College freshman, former basketball player charged in Quad burglary

Students aren’t the only ones who enjoy themselves during Spring Fling. Over the weekend, Penn’s security personnel encountered their fair share of entertaining moments.

One security officer stationed at the Lower Quad gate, who prefer red to remain anonymous, said two students passed out raff le tickets to “gullible freshmen” at the Upper Quad gate, claiming that they were raf f ling of f a Cor vette. The distributors said the Corvette would be parked on the Upper Quad lawn. “After all the chaos of Fling, that was pretty cool and chill,” he said.

BY SARAH SMITH & STEVEN TYDINGS Senior Writer & Senior Sports Editor College freshman Anthony Bagtas, facing charges for allegedly burglarizing the Quad on March 22, has been charged with another seven burglaries that same day and two burglaries earlier this school year — one in September and one in January.

Bagtas was a member of the men’s basketball team, but was released before his March 24 arrest, according to the Athletics Department.

In all of the alleged incidents, Bagtas — who goes by Tony — was charged with burglary of an overnight accommodation with a person present, trespassing, theft and receiving stolen property, according to court documents. He was initially charged

The officers also said that Fling was especially enjoyable when they approached their duties with humor.

The Upper Quad gate security guard, who used a megaphone to control traffic at the crosswalk at 37th and Spruce streets said it was fun to interact with flinging students. “I was just messing with everyone,” he said.

Fling festivities weren’t restricted to the quad — 1920 Commons was bustling with students looking for sustenance this weekend. One Commons employee recalled that one student tried SEE STAFF PAGE 3

The Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement gave out a total of 35 citations to 24 people in and around Penn’s campus between Thursday and Saturday evening, according to BLCE Sergeant Dan Steele, commander of the Philadelphia District Office.

The citations followed a request by the Division of Public Safety for the presence of the BLCE around campus over the weekend. The collaboration between DPS and the BLCE began last year when DPS posed

a similar request, which also brought a large and undisclosed number of BLCE officers to campus.

The BLCE issued 20 citations on Thursday, 11 of which were given for underage possession or consumption of alcohol. Of the 11 people cited, six were also cited for possession of false identification cards. In addition, two adults were arrested for disorderly conduct. The majority of these offenses occurred between 40th and 42nd streets on Chestnut Street.

A 22-year-old Penn student was also arrested on Thursday for public drunkenness on the block of 3900 Spruce St. after he was observed nearly being struck by a car.

None of these citations were made in bars, and most “dealt with observations officers made on the street,” District Office Supervisor Michael Rutkowski said in an emailed statement.

On Friday, six minors were issued citations for underage drinking, five of whom were cited for possessing false identification cards. One person who was at least 21 years old was cited for disorderly conduct.

Professor joins Council on Foreign Relations

BY ALEX GETSOS Staff Writer

JENNIFER RUGER

Jennifer Ruger, a professor of medical ethics and health policy at the Perelman School of Medicine, was elected a member on the Council on Foreig n R elations last month.

The Council on Foreign Relations, founded in 1921, i s a n i nd e p e nd e nt , non partisan organization that provides a forum for those with different areas of expertise to share information.

“It serves three functions: It’s a membership organization, a think tank and a publisher,” CFR Senior Fellow for Global Health Yanzhong Huang said.

Ruger focuses specifically on global health governance.

She became interested in the subject while conducting research on global health policy.

“I’ve been doing theoretical and empirical work in g loba l he a lt h p ol ic y a nd health equity,” she said. “We want to develop normative frameworks to guide global health policy such that it will be more equitable, fair and efficient.”

Ruger explained that the field of global health policy has changed over the few years. “What we’ve seen in global health governance is increasing f rag mentation and pluralism ... [a] proliferation of actors and rapid increase in funding for global health,” she said. “There have been a number of problems that have emerged and are ripe for research as a

result of this changing landscape.”

Ruger has been involved w ith the CF R since 2010, when she participated in a global health gover nance series. The CFR also organizes a number of initiatives and events regarding international affairs, like workshops, panel d iscussions, symposia, roundtables and seminars. Events held by the CFR ty pically include formal presentations to discuss par ticular issues as well as a question and answer period and discussion.

