen.

Late rally falls short in season finale at Princeton

Princeton basketball was eliminated from a conference championship after Yale racked up its 13th league win on Saturday.

Penn — with the institution of an Ivy League tournament still at least a year away — was eliminated from any form of postseason play alto-gether.

And still, when the two played, everything was on the line.

Following a women’s Ivy League championship showdown for the ages, the longtime rivals provided another classic in their 224th all-time meeting on the men’s side.

Although the Red and Blue roared back from a 17-point second-half deficit, a pair of last-minute, game-winning opportunities fell short, and Princeton escaped with a 72-71 victory to sweep the Quakers for the second straight year.

“As I said to the team earlier, I was really proud of how they played tonight,” coach Steve Donahue said. “Typically if your team doesn’t win,

it’s because they don’t follow your plan — whether that’s with dis-ciplinary problems, weight room issues, missed assignments — but with this group that’s not the case. All season long they’ve followed the plan, and that just wasn’t good enough most nights.”

Behind a quick six points from leading scorer Darien Nelson-Henry, Penn (11-17, 5-9 Ivy) jumped out to an 8-5 lead, but the Tigers would soon assert themselves by dominating in transition during a 19-2 run.

The Quakers briefly cut the defi-cit to five behind an offensive boost from junior Matt Howard and a strong defensive effort from fresh-man Tyler Hamilton, but seemingly every spurt from Penn would be answered by a three-ball from the Tigers (22-6, 12-2), who shot 9-for-17 from downtown en route to a 53-36 lead with under 11 minutes remaining.

But at that point, with seemingly nothing left to fight for, the Quak-ers put the league on notice for next year.

The rally started with a pair of buckets from freshman Max Roth-schild, catalyzing an 11-5 run to cut the deficit to 11 points.

From that point on, Hamilton began to take over, with assists on two consecutive three-pointers before a steal and emphatic slam dunk trimmed the score to 65-57.

Making his first-ever start, Hamilton set career-highs with 11 points, seven rebounds, three as-sists, three steals, and a remarkable four charges taken, as the freshman class combined to score 30 of Penn’s 46 second-half points in the frantic comeback effort.

“My 13-year-old daughter, Katie, came to our game at Harvard [on Saturday] and said I should prob-ably play Tyler Hamilton more, and clearly she knows the game,” Steve Donahue said. “Over this last week, just watching the spring in his step, and his energy, his confidence and his focus, he’s got a chance to be a really good player.”

The floodgates were opened from there, with Jake Silpe con-tributing four quick points before Rothschild found Jackson Donahue from long range to bring Penn to within two. Hamilton then finished two consecutive highlight-reel reverse layups, making the score 72-70 with under a minute to go.

“We did it with four freshmen, and Princeton to me is as good as

any team in this league,” Steve Do-nahue said. “As we were coming back, as close as it may look on the scoreboard, that last step is huge, and that’s what I explained to the guys. ... When we play teams like Princeton really well, it’s inspiring.”

After Penn came with a clutch defensive stop, Hamilton penetrated again and drew a foul with an op-portunity to tie the game, but missed one of two free throws with 12 sec-onds remaining to keep Princeton up by one.

Princeton sophomore Amir Bell missed the front end of a one-and-one, giving the Red and Blue another chance to win the game.

But on the ensuing possession, Donahue drove inside off of a Dar-nell Foreman feed and attempted to feed the ball to Nelson-Henry before Princeton junior Spencer Weisz de-flected the ball away, allowing the Tigers to avoid a historical collapse and finish the season undefeated at home.

“I thought Jackson had a chance to finish, but he also had a nice drop off – both teams did what they were supposed to do,” Steve Donahue said. “Princeton is a good defensive team, and I didn’t want to go against a set defense. … It was really a

teaching moment.”Despite the heartbreaking result,

the 35-19 game-ending run should provide optimism for a team that will return seven of its top eight scorers from this season — not to mention Fairleigh Dickinson trans-fer Matt McDonald, who averaged 9.0 points per game as a sophomore at FDU in 2014-15.

And even though the standings show Penn in the bottom half of the Ancient Eight for the fourth con-secutive year, the building blocks appear to be in place for the pro-gram to return to contender status soon.

