Fewer graduate and postdoctoral students will be able to do research OLIVIA SYLVESTER Staff Reporter

Faculty and students involved with environmental research at Penn may soon have to adapt to reduced funding. Agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation and the Department of Agriculture provide federal funding to universities for a range of research. Trump’s proposed budget will cut funding for the EPA by 31 percent, hurting the amount of environmental research that Penn can conduct, Vice Provost for Research Dawn Bonnell said. The EPA has provided $1.2 million for research to the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Design and the Wharton School, while the Department of Energy provides approximately $6 million annually to Penn. The National Science Foundation granted Penn approximately $46 million last year, some of which went toward environmental and climate change research, Bonnell said. Bonnell added that research in climate change would especially be “targeted for cuts” given that the “proposed budget shows the priorities of the [Trump] administration.” She also noted that less research would be detrimental to graduate students studying topics related to environmental studies. “If the amount of federally funded research goes down, then there would potentially be fewer graduate students or postdoctoral associates supported to do research,” Bonnell said. Bonnell and other administrators are working with the Association of American Universities and other nonpartisan advocacy groups to voice concerns over the impact of these budget choices. Penn is also working with peer institutions to be “making cases [on behalf of research] at the

Penn students rarely bat an eye when they see clusters of their suit-clad peers rushing off to Huntsman Hall, clutching leather-bound folders. On this campus, companies like McKinsey & Company and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are household names. Career Services emails, campus flyers and advertisements in The Daily Pennsylvanian are populated by prestigious banks and consulting firms. It is commonly understood that Penn students, more than their peers at similar institutions, flock to careers in finance and consulting after graduation. Nearly half of 2016 Penn graduates who took full-time jobs worked in those two industries, with 25 percent in finance and 17 percent in consulting. Meanwhile, only a quarter of 2016 Harvard University graduates entered these two industries — 14 percent accepted full-time offers in “financial services,” while another 11 percent went into consulting. Yale University, Princeton University and Cornell University each had a little over a quarter of their 2016 graduates accept full-time offers in the two sectors. While large paychecks — which can often climb into six digits and beyond — are enticing aspects of finance and consulting, they are not all that draw Penn students to join these industries. Often, there is something else at play: prestige. “You have seen the pyramid narrow as you moved along. You went to high school, you did well in high school, you got into a very competitive, selective university, you’ve done well here,” Patricia Rose, director of Career Services said. “Do you want to become a tool and die maker in Illinois? That might be a terrific opportunity, but you probably want to go to an employer that has made it known that they are prestigious and selective.” Top-ranked investment banks and consulting firms are known for accepting large classes of recent college graduates from each year. In 2016, Goldman Sachs hired 29 new employees from Penn, Boston Consulting Group hired 28, JPMorgan Chase hired 26 and Deloitte hired 23. All of these companies ranked among the top 10 employers for Penn students last year. Over time, technology companies have also joined the ranks of firms known for hiring large numbers of Penn students — Google hired 28 of the 2016 graduates last year. While tech has ballooned in prominence, Rose said investment banking has also grown more popular over the last few decades, and consulting is always a popular option as well. The camaraderie fostered by large numbers of SEE PRESTIGE PAGE 7

Penn Residential Services advises all dormitory residents to keep a close eye on their clothes and to utilize the laundry monitoring service.

Laundry in the Quadrangle is free of charge, but that doesn’t mean it won’t cost you something. Various Penn students have reported experiences of stolen laundry. College freshman and Daily Pennsylvanian Copy Associate Nadia Goldman said she had some of her clothes taken in the Class of ‘28 laundry room in Fisher-Hassenfeld College House. Goldman said she left a load of clothes in the dryer but when she returned, she found the dryer open.

“I didn’t really think anything of it,” Goldman said. It was only when she went through her laundry that she found about $250 worth of clothing was gone. “I wanted to bring this dress home for Thanksgiving. I couldn’t find it, and then I realized an expensive jacket was missing and some leggings,” she said. She said she then went to former Fisher House Dean Shauna Patterson, who suggested she file a police report. Goldman said she decided against it because it didn’t seem necessary for her situation.

Philadelphia reviews Penn’s nonprofit tax exemptions Penn currently qualifies for $30.6 million in exemptions CHRIS DOYLE Staff Reporter