“The CFR brings people together and builds on the expertise around pressing problems in foreign policy and international affairs,” Ruger said. “I always learn an enormous amount when I attend myself because it’s very rich and informative.

“I’m delighted to see that the Council on Foreign Relations has taken up such important issues and provided a very effective forum,” she added.

The CFR includes people from all walks of life, including scholars, business executives, lawyers, nonprofit professionals and government officials, according to Ruger. She also said that the CFR’s strength is having a “pull on key questions and issues — it brings together

people and evidence to address these problems.”

The organization, which has over 4,500 members and term members, has an extensive application process.

The organization solicits applicants who must then get nominations and seconding letters from existing members of the CF R . Cur rent members give input on applicants as well.

“I feel very privileged ... it’s an enormous honor to become a member of the CFR because it has tremendous convening powers around major issues in international relations,” Ruger said.

Colleagues of Ruger expressed their happiness at seeing her elected to the board.

“I’m thrilled for Jen. She’s a fairly recent addition to the department but is a fun and engaged col leag ue,” sa id Jonathan Moreno, a member of the Depar tment of Medical Ethics and Health Policy. “This appointment will be much valued in the department.”

Colleagues also note d R uger ’s ex t en sive qualifications.“She is a leading scholar in global health and her research on health and social justice informs our debate. In the past, they have inv ited her to speak three times at the council, and they find her articulate, smart and friendly,” Huang said. “I believe that she will be an excellent addition to the CFR membership program and certainly look forward to working with her in the future.”

Students upset with details of ARCH stained glass proposal

BY JENNY LU Staff Writer Students are still unsatisfied with the University’s response to a controversial pane of stained glass in the ARCH building.

During an initial meeting between students and administrators to discuss the stained glass, the two parties agreed on placing informative signs around the rising sun symbol to educate the public on its meaning.

However, students were frustrated with the University’s recent proposal for the sign’s text, which generally describes all of the stained glass panes in the ARCH without any specific details on the rising sun.

The stained glass has an image on it that looks similar to the historical Japanese imperial flag, a symbol at which members of the Penn community — particularly those of East Asian descent — have taken offense to due to historical Japanese aggressions against East Asian countries, like Korea and China.

While many students still thought the symbol was offensive and should be permanently removed, they understood it might be historically significant to Penn. University historians believe the stained glass panes were installed when the ARCH building was built in 1928.

College senior Hyun-Soo Lim, who has been involved since the start of the issue, attended the latest meeting and said the proposed text had none of the information she wanted — namely, there was not a single reference to Japanese imperialism or what historical context the image of the rising sun may be.

Lim would have liked to see more direct language in the text instead of just pointing out

Connie Kang/Photo Manager

Penn’s proposals related to a stained glass pane in the ARCH building, which resembles the historical Japanese imperial flag, have drawn ire from students. that the meaning the symbols held in the 1920s may be different today. “[You] need to lay out the historical facts,” Lim said. “I thought [the current text] was very insensitive and it didn’t mean anything.”

Lim and the other students at the meeting pointed out their objections to the draft of the text, but did not feel like the University was working with their concerns.

Specifically, they noted that the people with whom they met said they would bring the students’ concerns to other unspecified administrators before deciding the next steps to take. Lim was frustrated that the people she met would not give her the names of the administrators so that she could contact them directly to speed up the process.

Lim said the sentiment of the administrators at the meeting was “clearly ambivalent.”

Associate Vice Provost for Equity and Access William Gipson, who was also present at the meeting, said in an email that administrators are continuing their work in addressing the concerns the students brought up and “moving things along as quickly as we can.”

“I think it’s important to

understand ... that compromise typically never satisfies anyone,” Gipson added. “We cannot assert that any resolution will satisfy all concerned.”

Gipson added in a following email that the sign “[representing] our best understanding of the purpose of all of the windows when they were installed” would be placed by the ARCH window, on a date to be shortly decided.

The students involved with the issue created a group known as Students for Asian History Awareness to promote awareness and discussion of the issue. Their most recent event, an information panel and discussion forum held on April 3, brought together many diverse opinions on what to do with the stained glass window.