“There are so many things

behind the scenes that I think the team has done an incredible job with. The guys have come to prac-tice and worked incredibly hard, held each other accountable, gotten in the weight room, used tutors, and represented the university by play-ing hard basketball,” Steve Donahue said. “But unfortunately in life, the last step is huge, and in our sport, that’s the scoreboard.

“With what they’ve done over the year, I was as proud of them as I’ve been of any team I’ve ever coached,” he concluded. “And we’re going to be dedicating these six months to doing everything we can to get Penn back to that championship level.”

After a tough loss against a ranked Duke squad, No. 16 Penn women’s lacrosse has turned the page, notching four straight victo-ries in the process.

The Quakers (5-1, 1-0 Ivy) re-turned home from their 12-6 loss to the Blue Devils (5-4) to face Rutgers on March 2, a team they handily beat, 15-8. Going into spring break, the Red and Blue were 2-1 with the schedule just starting to pick up.

Penn took down Brown (4-2, 0-1) in its first Ivy contest of the season on March 5, capturing the win in a defensive-laden match, 8-3. The Quakers followed up that result with a victory over their cross-city rivals, Saint Joseph’s (1-5), 12-6. Even though coach Karin Corbett’s team outscored the two at a clip of 20-9, she pinpointed the team’s greatest challenge.

“In both games we had pretty good first halves where we were able to take that lead,” Corbett said. “Second half, both games, I felt that we didn’t play at the same pace and the same level as we did in those first halves. So I was a little frus-trated after that Saint Joe’s game and felt we weren’t communicating well.”

For the Quakers, it was impera-tive to play a complete game before the schedule reached its hard-est point — with games against undefeated Towson, top-ranked Maryland and then six Ivy League match-ups in the last seven contests.

Fortunately, Saturday’s tilt with Georgetown was that game for the Red and Blue. Penn held con-trol from start to finish to notch a 15-8 win over the Hoyas (1-5). The Quakers proved to Corbett that they are ready to compete in 2016.

“Today I thought we finally put it together. We were finishing on both ends and really going after the game. I was really pleased to see that,” Corbett said. “We need to get better each game. I felt that we really ended spring break as a better team than at the start of the season.”

On defense, Penn has quickly shown that losing three four-year starters will not be the end-all,

be-all on the season. With just one returning starter from the previous four years in junior defender Megan Kelly, maintaining a nationally re-vered reputation was destined to be a tall order. Credit new starters like senior Liz Gully, sophomore Katie Cromie, and freshman Katy Junior in this smooth transition.

“I think that a strength of ours is defense,” Corbett said. “It takes a little bit for them to understand it but we really harp on positioning and how to play defense with communi-cation and how we play as a unit and I think they’re starting to click with that which is great.

On offense, the team is heating up. After scoring 18 goals in their first two games, the Quakers have since erupted, picking up 50 goals in the four games since then.

The team can thank a lot of its usual suspects for the offensive fireworks: senior attacks Iris Wil-liamson and Nina Corcoran and midfielders Catherine Dickinson and Lely DeSimone have each had hot sticks thus far. However, this season has also seen the rise of two juniors: midfielder Emily Rogers-Healion and attack Sarah Barcia.

DeSimone says that Barcia and Rogers-Healion’s rise to promi-nence was not unexpected, rather it was an intended part of their new game plan.

“The best attacks in the country have everyone in the attack scor-ing,” she noted.

For Penn to move closer to

being a nationally competitive of-fense, they will continue to rely on Corcoran to dish out smart passes that lead to points. She currently has 18 assists in six games, which is a faster pace than her 2015 per-formance in which she broke the school’s season assists record with 40 helpers in 19 games.

“Nina is just a great player. She’s a great leader on the attack. She has great game sense and vision on that field,” DeSimone said about her co-captain. “She also gives everyone else the confidence to go to goal and trust them to go to goal and make the right decisions. She’s a great feeder and she’s also a great chal-lenger and she has a lot of intensity that she brings to the game.”

Now, the Quakers are gearing up for another battle against a ranked opponent: No. 15 Towson, who is in the top-five in goals against per game. The key to victory, to Cor-bett, is confidence.

“Well I think it’s about playing with a lot of confidence and play-ing to our strengths,” Corbett said, adding that the team needs to play “like they want to win, not like they’re afraid to lose.”