Penn administrators and government officials seem to disagree on whether the University pays its fair share of taxes. Penn qualifies for an estimated $30.6 m illion of non-profit property tax exemptions per year, but now these exemptions are being called into question. In late March, the Philadelphia Office of Property Assessment announced that it is reevaluating the city’s “commercial, industrial, and institutional properties,” for the 2018 tax year . Penn — among other non-profit organizations, including charitable hospitals, sports teams and churches — came under particular scrutiny, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Penn’s Director of Media Relations Ron Ozio said Penn does not expect the OPA’s

reevaluations to alter the nonprofit status of University properties. “We are working with OPA to address routine audits of exemption status at a number of Penn-owned properties,” Ozio said in an email statement. “These audits appear to be a new initiative by OPA. We do not expect any significant changes in the tax status of these properties as a result of the audits.” Ozio wrote in the statement that the University pays over $2.2 million in real estate taxes each year. “The University pays taxes on any property it owns that is leased for commercial use (e.g., Starbucks or CVS stores leasing space in University buildings),” he added. As the city’s largest employer, Penn also generates $136 million from wage taxes that its employees pay, according to the Penn Almanac. The Almanac also reported that Penn invests $1 million and $800,000 in the Netter Center for Community Partnership and Penn Alexander

School . This new tax assessment by the OPA is not the first time that Penn’s tax contributions have been called in question. In 2013, the City Council passed a resolution asking that “mega-nonprofits” receiving tax exemptions, such as Penn, join the city’s Payment in Lieu of Taxes program. Under PILOT, nonprofit organizations would volunteer a sum of their earnings to the City of Philadelphia. Penn did not respond to this resolution. Philadelphia Mayor and former Penn professor Jim Kenney, as well as Philadelphia Councilwoman Helen Gym, a 1993 College graduate and former Daily Pennsylvanian editor, have said that they think Penn ought to contribute more to the city. During their 2015 campaigns, both public officials said they would urge the University and other large non-profits to participate in PILOT. Penn Law School professor Wendell Pritchett said actions

laundry in the washer and when she returned to flip the load, she found her clothes already in the dryer. She then set her timer and left. Hu said when she returned, she found nearly all of her clothes gone, save for a few socks and towels. “I lost like a lot of my athletic apparel and pretty much had to

restock everything,” Hu said. “It was probably $2000 worth of clothes.” Hu explained that after she had searched the laundry room and asked around her floor for information, she went to the Quad gate front desk. They suggested that she file a police report. Unlike Goldman, Hu chose to do so, but her laundry

As a nonprofit organization, Penn is entitled to certain tax exemptions. In recent years, members of city government have called into question Penn’s tax contributions, amid debate about the PILOT program.

like Kenney’s, Gym’s and the OPA’s are “nothing new.” Pritchett, a former member of the School Reform Commission, said cities always try to solicit

more revenue from large institutions such as Penn. “It is probable that Kenney administration has tried to ramp up efforts [to collect revenue],”

Pritchett said. “But the city always has revenue struggles, and so they’re always looking to get the full amount of revenue they’re supposed to get.”

was never found nor returned to her. “I cried. It was the first tragic thing that happened at school,” Hu said. “Within that hour, two hour frame, I was kind of frantic.” Penn Residential Services said students should keep a close eye on their laundry. “We encourage residents to

utilize the laundry monitoring service, and to collect their laundry in a timely manner. If a resident reports their laundry stolen, we encourage them to file a police report. The reality in most cases is that another student is responsible for the missing laundry, whether maliciously or accidentally,” Director of Residential Services John Eckman

said in an emailed statement. Despite her experience, Hu said she does not think that her stolen laundry situation is reflective of the general Penn population. “After that incident, I have never experienced big problems with dishonesty,” Hu said. “I think it was the wrong place, wrong time.”

The stranded victims of hate speech

Whenever I find myself walking on campus I do my best to have an item that is related to Penn with or on me. One day last year I was walking home from practice, and as I passed a tour a woman who had seen me walk by blurted out, “Are inner city people always allowed on Penn’s campus?” Shocked and confused, I turned around to a number of uncomfortable stares from a crowd of unfamiliar faces. No one defended me. It was just me, and I was stuck in the middle of Locust Walk defending myself. I really wish I could agree with the premise that if we give hateful and hurtful speech on campus a listening ear, opposition to it, rather than support, will grow. However, during my time at Penn I have found quite the opposite to happen. Last weekend, Nazi flyers were posted around campus stating that we, as a university, must “stop the blacks” and “join [the] local Nazis.” And while I commend and respect the student and ad-

ministrative response to this incident, it is time for us to realize that those who avidly defend the right to hate speech are usually never those who are victimized by it, nor given the task of disproving its claims. After having to manage being a student while being threatened with lynching and trying to figure out how to walk to class without passing preachers that think it is a sin to be black, I’d be lying if I said that I’m not a little tired of the environment we have set up that gives hate speech an opportunity to flourish. We’ve all seen how much proponents of hate speech, such as the preachers, thrive from opposition and attention, and because of that we should be investigating ways to make Penn’s environment infertile to those who seek to plant hate on our campus without violence. A system can never work for those it was never designed to protect, and I’ve found that, as Penn students, we ignore the voices of minorities until it’s too late. When conservative

speakers are uninvited from events or bigots are jeered at, such actions are not the antithesis of free speech, but rather free speech in action. And while an open environment of discourse is idealistic, in the real world some ideologies quite frankly do not deserve a pedestal. While each and every

tests from Middlebury College to the University of California at Berkeley, it’s important to draw lines between free speech and speech tolerance. Certainly, leaders that voice unpopular opinions face harsh and mass criticism, but that’s the essence of free speech, not the death of it. But with regards to speech that di-