Some members of SAHA still advocate for complete removal of the offensive symbol in the stained glass, but Lim said she was willing to work with the University on the compromise consisting of educational signs. However, Lim said students left the meeting clearly disappointed and as she put it, “a little betrayed.”

Lim says SAHA plans to reach out to other student organizations on campus to get more students involved in the issue.

Multicultural Greeks hold inaugural symposium

BY MELISSA LAWFORD Staff Writer Penn’s first annual Multicultural Greek Council Symposium, held at the ARCH on Saturday, April 12, saw an attendance of 145.

Much of the symposium was about “explaining what it means to be Greek,” Wharton and College junior and MGC president Peixin Mo said . The day made people “feel a lot more empowered,” said Kenneth Jones, program coordinator for the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.

The event was open to all MGC members and advisors, as well as anyone “interested in learning more,” Jones sa id . Attendees i ncluded 25 students from local high schools and representatives from 17 multicultural greek organizations from across Philadelphia. “It was really funny hearing about their

stereotypes of Multicultural Greek organizations [from the high school attendees],” Mo said.

Workshops explored ideas such as the place of the MGC community in Philadelphia, the role of MGC advisors and how chapters with very small membership can organize large scale initiatives. It’s “easy [for MGC members] to kind of stay in their bubbles,” Jones said, explaining that the symposium worked to make members “more engaged and reinvigorated,” about ways to enhance MGC visibility.

A nother key theme was “how to engage the university,” Jones added, outlining the importance of “helping [people] to understand the culture of our organization.”

The day also included a talk by keynote speaker Lawrence Ross , author of “The Divine Nine,” a book about

Bagtas’ next court date May 12 BAGTAS from page 1 the Athletics Department was first informed about Bagtas’ alleged criminal activity. He would not give a specific reason for Bagtas’ release from

the team, citing confidentiality.

Bagtas — who lived in Riepe College House but was removed from the Quad after his initial arrest — did not respond to a request for comment.

Bagtas verbally committed to Penn basketball in October 2012. In an interview with The Daily Pennsylvanian in March 2013, the then-high school senior said that Penn’s coaches told him that he would “run the team next year.”

He played in 20 games for the

Quakers in the 2013-14 season, starting six games. His best performances came during his first two starts, notching nine assists against Villanova and eight versus Wagner. However, Bagtas played in just two of the team’s last seven games.

Bagtas’ next court appearance, a status hearing for the newest charges, is set for May 12. His preliminary hearing for the initial charges was rescheduled from last week to May 29.

Joining the Philadelphian consciousness: the Year of the Veteran GUEST COLUMN BY LAUREN TEDESCHI

I

n this moment , the city of Philadelphia is home to 88,000 veterans. Philadelphia City Council enacted a resolution to declare 2014 as the “Year of the Veteran.” This declaration was proposed to underscore support for the veteran communit y, shed light on the adversities veterans face and understand the initiatives in place to address and support these needs.

Or ig i na l ly proposed by councilpersons David Oh, Ma rk Squilla a nd Ja nnie Black well, the unanimous support among all City Council members propelled the mission for ward. The City of Brotherly Love becomes per son i f ied t h roug h t h is monumental moment for the veterans of Philadelphia, and presents a source of hope for the programs and policies of 2014. A unified response to this resolution paves the way for advocacy and understand-

ing of the emerging needs of veterans.

The Year of the Veteran provides the framework for highlighting the progression of veteran services and enhancing societal awareness for the challenges they face.

In my recent interview with Air Force veteran and Executive Director of the Veterans Multi-Service Center in Philadelphia Tim Meserve, he expressed principal factors to consider. “It is important for society to know when we send soldiers to war there are changes. We should not be afraid of these changes.

Instead, we need to support them and provide vast resources,” he said. As our community zooms in on veteran needs, it is crucial to consider how these needs are changing as veterans from recent conflicts are returning home to their civilian soil. The recent veteran population is also an all-volunteer force. “If

all volunteers are fighting our wars, they need to know they will be supported when they return home,” Meserve said.

‘‘

heard by the ear of an individual with a genuine desire to support them. But there is more to be done.

Veterans are entrepreneurs of their own stories with a rich history of experience to share and be learned.”