DeSimone took the positive result against Georgetown as a great teaching tool for the Quakers’ upcoming contest against the Tigers (6-0). Her key to the game is “focus-ing on building and growing as a team and just keep driving hard and doing what we did [on Saturday] against Georgetown.”

The Quakers are entering the home stretch in the driver’s seat.

The 2015-16 season has been a rather successful one for Penn fencing. Not only did the team win numerous accolades through-out the season, but it also secured seven NCAA bids and set up a pair of potential at-large bids this past weekend.

On Friday, in the most recently re-leased CollegeFencing360 Coaches’ Poll rankings, the men’s squad was ranked No. 1 in the nation for the

first time ever, alongside Columbia. Moving up from No. 3, the Quakers were able to climb atop the rankings due to their recent success at the Ivy League Championships last month. With the exception of No. 10 Stan-ford, the team defeated all the other top ten teams this season and closed out their season with an historic 28 wins.

The women’s squad closed a rela-tively successful season as well with 19 wins and victories over top 10 teams, standing at No. 9.

Coach Andy Ma was also named the Ivy League Coach of the Year. His title came in recognition of the Red and Blue’s success at the Ivy Championships this season.

The women’s squad placed

fourth overall, after a three-way tie for the title between Columbia, Harvard, and Princeton. Junior Ale-jandra Trumble was crowned the 2016 Ivy League Epee Champion after notching a tournament record of 14-3.

The men’s squad won the Ivy title for the 17th time, and the first since 2009. This season marked the 50 year anniversary of Penn’s first Ivy win in fencing in 1966.

Following the Ancient Eight con-ference championship, the Quakers were able to carry that momentum through the Temple and Philadel-phia Invitationals the following weekends in preparation for the NCAAs.

Both teams also found success at

the United States Collegiate Squad Championships as the men’s team won the championship title for the third year in a row, and the wom-en’s squad secured a second-place finish.

Looking to maintain their suc-cess, the Red and Blue went all out this past weekend in Bethlehem, Pa. at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic/South Regionals.

On the women’s team, both freshman Simone Unwalla and sophomore Arabella Uhry secured their first-ever NCAA bids. Un-walla finished in sixth place in foil, while Uhry fought for a fourth-place finish in sabre.

Trumble’s talents and perfor-mance at the tournament and

throughout the season make her an ideal candidate for an at-large bid for the NCAA Championships. Freshman Raphael Van Hoffelen may also qualify for an at-large bid in sabre; however, those bids will not be confirmed until Tuesday.

On the men’s team, freshman prodigies Justin Yoo and Raymond Chen earned their first NCAA bids in epee and foil, respectively. Yoo was also named Epee Regional Champion, and sophomore Zsom-bor Garzo followed closely, placing sixth in the same weapon. Garzo, along with sophomore John Vaiani in foil, secured their second con-secutive NCAA bids. Penn’s final NCAA bid was notched by team captain, senior Shaul Gordon.

With more than half of the team being relatively seasoned, the Quak-ers have no qualms about entering NCAAs with their rookie competi-tors. Since November, the freshman class has met and exceeded team expectations.

Additionally, Uhry’s qualifica-tion in sabre marks the improvement in saber that the team was vying for all season.

With an historic season behind them and numerous titles under their belt, the Quakers are more than determined to break their eighth place curse — having placed eighth at the NCAA Championships for the past two years.

That challenge may prove diffi-cult, but it is now very achievable.

After breaking the Penn and Ivy League records for the mile back in February, senior distance runner Thomas Awad finished in third place at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships on Saturday af-ternoon in Birmingham, Ala.

With a time of 4:06.97, Awad became just the fifth Penn ath-lete to earn All-American status during the indoor season.

While he finished nearly 10 seconds slower than his record-setting 3:57.03 time from the Millrose Games, Awad, in just his first trip to the NCAA

Indoor Championships, was able to lock down a spot in the podium.

Out of the gates, Awad was not in the front of the pack. In fact, he was in dead last after 209 meters.

Over the next 800 meters, the senior would begin to close the gap, moving into eighth place and passing the 1,009-meter mark only 0.3 seconds behind the leader, Jonah Koech of Texas El-Paso.