… while we are arguing that every viewpoint deserves the opportunity to speak for itself, what steps are we taking to make Penn a space that diminishes hate speech rather than welcomes it?” voice on campus is tied to an ideology and a set of personal interests, convincing the hearts, minds and positions of people on campus has always been dependent on those same interests. In a time of student pro-

rectly targets the humanity and rights of minorities that have been vehemently degraded and restricted throughout our history, things are different. When it comes to minorities, free speech has felt like

our biggest safety net and biggest peril, as day in and day out it proves to be an unreachable battleground of ideas rather than a marketplace of sensible thought. In the last year, students have been threatened with lynching, been forced to walk past Nazi propaganda and the rights and humanity of LGBTQ people has been openly questioned in opinion columns. Through it all, we are expected to rise up and defend ourselves without exception through opposition and somehow accept that the viewpoints that openly advocate against our humanity still deserve an odd form of respect. So while we are arguing that every viewpoint deserves the opportunity to speak for itself, what steps are we taking to make Penn a space that diminishes hate speech rather than welcomes it? I am not arguing for a reconstruction of the Bill of Rights or our University’s Guidelines on Open Expression. I am asking that we evaluate whom it truly protects. As we sit back

CALVARY ROGERS and wait months for opposition towards hate speech to gather rather than defend those it so openly attacks, we push the mental state and security of minorities to the brink until things go “too far” and lives are directly threatened. Today and everyday I ask us to evaluate our role in debunking hate speech on campus, and if we truly care about making Penn as unwelcoming to hate speech as it is welcoming to open expression.

“If you’re young and conservative you have no heart. If you’re old and liberal you have no brain.” Much like this quote, when fellow Penn students hear that we are conservative, they often jump to some assumptions. They might assume that we want to cut entitlement programs, or that we “want to go back to the 1950s.” Perhaps ultimately, people assume that we are not compassionate — that we do not have empathy for the most vulnerable in our society. We are people who care deeply about public policy, and plan to dedicate our lives to finding ways to empower the less fortunate. Our compassion is rooted in our ultimate yearning for human flourishing — the ability for each and every person to pursue happiness, to be productive, to thrive in a community and to reach their full potential. And to us, our conservatism and our compassion are not only compatible, they are reciprocal. We understand that many liberals may not feel like conservatives care for the

most vulnerable. It is interesting that, on average, and controlling for income, conservatives are actually more generous in charitably giving their time and money than progressives. However, we fully admit that conservatives do not express enough empathy and benevolence in their rhetoric for struggling Americans. This should be remedied. However, we also believe that progressives too often act as if they exclusively are compassionate, and this is misleading. Neither side has a monopoly on caring for our neighbor. As conservatives, our policies are rooted in the same compassion — the same desire for human flourishing — that we believe motivates many progressives as well. All of us want to lift up the poor; we all want progress towards a society in which every person is afforded equal opportunity to fulfill their God-given potential. Though conservative ideas on how to achieve this diverge from progressive ones, let us not assume ill-will of the other. One high-profile way this divergence appears is in the area of welfare policy. We

acknowledge that in a society as rich and advanced as ours, we have a responsibility to ensure a basic social safety net. However, an increasingly materialistic safety net is not sufficient to protect human dignity and provide a path to prosperity. We as conservatives believe that reform is imperative to alleviating intergenerational poverty and inequality, and desire a

own sake is not an intrinsic good. As President George W. Bush once said, “The true measure of compassion is results.” Our compassion is intertemporal, not just immediate. We beg the question: Will a given person in need be better off in five years because of this program? Will they be more independent? Our goal is not to see people merely

sheltered and fed; this is not fulfillment. No, we wish to see people lead lives of freedom and dignity. A way to reach this is to prevent the unnecessary, counterproductive control of a paternalistic state. In order to achieve these

reforms, conservatives fight for policy goals that would alleviate the root causes, and not merely the effects, of the hardships of many Americans. Many of these policies, such as those put forth in a joint American Enterprise Institute-Brookings Institution working group on poverty studies, have garnered support from both conservative and liberal scholars. They include strengthening families, innovating access to and delivery of education and expanding opportunities for work. We also need to have tough conversations about poverty as not only an economic, but a cultural problem as well. Our care for the poor, and our desire to bring them to lives of prosperity, leads us to champion entrepreneurship and reduce barriers to free enterprise. Some may look at this with skepticism. But let us be clear — we believe in free markets not to benefit Wall Street, to make rich people richer or to propel ourselves to wealth and glory. In our view, it is the path to ensuring the greatest amount of prosperity for the greatest number of people.

