NEW YORK, Oct. 13 - When Joe Sandberg received his 22nd and final handoff last Saturday against Columbia, he finished off one of the best performances of his career. It was fourth down and he needed only one yard. He got 13, enough for his fourth score of the game.
NEW YORK -- Considering that the Quakers have scored a total of 101 points in their past two games, one could logically attribute the team's newfound success to its recent offensive explosion. At Columbia, the day undoubtedly belonged to senior tailback Joe Sandberg, who put together arguably the best game of his career.
Yale linebacker Bobby Abare, an All-Ivy first-teamer, is a singular menace on defense.
But coach Jack Siedlecki is the first to admit that a locker room can't be filled with players as impassioned as Abare - and Siedlecki probably wouldn't want one.
"The players sometimes laugh at his intensity, but he rubs off on people, no question," Siedlecki said at a media luncheon this week.

Yale claws its way to 5-0 and No. 15 while Ivies pry wins away from Patriot squads

Mike McLeod just keeps getting better. The junior waited just two weeks to break his own Yale single-game rushing record, putting up 276 in a 23-7 rout of Lehigh that was actually the Bulldogs' second-closest game of the year and the first in which they trailed.

Yale puts Volleyball in tight spot
The Quakers' win over La Salle on Tuesday doesn't ease sting of weekend sweep by Yale
By
The Penn volleyball team won two out of three matches this weekend, but nobody is happy about it.
The Quakers did start off the weekend with a convincing 3-0 victory over Brown, though the Bears (2-15, 0-5 Ivy) sit at the bottom of the Ivy League standings.

Columbia will add M. and W. Squash
Finally, every university in the Ivy League will have squash.
Columbia, fresh off jumpstarting a $100 million athletic-fundraising campaign, announced yesterday that it make its club squash teams varsity ones.
The promotion process will end in fall 2011, when the team will officially begin full varsity competition.
Quarterback Brendan McNally didn't know when he would get to make his Quakers debut.
Now he's only one injury away from becoming the starter.
The 6-foot-2 sophomore spent his freshman year and the first three games of this season behind the two-headed logjam of Robert Irvin and Bryan Walker, who were vying for the No.
Senior Tim Kaijala is used to winning races. But Penn's middle distance standout, who finished first in the 800 meters last season at the Heptagonal Championships, did not even place in his most recent race.
There are no 800-meter races in October. Rather than wait for outdoor track and field to start in the spring, Kaijala has taken his training to a new level as a member of Penn's cross country team this fall.
The game didn't start off right for the women's soccer team. But in the end the Quakers took down a struggling Dartmouth squad to keep their Ancient Eight record perfect at 3-0.
The Big Green (3-8-1, 1-2-0 Ivy) jumped out to an early lead after a Ali Hubbard shot found its way past Penn keeper Sara Rose just three minutes into the contest.

Two for Barisic, none for Penn: Quakers' offense is left speechless in Piscataway
By
PISCATAWAY, N.J., Oct. 17 - One attack, one breakaway, one shot - all can decide a soccer game. But after playing a tight opening 40 minutes last night at Rutgers and eventually losing 2-0, that doesn't make Penn coach Rudy Fuller or the rest of the Quakers feel any better.

Coach happy with 'poised' Walker; Irvin's MRI comes back negative
By
Throughout the Quakers 59-28 thrashing of Columbia, their offense, special teams, and rush defense were nearly flawless. Yet they allowed Columbia quarterback Craig Hormann to pile up a career-high 417 passing yards, and during both halves, the pass coverage appeared to be the weakest part of the Quakers' game.