It was then that he made his move.

With less than half the race to go, Awad turned on the jets. He posted his three best splits over the final 600 meters and passed three runners down the stretch to surge his way to his impres-sive third-place finish.

Awad, who had the second

fastest time of the preliminary round on Friday with a time of 4:07.51, was the only member of the Red and Blue to make the trip down south.

Of course as the spring season begins Awad will have at least two teammates joining him as threats to go All-Amer-ican. Junior javelin thrower Kelsey Hay and senior defend-ing national champion discus thrower Sam Mattis began their seasons just as Awad was com-peting in the final meet of his. The two were both crowned champions in their respective disciplines at the South Florida Invitational on Saturday.

Awad has earned some rest before he gets back to work, but their’s no question he will be hungry to join his teammates for the upcoming spring season.

fall 2014, it wasn’t until this winter that the Ivy League presi-dents made the final decision to approve the tournament.

The winners of the tournament will lock down the Ivy League’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tour-nament; however, the team with the best conference record enter-ing the tournament will still be crowned Ivy League champion. Thus, the new Ivy League tour-nament’s main implication is determining whether teams will get a post-season berth, at the NCAA Tournament or otherwise.

“The sense was the four-team tournament has worked well in men’s and women’s lacrosse,” Ivy League Executive Director Robin Harris said on a conference call on Thursday. “And frankly the strength of our basketball — both on the men’s and women’s sides — is quite good. There was com-fort with the fourth team being a participant in the tournament.”

Although the 2017 tourna-ment will be held at the Palestra, Harris said on the conference call

that the venues for 2018 and 2019 would not be announced until after the inaugural tournament. This leaves open the possibility that the Palestra will become the tournament’s permanent home.

Concerns do still remain about a potential home-court advantage for Penn’s teams, especially if that were the case.

“Home court advantage is significant in basketball, it’s a big deal,” Princeton women’s basketball coach Courtney Bang-hart told the Associated Press, although she voiced support for the tournament overall. “Not to protect your No. 1 team is odd.”

While the 14 conference games played amongst Ancient Eight teams will still be important for determining seeding in the post-season tournament, they will no longer be the deciding factor for which teams get selected to go to the Big Dance.

Instead, the victor of the post-season tournament will earn the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, a format that re-wards teams that are “hot” at the end of the season in addition to teams that win consistently

throughout the conference slate. Discussion of the potential tour-nament increased following the one-game playoff between Har-vard and Yale at the Palestra, a game Harris cited as proof of the potential a tournament offers.

“This creates a landmark event during March Madness for our basketball student-athletes to an-ticipate while they are in school and to cherish throughout their lives after graduation,” Harris said in the press release.

With 2015-16 marking the final year without a tournament, Yale’s men and Penn’s women will stand as the final teams to win the Ivy League’s NCAA Tournament bid through the regu-lar season.

“I am excited to see the Ivy League going to postseason tournaments,” Penn women’s bas-ketball coach Mike McLaughlin said in a statement. “It’s a great opportunity for our student-ath-letes and the teams in our league.

“Of course, our primary goal here at Penn will be to remain among the top teams in the league and make this a yearly part of our schedule.”

DO YOU PAY PER VIEW?Film polled you to fi nd out how you are getting your Sunday afternoon movie fi xes. Here’s what we learned. BY ANTHONY KHAYKIN

Though we all know the Internet is for porn (thanks Avenue Q), the

bedroom is no longer the only area being ceded to digital terri-tory. For every girl with daddy’s AmEx, window browsing on Fifth Avenue has been replaced with online shopping. And FYEs everywhere have virtu-ally been rendered useless (pun intended) with the existence of the multifarious iTunes store.

Things are no different here at Penn, where the Rave gets nearly half the traffi c for the midnight screenings of block-buster hits like Twilight as Hulu does the day after the newest episode of 30 Rock airs. This makes sense. We Penn students are too busy procrastinating on Penn InTouch and design-ing funny lacrosse pinnies for the clubs we’re involved in to leave the comfort of our beds to

watch Hugo in theaters. And we fi t this mold of overworked Ivy League students well, with only about 17% of Penn undergrads watching movies at the Rave ev-ery semester.

