Missed opportunities.
Penn men's soccer coach Rudy Fuller chose to describe the Quakers' performance this season in less than flattering terms.
And, with too many missed opportunities, it appears that an Ivy League title and playoff berth are out of reach.
Coming off a disappointing road loss and facing its most pivotal match of the year, one thing is clear to the Penn women's soccer team: There's no place like home.
The Quakers (11-3-1, 4-1 Ivy) hope to feed off of the Rhodes Field crowd Saturday night with Princeton (8-6-1, 4-1) coming to town.
Even 12 months after last year's double-overtime battle that ended with Princeton ahead by one, Penn captain Joe Anastasio still remembers the defeat like it was yesterday.
"It definitely burns us," the senior linebacker said. "We wanted it a lot emotionally and it's definitely sticking out in our minds going into this weekend.

Even if Penn runs north-south tomorrow against Princeton, the hits will definitely be coming from the east - the Far East.
Senior Doori Song, the first in his South Korean family to be born in the United States, is one of Princeton's best run-stoppers at inside linebacker.
Noticing a pattern with these Yale games? No. 15 Yale (7-0, 4-0) at Brown (3-4, 2-2) Once again, it'll come back to Mike McLeod. There's been no mystery this year - Yale has relied heavily on its junior tailback in its 7-0 start to the season. At 3-4, Brown can't be labeled the Bulldogs' toughest test; that distinction belongs to Harvard, whom they'll meet in two weeks' time.

After losing so many close games despite playing great football, the Penn defense was fed up.
But after a grueling battle with both offenses struggling to find
their rhythm, the Quakers' defense finally took control and delivered a win, shutting out Princeton, 7-0, at Franklin Field on Saturday.

A championship is a championship, right? The Penn field hockey team (8-8, 4-2 Ivy) faces Princeton (12-4, 5-1 Ivy) this Friday for a share of the Ivy League title - a potentially small share.
Penn, Cornell, Harvard and Columbia all enter their final Ivy game with a 4-2 league record.