TAYLOR BECKER We do not ask you to believe that all conservatives care for the poor as much as they should — I don’t think we could believe that of all progressives, either. We ask that you consider that many conservatives do indeed hold compassion for others, though our way of putting it into action may look different than your own. Neither side has a monopoly on compassion, and when we understand this, we can work together towards our common desire for human flourishing for all.

Many students complain of the long walk from one side of campus to another, but some even go so far as to switch housing to better accommodate their schedules. College freshman Jackie Wexler said that she changed her living plans for next year because of the long trek to David Rittenhouse Laboratory every morning. She had planned on living on 41st and Spruce streets, but in anticipation of the many classes she’ll have to take in DRL as a math major, Wexler changed her plans and will now live in the Radian, located at 39th and Walnut streets. “It was a 20-minute walk to

and from DRL,” Wexler said. “It’d make planning my schedule very difficult, it’d make going home when I have an hour between classes difficult, and the Radian seemed a bit more convenient.” Wexler said while she acknowledges that the Domus apartment complex and New College House are good options for housing close to DRL, she said those options are “very far from my friends, where I might go out at night, or where I might eat dinner.” More than just being far from her friends, Wexler said that the price of living in Domus would be “incredibly high,” and she does not think it would be worth it. Engineering freshman Gabe DeSantis plans on living on 41st and Pine streets next year in a house with eight other Mask

young, elite people working side by side is something that Penn students actively seek in their first jobs, Rose explained. “Students at Penn like to be with folks like themselves, and by that, I mean other students who are part of a curated group,” she said. “They’re really smart, [and] they’ve been selected.” It’s not just Penn students seeking the companies — the companies seek Penn students by coming to campus and establishing their presence in the recruiting process. Having companies on campus appeals to Penn students, Rose said, because they don’t have to reach out to employers themselves and they can often secure offers early in the year. “Students are very busy,” Rose said. “And if you have people available on campus and you’re getting emails saying, ‘Come meet with us,’ you’ll check it out.” Wharton senior Mario Del Cueto, who serves as an advisor to younger Wharton students, acknowledged the prominence of investment banking and

M ichel cited a l ist of issues that can arise from overwork ing, ranging from ca rd iovascula r d isease to depression to relationship problems. Recently, the dangers of these jobs have been illuminated by a string of tragedies. In 2015, Sarvshreshth Gupta, a first-year analyst at Goldman Sachs who was also a 2014 Penn graduate, died by suicide. Two years before that, a 21-year-old investment banking intern at Bank of America Merrill Lynch died after having an epileptic seizure in the shower following 72 straight hours of work without sleep. Though investment banking and consulting dominate Penn students’ perceptions of commonly chosen careers, Wharton advisors said they actively try to make sure the students they advise are aware of other options. Whar ton senior and advisor Anushree Gupta, said her organization, W ha r ton Women, tries to make sure

members are aware of options to work for other industries. “We really tried to broaden the spectrum of industries people were exposed to and make sure they didn’t just hear about banking and consulting,” she said. “We tried to make sure that no one felt pressured, and didn’t feel like the only thing that was talked about were those two industries.”

URM engineering student group holds elections The board mandated a “woman of color” position GIOVANNA PAZ Contributing Reporter

A newly established engineering student board aims to put a spotlight on the work of underrepresented minorities. Engineering seniors Alberto Jimenez and Justin Gonsalves, both mechanical engineering and applied mechanics majors, founded the Underrepresented Student Advisory Board for Engineers to encourage their peers and push for recruitment of underrepresented students and faculty. The duo started speaking to administrators about their ideas following the presidential election, which Gonsalves said “really hit home.” “Everybody was in the same mindset like ‘Alright we need to talk about this,” Jimenez said. “We figured it was the perfect time to lead it off.” The board was officially established last December once bylaws, board positions and a constitution

for the group were created. Their goals are to increase visibility of minorities within engineering and to create an environment where all students, faculty and staff feel comfortable expressing their identity. Jimenez and Gonsalves mentioned that although the group’s goals for the board are manifested in the bylaws, new members will bring fresh objectives and aspirations for the group that could change the direction of the board. Both students have experience running cultural organizations: Jimenez is the former president of Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers and Gonsalves is the former president of the National Society of Black Engineers. Their ideas range from displaying “success stories” of minority engineers on televisions in the engineering buildings to encouraging recruitment of underrepresented students and faculty. The board has mandated that leadership positions be allocated to represent members of certain underrepresented groups — not typical for the average advisory