As a social work intern at the VMC, I have the honor of working with men and women in the veteran community in need of supportive services.

While working in the housing assistance program, I engage with a primarily homeless veteran population, a community that often falls within the shadows of policy and practice. This community exemplifies the power of shared experience as an unspoken bond between veterans, creating a forum for mutual understanding and hope. Veterans of the VMC community are eager to be

The Year of the Veteran seeks to not only provide the language for underlining veteran accomplishments and obstacles, but to also unify the community through local events. The “One Book, One Philadelphia” program at the Philadelphia Free Library incorporated the Year of the Veteran into its mission to unite the community through literature. In 2014, the program highlights “The Yellow Birds” by Kevin Powers for Philadelphians to engage in a synchronized reading of a novel exploring the raw realities of war. On May 10 the

VMC will host the “Bridge to Opportunity” 5k Run/Walk across the Benjamin Franklin Bridge on behalf of the veteran community. Significantly, the 2014 National Veteran Wheelchair Games will also take place in the heart of Philadelphia, supporting the Year of the Veteran and honoring hundreds of military veterans with physical or neurological disabilities. This event is free of charge and open to the public to bring the community together in support of our nation’s heroes.

The discourse has been established and City Council has embraced the resolution. The question remains: Why should this matter to everyone and not simply to those in the military? The livelihood of this resolution is contingent upon the support of the civilian community. This resolution cannot remain in an abstract place in our consciousness. Support must extend beyond those associated with the military and penetrate the missions of ci-

vilian organizations and the mindset of the community at large.

Veterans are entrepre neurs of their own stories with a rich history of experience to share and be learned.

These men and women are our f r iends, leaders, colleagues, neighbors, fellow enthusiasts and also those in direct need of our support. As we embrace this resolution, we must consider how it applies to our everyday lives. To give life to the words behind this proclamation, we must engage in the conversation about veteran needs and take part in the community mission to support them. Make a proud moment of your 2014 be attending a veteran event. As Meserve significantly stated, “This proclamation is a tool for us to use. It is only a piece of paper until we apply it and make it special.”

ate last month, The Daily Pennsylvanian reported on the “ T FA T r u t h Tour ” — an event organized in opposition to Teach for America. As a current Teach For America corps member and Penn alumna, I was concerned when I read the piece — both by the misinformation and divisiveness the event aims to promote and by the extent to which my own experience as a teacher was left out of the “truth” the panelists put forth.

Like all teachers, corps members face a wide variety of responses when we identify as educators. Some question why we would take our hard-earned college degrees and apply them to a field with so little opportunity for financial gain.

Others fixate on how lucky

we are to have summers off. Others still launch into their own personal views on how to fix the broken public school system in which they tell us we’re mired. (Many of my own relatives are hoping I end this “phase” soon and apply to medical school, for the record.)

In too many of these responses and in the event that took place last month, a common problem emerges.

So often, the conversation feels like it’s about adults more than kids. It’s about problems, not solutions. And it vastly underestimates the possibility and promise in schools like mine — where students prove every day what they ’re capable of achieving.

The panelists were right about this: Teaching is hard.

Over the last two years, I’ve experienced tough conditions and suppor ted my

kids through tougher ones.

I’ve switched schools. It was several weeks into the school year before I found my first teaching position.

But what they leave out is the fact that even in the face of all the hard things about teaching, many of us love doing it.

Ever y experience with Teach for America is different — just as every graduate of an education program will have a different path.

This summer, I’ll transition from corps member to alumna and continue teaching — setting aside the plans for med school I always thought I’d be pursuing. I’ve made this decision not because I feel guilty, not because I feel pressured and not even “because of the kids.” I have carefully made this decision because I feel passionate and invigorated by my work to change the status quo through my classroom practice. After these two years, I am grateful for the opportunity that TFA has provided by connecting me to my current school.

Optimistic about future of females in VC VENTURE from page 1 looking into the community and trying to encourage people to start companies and apply for funding,” Weiner said.

The Dorm Room Fund’s Ph i ladelph ia bra nch has considered investing in companies started at colleges across the East Coast. “Once [the companies] are in the portfolio we help them raise more funds, provide business development opportunities and match founders w ith mentors. It is a lot of fun,” Weiner said.