But how about the other ste-reotype, the one that says all col-lege students are poor? The free movement of information made possible by the interweb makes

entertainment accessible and inexpensive to anyone with an AirPennNet account. Wouldn’t

you guess then that Penn stu-dents would prefer to get their RomCom fi x online with free streaming websites like SideReel and Ch131 rather than pay for services provided by Netfl ix and Redbox?

While 75% of us watch mov-ies online, nearly 50% pay for it. I hear Horrible Bosses — a new release on iTunes — is hys-

terical, but is it worth the 1.5 salads at Sweetgreen it would have cost if I had seen it in theaters? Ramen noo-dles aren’t that bad, I guess.

The average Penn student (who is anything but average, if you ask Amy Gutmann) watch-

es seven movies, more or less, every semester. Simple arithme-tic proves that it’s $40 cheaper to watch said movies on Netfl ix than at the Rave, and an addi-tional $20 less on iTunes (cost of popcorn and Mike and Ikes not included in these calcula-tions). The low cost of watch-ing seven movies on iTunes for less than 30 bucks is worth the many conveniences that online paid services afford us: not be-ing interrupted by incessant buffering and commercials, the immunity to computer viruses and most importantly, not hav-ing to wait 54 minutes after watching 72 minutes of a movie on Megavideo.

Not to mention, it’s a small price to pay when you look at the big picture — the combined savings of the 47.7% of Penn students who pay for their online services rather than going to the movie theater is somewhere be-tween $196,136 and $295,344, depending on whether they use Netfl ix or iTunes, respectively. Moral of the story is: we won't judge if you just stay in bed.

*A simple random sample of 100 Penn undergrads were surveyed to collect data about their fi lm viewing habits.

Pair of wins and a loss for Quakers over spring break

While most Penn students enjoyed a restful week off from classes to return to their families, Penn men’s lacrosse got down to business. The Red and Blue (4-2) played three games in seven days, winning two, to close out the first part of its schedule before Ivy play begins.

The Quakers first faced off against then-No. 20 Penn State (5-2) on March 5, playing a great game on both sides of the ball and dominating the Nittany Lions on their way to an 11-7 victory. The Quakers were led by sophomore Reilly Hupfeldt with three goals while sophomore Connor Keating and freshman Tyler Dunn both put up two goals. Senior captain Nick Doktor added a goal and two assists for the Red and Blue.

Three days later, the Quakers

were back at it again at Franklin Field, rolling to a 12-6 victory against unranked Lafayette (1-4). Junior Kevin Brown had a breakout performance against the Leopards, scoring his first four goals of the season. Doktor showed why he was named to the Tewaaraton Award watch list — for the award given to the top collegiate lacrosse player — earlier this season by tying a career high with five assists while adding two goals of his own for a seven-point performance.

The Red and Blue would go on to finish their busy spring break with a setback, however, falling, 16-8, against Philly rival Villa-nova. The 13th-ranked Wildcats (4-1) broke the game wide-open after Penn tied things up at 4-all at the half before going on a 6-1 run in the third quarter from which the Quakers could never recover.

The Penn defense was sliced up by brothers Jake and Joey Froccaro of Villanova, who scored seven and three goals

respectively, to make up the ma-jority of the Wildcat offense. The Quakers were led again by Hup-feldt with three goals, followed by two from freshman Alex Roesner.

Not to be overlooked, breakout freshman goalie Reed Junkin has put up crucial performances in net all season long, and the spring break games proved no different. Already a two-time Ivy League Rookie of the Week winner, Junkin posted 44 saves across the three games while allowing just 27 goals for an impressive .620 save percentage — including a 16-save performance against Lafayette where he allowed just 4 goals before coming out for senior Jimmy Sestilio. As of March 11, he is ranked third in the nation with 14.75 saves per game.

“It’s really all mental for Reed,” Doktor said after the game against Penn State, where Junkin put up 15 saves for a .682 save percentage. “Coming in as a freshman, he definitely has more than enough ability and more

than enough talent, so I think his performance is really a credit to the mental ability that he has to stay calm and composed under pressure. He makes a lot of tough saves look easy, so he has a lot of confidence in himself and we’re all really confident in him, and he’s been playing great for us all year.”