board. In addition to two open board positions, there are spots for the presidents of minority engineering clubs including SHPE and NSBE, one graduate student position and a woman of color position. “We had a deep conversation with [Engineering Dean Vijay Kumar and Associate Dean Russell Composto],” Jimenez said. “What does it mean to be a minority and what does it mean to be underrepresented in engineering?” “The population for women in engineering is growing,” Jimenez continued. “However, women of color are still casted outside. We wanted to make sure that they have a voice alongside other underrepresented minorities in engineering.” The advisory board plans to host monthly town hall meetings for interested engineering students. These open forums will serve as spaces where undergraduate and graduate students can freely communicate any concerns that arise. “We really want this to be a board that learns about problems through the town halls, through

the student body and presents them to the administration,” Gonsalves said. Both graduating this May, Jimenez and Gonsalves planted the seed for initiatives they hope will grow during the next academic year. Jimenez will continue in Penn Engineering as a master’s student, so he plans on acting as a mentor for the advisory board as they initiate these goals and bring in new students. Engineering senior Natalie Melo said she is “excited” about the initiatives. “I think it’s a great move towards adding and encouraging some more diversity in engineering,” she added. When asked what advice he would give incoming underrepresented engineering students, Jimenez said he “would advise them to boast.” “Show off,” he said. “What do you is cool. You might be the only woman, the only black kid, the only hispanic in class. But what you’re doing is really relevant and you need to show it because other people will admire that.”

national level,” she said. Alain Plante, a professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science, said he has received a number of federal grants, including one currently from the National Science Foundation. While he is concerned “as a citizen and a scientist” about the proposed budget, he is not too concerned about his current research, he said. “We’re already at a point where my chance for getting a grant funded by the NSF is around only 8 percent,” Plante said. “If it goes from eight down to six, am I worried?

On February 7th, Penn menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball lost to Princeton to fall to 0-6 in the Ivy League. We even pronounced them dead. With eight games left, though, they were anything but. The Quakers won five of the next seven games, but they still needed to win their last â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and for Columbia to lose, too. Both of those events seemed unlikely, as Harvard had just won six of its past seven games, while the surging Lions were playing a struggling Yale team. And with 30 seconds to go, things looked just as bleak for Penn. Harvard tied things up, and the Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best facilitator, Darnell Foreman, fouled out of the game. In for him came Jackson Donahue. Donahue hit a three-pointer on Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last possession to win the game 75-72, and the Palestra went into hysterics as the impossible dream came true â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after being nearly mathematically eliminated from making the Ivy League Tournament, Penn had completed one of the most incredible runs in league history to make it to March Madness on its home court. Honorable mention: menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross country breaks 43 year title drought, football upsets Harvard, sprint football clinches title in double overtime vs. Cornell

When Caroline Moore was named a team captain as a sophomore, the decision might have turned some heads outside the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locker room. By the time Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second season was complete, though, all doubts had long been silenced. Competing in the vault, beam and floor events, the sophomore quickly became her teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go-to performer. Perhaps the most impressive individual performance of Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season came in Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second meet against Yale, where the sophomore â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while fighting off strep throat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; won all three events she competed in, culminating in a vibrant 9.875-point effort on floor that ranked No. 4 in school history, to carry the Red and Blue to an insane comeback win over Yale. But while her floor performance was historically impressive, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far from all the versatile gymnast was capable of. With stellar performances later in the season, she stands No. 2 in Penn history on vault and No. 4 on beam, earning ECAC Gymnast of the Week honors twice in the process. When the 2017 season kicked off, few outside the Penn program knew Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. By the time it wrapped up, she was the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest name. And for that, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our Best Female Breakthrough Athlete. Honorable mention: Princess Aghayere (basketball), Paige Meily (field hockey), Sydney Morton (volleyball)

With several 2015 football defensive standouts departing to graduation last spring, there were questions on who would step up and be the guy to help replace all that elite pass rushing talent. Turns out, Louis Vecchio was the answer. After missing nearly his entire sophomore season with an ACL injury, the California native returned to peak form â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and then some. Earning a starting job at defensive end, the 6-foot-5 junior thrived right off the bat, but perhaps his most impressive performance came at the most important time. With Penn one loss shy of Ivy title elimination and hosting undefeated No. 22 Harvard, the star posted the game of his life, with a interception return for a TD, six tackles aand three sacks in the crucial 27-14 win. For the season, Vecchio secured 35 tackles, including team-highs with 10.5 tackles for losses and 5.5 sacks. He and sophomore cornerback Mason Williams were the lone defensive Quakers to earn first team All-Ivy honors, and for his rapid surge to stardom, Vecchio is our Male Breakthrough Athlete of the Year. Honorable mention: Joe Heyob (wrestling), Aidan Kelly (sprint football), Matt McGeagh (baseball), Nick Miller (football)