Weiner became interested in technology at a very young age. “My dad is an Apple nut, and I owned a computer since I was tiny. We have waited in line at five o’clock in the morning for the new iPhone.

I was making websites in high school,” Weiner said. She

once felt pressure from other classmates who were predominantly interested in the banking world, but she chose to continue with her passion in technology. “Technology is pushing forward every industry,” Weiner said, noting that its ubiquity is what inspires her to pursue it as a career.

Although tech — and the venture capital industry — are known for under-representation of women, Weiner has embraced them. “I like being the only girl at the table,” Weiner said confidently.

She is very optimistic about the increasing participation of women in the industr y.

“The need for female founders and venture capitalists is real, but I am happy to be seeing more young women in the field.”

Although Weiner is already in her final semester at Penn, she is still actively connecting the Penn community. She co-founded The Bell Society, a technology and entrepreneurship-focused senior society that aims to connect likeminded people to create great things together in the future.

will also face either citations or warnings depending on the bars’ previous history of violations. Rutkowski declined to provide the names of the institutions under investigation, per Pennsylvania law.

Steele noted that the BLCE’s numbers do not encompass citations or arrests made by Philadelphia or Penn Police officers. DPS — which oversees the Penn Police Department — and the Philadelphia Police Department could not immediately provide information on police activity over the weekend.

Last year’s Spring Fling saw a large number of citations on the Thursday night of Fling — 31 at two off-campus parties.

A person who received a citation has to pay a fine or go to court to challenge it.

A number of students felt that the BLCE presence around campus this year changed their Fling experience. The weekend “didn’t feel like Fling,” Wharton sophomore John Jimenez said.

“Less stuff was going on that was accessible,” he explained.

Some students said that due to a fear of police citation, there were fewer parties held on campus. There was a “massive exodus” downtown that “divided campus,” College junior Manola Gonzalez, former Daily Pennsylvanian crime reporter, said.

Many students still enjoyed themselves, however. Police presence “definitely changed Fling, but people still had fun,” Wharton junior Aditi Shroff said. “I actually had a better

Even with the increased number of officers, members of the Greek community mentioned that they did not experience many problems over the weekend. Sigma Chi, who hosted a registered event, met “no issues at all,” President and Wharton junior Conor Hails said. “I never saw an LCE officer,” added Wharton junior Nathan Fleetwood, president of Kappa Sigma fraternity.

SPRING FLING MAGIC Despite the looming presence of the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement, Penn played hard during a sunnier-than-expected Spring Fling weekend. On Friday night, students packed Franklin Field for the SPEC concert, headlined by David Guetta and opened by Magic Man and Ra Ra Riot. On Friday and Saturday, the Quad again played host to student group performances, games and food vendors. Here’s a look back at the weekend’s festivities. Let the countdown to Fling 2015 start now.

Students, a lumni a nd friends of 2012 Engineering graduate Justin Broglie, who committed suicide on April 7, remembered him at an event on Sunday afternoon on College Green.

The event Dancing in Public with Strangers follows a Thursday memor ial for Broglie at the Christian Association at Penn. A formal memorial for Broglie will be held on May 3 in the Terrace Room of Claudia Cohen Hall, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Dancing in P ublic w ith Strangers was inspired by a video of the same name, made in March 2013 by Broglie and 2012 College graduate Jerry Liu. Broglie had the idea to go to Independence Hall, start dancing and encourage people passing by to join him. Liu, who met Broglie in their freshman year dorm, joined in and videotaped the event.

This lighthearted event celebrated Broglie’s personality and life. Students and adults smiled as they walked by, danced for the video and talked to the participants.

Since there was no music to dance to, two or three attendees found empty bottles and started playing a rhythm on nearby trashcans.

Engineering senior Laura MacKinnon and College freshman Tara R ajagopal met Broglie through their work w ith the Penn Consciousness Club, which focuses on self-awareness and inner spirituality.

Latin American and Latino Studies department celebrates 25 years The department will also welcome a new director in 2015

BY LAURA ANTHONY Staff Writer This year Penn is celebrating the Latin American and Latino Studies program’s silver anniversary.

