The Quakers ended their season with the fewest wins ever, but did rack up their first Ivy League win.
If Penn fails to secure a victory, it will be the first time the team has gone winless in the League since 1977-78, when the Red and Blue played just two Ivy games.
Down by one, with no time left on the clock, the women’s basketball team’s fate rested on one final free throw.
Penn (1-24, 0-11 Ivy) exited the weekend with eight straight home losses and 24 losses overall, both of which are program records. The team's worst previous record was 3-23 in 1995-96.
Final home weekend gives struggling Penn squad last chance for home Ivy win
The Quakers fell to Brown 54-42 Friday in Providence, and then followed with a 70-38 loss at Yale on Saturday night — their widest margin of defeat in Ivy play this season.
After a difficult 0-7 start to conference play, Penn women’s basketball knows that the next seven games can’t be any worse than the first.
The Quakers were a much improved club on their first Ivy road trip, yet still fell to Cornell and Columbia on Friday and Saturday by scores of 52-59 and 58-71, respectively.
Coach Mike McLaughlin will look for leadership from his seniors when W. Hoops heads to Cornell and Columbia tonight and Saturday, respectively. Both games will tip off at 7 p.m.
Since rejoining the Quakers, Amy Donovan has been testing her comedy act in the locker room in hopes of perfecting her routine for open mic nights.