Stipanovich & Ivy Blocks

From the moment Sydney Stipanovich first stepped on the court

for the Quakers back in 2013, it was clear she was a major threat to go

around, she was the Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; alltime leader, single-season leader and single-game leader in the category, as well as the single-game recordholder for the entire Ivy League. It was only a matter of time before she became the Ivy Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time career blocks leader, and she did that

on February 18 against Yale when she swatted away her 306th shot. Stipanovich ended her career with a total of 315, and is unquestionably the greatest defensive force in the paint that the league has ever seen. Honorable mention: Mark An-

tually every single minute of regulation. The nearly sold-out Palestra roared to life every time a basket was scored by the de-facto hosts, and Penn went into halftime up 2819 after a remarkable first half of defense. That lead held for much of the second half, with the Quakers up by as many as 10 points. But in the end, Princeton, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lead for a single second of regulation, clawed it back to tie it up at 59 apiece in the final seconds to send the game to

overtime. Penn collapsed in the added minutes, allowing the Ivy League champions to march on to a 72-64 win, but it was still the most enthralling game of the Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season by a long shot. It was truly a taste of March Madness at its finest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even if they were on the losing end of it. Honorable mention: womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball vs. Texas A&M, field hockey vs. Harvard, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse vs. Virginia, sprint football vs. Cornell

The best game of the year in all of Penn Athletics may have been a loss, but it was perhaps the most thrilling game in what is Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest rivalry: Penn-Princeton basketball. It was the inaugural Ivy League Tournament, and it was in the Palestra. The atmosphere was set for a good game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but what fans got was one for the ages. The Quakers and the Tigers battled back and forth for the entire game, but it was Penn who led the heavily-favorited Princeton for vir-

Best Coach

Sprint FB over Army

Ray Priore

When defending champion Army visited in late September, Penn sprint football knew that it would have to win to keep its title hopes alive. Even though it was only the Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second game of the season, the CSFL does not have a postseason, so one loss can ruin an entire season. Outside of Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locker room, though, not many were giving the Quakers a chance. After all, Penn had not beaten Army since 2008 and the Black Knights had only lost once since 2011. With all the odds stacked against them, the Red and Blue easily could have folded under the pressure. Instead, they battled. From the very beginning, Penn made it clear that it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be bullied. The Quakers forced a threeand-out on Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening possession and scored a touchdown on their own first drive. Army tried to respond later in the half, but Penn stopped their drive at the 6-yard line and responded with another TD All of a sudden the score was 14-3 and Penn looked well on its way to a mammoth upset. The Black Knights rallied to have a chance to win, but Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense stopped them in their tracks once again with a Quinn Karam interception. With the win, the Quakers showed the rest of the CSFL that they were the team to beat and set the tone for the rest of their undefeated championship season. Honorable mention: menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball over Harvard, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball over UCF, football over Harvard, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse over Virginia

After Penn football leapt from sixth to first place in 2015 in what was one of the greatest single-season turnarounds in school history, how could head coach Ray Priore top that? Maybe it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possible â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but the second-year coach came pretty damn close. Yes, Penn did return an extremely talented team, but when the team dropped its first two games, including a 28-point second half collapse at home against Lehigh, questions certainly came up about the Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to contend once again. But when conference play rolled around, Priore and his squad made one thing clear: this culture change is no fluke. And after a tough 28-0 loss to Princeton put the team on the brink of elimination, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response was one for the record books. Players wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had an excuse to be distracted on the evening of the infamous â&#x20AC;&#x153;Racist GroupMeâ&#x20AC;? scandal, but Priore kept his playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; focus on the game orchestrating a 27-14 upset of then-unbeaten Harvard to vault the Red and Blue back to the top. Was this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success as unexpected as last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s? Candidly no, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of respect for the ability to go back-to-back. And as the first coach to win Ivy titles in each of his first two seasons in north of 40 years, Priore is a fine choice as our Best Coach. Honorable mention: Karin Corbett (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse), Steve Dolan (cross country), Andy Ma (fencing), Mike McLaughlin (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball), Bill Wagner (sprint football)

Frank Mattiace couldn’t have wanted any situation more than this. 12 months earlier, the No. 5 seed then-junior wrestler found himself in the EIWA semifinals at 197 pounds against No. 1 seed and fellow junior Brett Harner of Princeton, and was controversially deducted of two points in a 3-2 loss to the bitter rival and eventual conference champion. So only fate would have it that the two would unite again in the exact same setting — No. 3 seed Mattiace and No. 2 Harner, both as seniors, both going toe-to-toe in the EIWA semis yet again. And with everything at stake on the big stage, Mattiace made sure his revenge would be sweet, winning 4-3 in another thriller to kill off last year’s demons. But amazingly, that wasn’t even the pinnacle of the senior’s run. In the championship match, Mattiace faced off against No. 1 Tom Sleigh of Bucknell and took home the trophy in the most thrilling match of all, needing two tiebreaker periods after initially being knotted up at 4-4. The win brought Mattiace his first conference title in his career and the school’s first in any weight class since Micah Burak in 2013, making him a clear choice for the Best Championship Performance. Honorable mention: Ashley Montgomery (Cross Country NCAA Championships), Caroline Moore (Ivy Classic), Michelle Nwokedi (Ivy League Tournament), Nick Tuck (Ivy League Championships)