Founded in 1988, the program aimed to consolidate research and discussions at Penn on Latin American topics, providing students and faculty with a structured forum to study the region.

Twenty-five years later, the program is celebrating its history and opening a new chapter with a new director for the 2015-16 year.

Next year will be the end of LALS Director and professor of sociology Emilio Parrado’s term and political science professor Tulia Falleti will likely take over in the 2015-16 academic year.

“I think there is lots of room to do interesting and important things academically for our students in terms of teaching and research and

also for the community in terms of community service for Latinos,” Falleti said.

Next year, LALS will also collaborate with the Penn Program on Democracy, Citizenship and Constitutionalism, organizing a number of events and symposia around the theme of “Post(neo)liberal Latin America.” to discuss current issues regarding the region.

Over its 25-year history, the program has undergone a number of shifts.

Originally known as the Latin American Cultures program, LALS broadened under the leadership of history professor Ann FarnsworthAlvear, who was the director from 2001 to 2010. “We changed the name because the Latin American Cultures program had always been more about cultural exploration than about geography,

but we wanted to make it really clear that we were also going to include the study of the Latino diaspora in the [United States],” Farnsworth-Alvear said.

L A LS promotes the understanding of the regional context of research in the humanities and social sciences related to Latin America, without which our underst and ing of the re search would be incomplete, Falleti said.

Alvear said that since Penn has students who are members of the Latino community in the United States and those who emigrated from Latin American countries, it is essential that the program ref lects and caters to that diversity. “ For L at i nos, le a r n i ng about Latin America is learning about their own personal experiences. For the U.S.

population as a whole, learning about Latin America is learning about the [United States],” Parrado said.

Farnsworth-Alvear also established a major and a minor within the program. Today, LALS also offers a graduate certificate. The program remains fairly small. There are typically four undergraduate majors and six minors every year, but they focus more on the content of the program rather than on granting degrees, Parrado said.

For College senior Rob Franco, a LALS minor, the program’s size is an advantage.

“It’s small enough that you really get to know the faculty really well,” he said.

Franco was the first winner of the Jose Miguel Oviedo Undergraduate Student Paper Award for the best LALS undergraduate paper, one of

two new awards presented at the anniversary gala on April 4.

2013 College graduate and LALS major Wes Skold said the academic flexibility of the program was also a big draw for him. He was easily able to study abroad, start taking Portuguese and count courses from a variety of departments toward his major.

In future years, Parrado said he hopes that the pro-

gram will become more integrated within the entire University. He also wants to see more courses offered within LALS and the hiring of more faculty specializing in Latino studies.

“The growing diversity of the U.S. population means that that diversity has to be reflected in the curriculum, in the student body, in our staff, and the program values that,” he said.

A wise choice... find out why.

So close, and yet so far for Red and Blue

W. TENNIS | Quakers remain winless in Ivies after tough losses to Dartmouth and Harvard

vs. Dartmouth

BY ELLIS KIM Staff Writer Defeat was written across the faces of Penn’s women’s tennis this weekend.

Despite putting up a tremendous effort in their two-match home stand, the Red and Blue could not register a win, falling to Dartmouth on Friday and No. 46 Harvard on Saturday, both by 4-3 margins.

The Quakers are now 7-9 on the season and 0-5 in the Ivies. “It’s really tough to have three 4-3 losses [in a row],� coach Sanela Kunovac said of her team, which also lost to Yale last weekend, 4-3. “I feel like we really wanted it more than they did. And usually the team that wants it more — it usually goes their way.�

Indeed, both contests were close. The first match was a nailbiter that remained competitive until the final seconds.

Seeking to redeem itself with a win against an underwhelming Dartmouth squad (6-7, 2-1 Ivy), Penn came out strong in doubles play, with wins by both senior Jaime Yapp-Shing and sophomore Sonya Latycheva as well as senior Stephanie Do and freshman Luba Vazhenina to pick up the doubles point.

Sargent single caps Penn’s late comeback SOFTBALL from page 12 order and letting in five runs.

As King put it, “I don’t worry about long innings when you win two games.�

The Red and Blue didn’t let the scoreboard discourage them, though. Freshman right fielder Leah Allen led the rally charge, hitting her eighth home run of the season on the second pitch of the inning. Penn followed Allen’s home run with four hits deep into centerfield to tie the game 7-7.