“Reed has just kept it simple,” Penn coach Mike Murphy added. “We’ve focused a lot on the little things with him in terms of seeing the ball and attacking the ball, and he’s a pretty big, ath-letic kid. He’s comfortable and he knows that his job isn’t to make every save, so he’s been doing a great job for us so far.”

Penn is going to need Junkin to continue putting up big per-formances if they hope to see success for the rest of the year. The Ivy League is home to some of the nation’s most prolific of-fenses, with Brown leading the nation with 17.75 goals per game and Yale following behind at number 10 with 13 per game,

while Harvard is home to one of the nation’s most dangerous play-ers in Devin Dwyer.

Although the Penn offense has done an effective job of spreading the wealth among many different weapons this season, the team has yet to put up more than 12 goals in any of its 5 contests so far this

season. So in a conference with so much firepower, Junkin will have to continue putting up incredible performances if the Red and Blue hope to maintain their NCAA tournament aspirations.

The team will begin its confer-ence campaign next Saturday at Princeton at 1 p.m.

Sophomore Reilly Hupfeldt helped Penn men’s lacrosse start off spring break with a win, scoring three goals in the 11-7 decision over Penn State.

percentfrom three if Penn was going to win. Once it became clear that sophomore guard Beth Brzozowski would be sidelined for the contest, I was even more certain of that fact.

It turned out I was wrong — she ended up 3-for-7.

So how did the Red and Blue pull it off? Dominance inside? Not ex-actly.

Forwards Michelle Nwokedi and Sydney Stipanovich combined to shoot just 9-for-31 and grab a mere eight rebounds. Yet Penn still held a 62-60 advantage when the buzzer sounded.

Depth has been an overwhelming concern for McLaughlin’s squad all year. The loss of Brzozowski, the team’s best player off the bench, coupled with the inability of any starter to seize control of the game, should have doomed them.

But it didn’t.Freshman Ashley Russell has

grown leaps and bounds in mere weeks. After missing preseason and the first part of the season from an ACL tear she suffered playing lacrosse her senior year of high school, Russell has ably come into games to give Whitlatch or sopho-more guard Anna Ross needed rest.

Although early on in the year, Stipanovich and Nwokedi found themselves on the court for nearly 40 minutes a game, junior Jackie Falconer has played her way into the rotation, providing the valuable chance for McLaughlin to let his star forwards rest mid-game.

It’s the breath of fresh air of-fered by those impact players off the bench that can make or break a team in March.

“Everyone had to step up. ... They believe in each other and that’s really what matters,” McLaughlin said after the game. When you only

have seven players step on the court all night, they need to believe in each other. As fatigue sets in, play-ers can trust their teammates will step up.

Sure, Nwokedi and Stipanovich get a lot of the recognition, but in any given sequence, someone dif-ferent can briefly take charge of the game.

A few weeks ago, before the second go-around against Yale and Brown, Nwokedi said as much her-self.

“We do feed off of each other. If one of us isn’t playing well, there’s always going to be another person playing well,” she noted. “It’s not even just me and Sydney. I think our guards have really been stepping up and contributing in big ways. I know if I’m not playing well, I can always rely on my teammates.”

That showed Tuesday night. Early on, it was Ross who led the charge, logging 10 first-half points

as the Quakers took the early lead. Then, variably, Nwokedi and Sti-panovich took charge before junior guard Kasey Chambers held the game in her hands down the final stretch.

And that’s what makes this team dangerous. They don’t yet know who they will be playing next week or where, but it doesn’t matter. Be-cause they’ll adapt to whatever situation they’re thrown into.

This season, the Quakers have al-ready set program records for both non-conference and overall wins. What’s one more milestone?

Whomever gets slotted to play Penn the first round of the tourna-ment can officially be put on upset alert.

When Penn women’s basket-ball won the Ivy League title in 2014, they swept the conference’s postseason awards. This time around, they almost did it again.

For the second time, Coach Mike McLaughlin has been named the conference’s Coach of the Year, having led the team to its fourth-ever title and a pro-gram-record 24 wins. But he isn’t the only one taking home hard-ware for the Quakers.

For the third straight year, junior forward Sydney Sti-panovich has been named the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year. And that isn’t all, as she has also been named Ivy League Player of the Year for the 2015-16 season.