It had been 43 years since men’s cross country had won an Ivy League title. But at this year’s Heptagonal Championships, the Quakers obliterated that dry streak, placing all five scorers in the top-12 of the championship race to take the title with ease. At least, it looked easy. But at the three-mile marker of the 8K race, Penn was actually in third, trailing Columbia by 10 points. The Red and Blue surged late on and gained 20 points on their competitors, winning in the end by a gap of 13 points over secondplace Princeton. No other team placed more than three runners in the top-12. Seniors Nick Tuck and Brendan Shearn kept close throughout the race, pushing each other to finish fourth and fifth, respectively, at just under 24 minutes each. Classmate Chris Hatler and junior Christopher Luciano finished in eighth and ninth, just ten seconds behind the Quakers’ top two. With junior Patrick Hally rounding out all of Penn’s five scorers in 12th place, just three seconds behind Luciano it was an unprecedented championship performance from the team, likely to stand out for decades to come in program history. Honorable mention: women’s basketball, men’s fencing, football, sprint football

Coming back from an ACL tear is no easy task for an athlete. Emotionally, physically and mentally, getting through it all is an ordeal. So doing that entire process twice? That’s the stuff of Hollywood stories — and it’s also the path of Penn women’s lacrosse junior midfielder Natalie Stefan. After tearing her ACL in high school, Stefan managed to get decent playing time as a freshman at Penn. But just as she was set to take a larger role in 2016, it happened again: another devastating knee pop, and another season on the sidelines. Doubts to whether Stefan was capable of making it back to the top would’ve been reasonable, but the junior has laid them all to rest. Stefan has seized a starting role and become a consistent threat for the nationally ranked Quakers. With 15 goals and 13 assists, her diverse offensive skillset has been a tremendous help for a Penn squad one win shy of clinching its 10th Ivy title in 11 seasons. For Stefan to be on the field at all is a fantastic feat; for her to be one of the top offensive players on a unanimous top-10 team in the country is something else. And for that, she’s our Best Comeback Athlete. Honorable mention: Melissa Alves (women’s squash), Arthur D’Angelo (sprint football), Caroline Moore (gymnastics), Nicolas Podesta (men’s tennis), Louis Vecchio (football)

Best Play — Sprint Football’s touchdown in double overtime against Cornell

NICK BUCHTA | SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR EMERITUS

Penn sprint football won its its outright CSFL title since 2000, so the season had many exciting moments. But the peak of the season, and the best play of the year, came in the double overtime thriller against Cornell, in which the team clinched at least a share of the title. The game itself was a roller coaster: Penn trailed for the majority of the game, but a 93-yard drive

in the dying seconds of regulation, and the ensuing two-point conversion, allowed the Quakers to tie the game at 20. The first overtime period saw both teams lose the ball on interceptions, and Penn’s second OT try looked to be heading the same way. After driving all the way down to the Cornell’s 3-yard line, quarterback Mike McCurdy threw a pass

towards one of his receivers in the end zone. But instead of finding its intended receiver, the pass was tipped up by a Cornell linebacker, and he angled to get under the ball for the interception. That’s where Penn sophomore lineman Angelo Matos came in to save the day. Standing in the right place at the right time and with a quick reaction, Matos grabbed the

ball out of the air to give Penn a miraculous touchdown. The Quakers would stymie Cornell’s rebuttal attempt and take home the victory and the title, but the touchdown play was the lasting image from the game. Honorable mention: Nick Demes (TD at Cornell), Jackson Donahue (three-pointer to beat Harvard), Alek Torgersen (TD pass to beat Harvard)

Michelle Nwokedi

Justin Watson

ZACH SHELDON | SPORTS PHOTO EDITOR

Ivy Player of the Year. Ivy Tournament MVP. Averaged nearly a double-double over an entire season. Team leader in points, rebounds and blocks. Those are just some of the many achievements from a dominant season from Penn women’s basketball’s Michelle Nwokedi. Her final stat line was 14.6 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game on 41.6 percent shooting, but her impact goes beyond the numbers. All year, Nwokedi was an imposing presence on both sides of the ball. On offense, she was the team’s leading scorer, with the ability to get inside at will while also pulling up for an outside jumper. The threat of Nwokedi scoring from any point on the floor kept opponents on their toes at all time, and opened up shots for her teammates. On defense, she

was a force protecting the rim, leading the Ivy League with 85 blocks. Even more impressively, when the Quakers needed her most, especially during Ivy play, she stepped up her game. The junior forward had a stretch in the heart of Ivy play with six straight double-doubles, and in the two Ivy tournament games she combined for 40 points and 25 rebounds. Without Nwokedi, Penn does not repeat as Ivy champs. Her efforts allowed the Quakers to steamroll through the Ivy League, and for that, she earns Best Female Athlete. Honorable mention: Alex Condon (lacrosse), Alexa Hoover (field hockey), Taylor McCorkle (track and field), Caroline Moore (gymnastics), Reeham Salah (squash), Alexis Sargent (softball)

Rookie of the Year (W)

Maura Kimmel

WILL SNOW | SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

A freshman getting serious playing time on a varsity team is impressive. A freshman being one of her team’s most important players is even more rare. But for a freshman to be unequivocally the best at her position in school history is simply unheard of. Until Maura Kimmel came along. The freshman women’s track and field phenom wasted absolutely no time making her mark on the Red and Blue program, already holding a pair of school records — yes, for all classes — without even having completed her first season yet. During indoor season, Kimmel made an impression right off the bat, breaking the indoor shot put record on several occasions to

put the nation on notice. Her best mark, one of 15.19 meters, stands more than a meter above the next highest throw in the event — indoor or outdoor — in Penn women’s track and field history. And as the team transitioned to outdoor meets, Kimmel hasn’t slowed down a bit. She also has set the school’s discus record on numerous occasions. And though she doesn’t hold the outdoor shot record yet, it seems like a mere formality for her to catch 2014 grad Theresa Picciallo, as only seven inches separate the two. Honorable mention: Erin Barry (lacrosse), Emma Cullen (gymnastics), Jess Davis (squash), Caroline Furrer (volleyball), Alexa Schneck (field hockey)

Penn football’s Alek Torgersen might take the honor of being the first Quaker to be drafted to the NFL in over a decade this weekend, but if he doesn’t, then wide receiver Justin Watson will surely have a chance next year. This season, the junior led the Ivy League in receiving touchdowns with eight, total receiving yards with 1,115 and also topped the yards/game category by an astounding 40 yards. He also registered the third highest total running yards on the team — behind only running back Tre Solomon and Torgersen. With his rushing and catching statistics combined, he led the league in all-purpose yards by over 100. Watson made some memorable plays throughout Penn’s season, always making

Best Team Sprint Football

NICK BUCHTA | SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR EMERITUS

Several teams have legitimate claims to being Penn’s best sports team this year, but in the end, there could only be one. And after a season that saw Penn sprint football run the table for only the second time in school history, this honor had to go to them. After all, can any other Penn team say that when it was all said and done, they were the national champions? And while it is true that only seven teams compete nationally, winning the Collegiate Sprint Football League is no easy feat. Without any playoffs, a single regular season loss can spell the end of a team’s championship hopes — especially if a team does not want to have to share their championship.

The Quakers nearly learned this the hard way — on several occasions. While their season saw the Red and Blue beat some teams handily, there were multiple instances where other opponents looked well on their way to victory. But each time, Penn rallied. Taking one game at a time, the Quakers methodically inched closer and closer to perfection. When the dust finally settled with a blowout win over Post, legendary coach Bill Wagner and league MVP senior quarterback Mike McCurdy finally had one more thing to celebrate. Honorable mention: women’s basketball, men’s cross country, men’s fencing, football, women’s lacrosse

himself a game-changer. The team could not have successfully defended its Ivy League title, for instance, without his game-winning touchdown catch in the last 30 seconds of the Quakers’ thriller against Harvard. Watson was honored for his outstanding season for the Quakers by being voted the runner-up in the race for Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year. And for standing so tall above his team and the Ivy League in one of its most competitive sports, Justin Watson has surely earned Male Athlete of the Year. Honorable mention: Mark Andrew (swimming), Jake Cousins (baseball), Tim Graul (baseball), Frank Mattiace (wrestling), Mike McCurdy (sprint football), Alek Torgersen (football), Justin Yoo (fencing)

Rookie of the Year (M)

AJ Brodeur

ZACH SHELDON | SPORTS PHOTO EDITOR

From the minute AJ Brodeur stepped on campus, those following Penn men’s basketball knew that he had the potential to be special. Standing at an imposing 6-foot-8 and weighing 225 pounds, possessing lateral quickness and surprising speed, Brodeur had all the tools to become a dominant big man someday for Penn. Still, it’s hard to imagine anybody thought he’d be this good, this soon. Starting all 28 games for the Quakers, Brodeur averaged 13.8 points per game and 6.9 rebounds per game to lead the team in both categories. Additionally, he blocked a school-record 66

shots and paced the entire Ivy League in blocks per game with 2.4. The peak of his performance came against La Salle, when Brodeur set a new freshman record with 35 points. His dominance was rewarded with numerous accolades, including four Ivy League Rookie of the Week awards, an Ivy League Player of the Week award, two Big 5 Player of the Week awards, and a second team All-Ivy selection. Not bad for a freshman. Honorable mention: Chris Adams (baseball), Ryan Betley (basketball), Sean Clarke (track and field), Matt Hermann (sprint football) CONTACT US: 215-422-4640