Adding this to Rookie of the Year honors her freshman year, Stipanovich has now won all three individual Ivy awards — and still has a year to go with the Red and Blue. She is the first player in conference history to

win all three awards in her career.Stipanovich, who was also

named first team All-Ivy, was the driving force behind the Quakers’ second title run in three years. Second on the team in scoring (12.7 points per game), she also led the league with 10 re-bounds per contest and 2.7 blocks — which tied her with teammate Michelle Nwokedi as the confer-ence’s best.

For the Quakers, Stipanovich is the second player in the last three years to win Player of the Year, following Alyssa Baron two years prior.

Nwokedi, the 2014-15 Ivy League Rookie of the Year, joins Stipanovich as Penn’s other rep-resentative as first team All-Ivy. The sophomore forwards added a team-high 14.2 points per game to her 2.7 blocks and her 9.6 rebounds were second in the An-cient Eight only to Stipanovich.

The accolades did not stop there for the Red and Blue, how-ever, as sophomore guard Anna Ross was named honorable men-tion All-Ivy after leading the team with 3.4 assists and finish-ing behind only Stipanovich and Nwokedi in points (9.3) and re-bounds (3.5) on the season.

Penn women’s basketball is going dancing, and they’ve in-vited all of Penn’s campus to join them as they find out who their partner is.

With the Quakers’ 62-60 win over Princeton on Tues-day, the Red and Blue secured the Ivy League’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tourna-ment. Monday night, the team will learn who and where they will be playing as part of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Selection Show airing at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

For Penn, the Selection Show on March 14 will be a party for the whole campus. The event has been made into an open watch party at the Pal-estra, much as it was when the team last won the Ivy title in 2014. Doors will open for the event at 6:15.

The watch party will offer fans a chance to be with the team as they learn their

destination — in addition to free food and the chance to be featured on ESPN as the net-work takes live looks at the teams being announced.

The last time the Quakers brought a group of fans to the Palestra, it was following Tues-day’s win to cut down the nets on their home court. This time, they’re be celebrating the next leg of their journey.

ESPN bracketologist Char-lie Creme currently has Penn projected to go as an 11 seed, facing off against West Vir-ginia. Throughout the course of the season, he has put the Quakers between an 11 and 13 seed — in line with the 12 seed they were just two years ago.

The current matchup with the Mountaineers is projected to take place in Louisville, Ky., a slightly longer trek than the journey to College Park, Md., that the team embarked upon two years ago to take on Texas.

Also of interest for Ivy League fans is the fate of Princeton, which is currently among Creme’s First Four Teams Out, just outside the bubble to make the team as an at-large bid.

Penn women’s basketball clinched its second Ivy title in three years with its

win over Princeton Tuesday night. And the ride isn’t over yet.

After watching this team grow and improve, then stumble against Cornell, I saw a team at Jadwin Gym that isn’t content to let the Ancient Eight crown be the high point of its season.

This is a team ready and able to win the first NCAA Tournament game in program history.

I wasn’t always confident of that fact. The squad that had proved so much in its record-setting run through non-conference play and easy time against Ivy opponents coming into Tuesday still had one thing left to prove: That it could adapt.

Knowing that the Tigers’ size might make it difficult to control the flow of the game, Penn coach Mike McLaughlin brought out a 2-2-1 press seen only fleetingly

earlier in the year.It paid off. The Quakers were

able to keep Princeton off bal-ance — forcing 18 turnovers on the night — and offset their own lack of size. Still, the Red and Blue knew they would have difficulties scoring regardless of what the de-fense was able to do.

In the 51-46 loss to Cornell, sophomore guard Lauren Whit-latch was effectively shut down — and with her, so too was Penn’s perimeter game. The Red and Blue went 2-for-15 as a unit from beyond the arc and paid for it with their sole conference loss of the season.

McLaughlin said leading into that game that he didn’t mind teams paying extra attention to the Bloomington, Ind., native because it freed things up in the post. But the Big Red showed it was pos-sible to take down the Quakers by locking down the three.

And it didn’t seem the Red and Blue would have the luxury of re-lying on the post game against the interior size Princeton brought to bear at Jadwin.

Entering Tuesday, I said that Whitlatch would need to shoot 50