Cornell regained the lead in the top of the fourth with a home r u n f r om so pho more right fielder Michiko Mc Giv ney . But t he Q ua k-

vs. Harvard Though junior Sol Eskenazi and Latycheva both notched singles wins in straight sets, Dartmouth captured three singles points to knot the score at 3-3, sending the match to a dramatic showdown at the fourth position between YappShing and senior captain Melissa Matsuoka.

Despite a hard-fought rally

by Yapp-Shing, who pushed her opponent to three sets, she ultimately fell, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, giving the Big Green the win.

But it was the next match — Amiya Chopra/Staff Photographer the Saturday matinee against Harvard (10-6, 2-2) — that was Senior Stephanie Do had a big weekend for the Red and Blue, making contributions in doubles and coming up with a strong the real heartbreaker for the three-set victory in a must-win match on Sunday.

The Red and Blue got off to a roaring start in the first inning of the second game, answering Cornell’s two runs with four runs of their own to take the lead. Cornell came back though, chipping away at Penn’s lead and overtaking the Red and Blue.

Just when the Qua kers’ bats were getting sleepy in the bottom of the fifth inning, the freshman duo of A llen and first baseman Alexis Sargent launched consecutive home runs over the right field fence, tying up the score at

After Cornell took back the lead on a home r un in the sixth inning, Penn finished off the Sunday sweep with an RBI double by Datan and a go-ahead single by Sargent.

Li, who scored the winning run in game one, finished off the win to end the second game on the mound.

King was not surprised by her team’s comeback. “We believe we can hit the ball and we believe in ourselves,� she said.

Penn’s next test will come on April 16 as they take on Drexel at home at 6:00 p.m.

The game against Drexel will be Penn’s last opportunity to hone its play before facing South Division foe Princeton on the road.

Corcoran quickly followed with a second goal only three minutes later.

Towards the end of the half, the Quakers pulled away with a pair of goals in the final 30 seconds to go into the break with a five-goal lead that they would never surrender. “We talked about how important it was to the offense to create more opportunities,� Corbett said. “We really did that, generated a ton of shots. Their goalie is strong, but we were just pummeling them.�

The Quakers were dominant on the offensive end thanks to strong performances from senior midfield Lindsey Smith a nd Corcor a n , who e ach notched hat tricks in the win. “Nina is a star, she had a lot of fight, a lot of fire in her.

She was really great on traps, causing turnovers,� Corbett said. “Lindsey had a great game, she played great defense and came through on the attacking side.�

Going into the game, one of the challenges for the Quakers was stopping a strong Dartmouth offense, spearheaded by sophomore Jaclyn Leto .

The Red and Blue found their rhythm on the defensive end early, continually frustrating the Big Green attack and forcing 14 turnovers. “What we’ve talked about is that we can’t leave our oneon-one defenders against them alone and we have to play as a unit,� Corbett said. “All of our eight players really came together and played great together and that’s when we’re at our best.�

Another point of concern for Penn had been the draw, where t he Qua ker s have struggled against tough competition. However, against Dartmouth, Penn split the draws evenly, with each team controlling nine.

The win marked the ninth time in the past 11 meetings that the Red and Blue have defeated the Big Green.

As the season begins to wind its way down, the Quakers find themselves atop the Ivy League standings with four games remaining over the next 10 days.

Penn’s biggest test will come later this week when it faces Princeton, a team that has only one Ivy loss and nearly came away with a win against No. 2 Maryland last week.

Red and Blue take another step forward at George Mason TRACK AND FIELD The Quakers challenged the school record books throughout Saturday

Glenn escapes jams to win in series finale BASEBALL from page 12

BY COLIN HENDERSON Associate Sports Editor Over the weekend, most of Penn’s students were busy flinging. Coincidentally, some of Penn’s top track and field athletes were also busy flinging.

But they were flinging in an entirely different sense. To be more precise, they were flinging discs, hammers, shots and javelins.

Either way, like the rest of Penn’s student body, the Quakers also had plenty of reason to celebrate, as the Red and Blue rewrote the school record books throughout Saturday at the George Mason Invitational.

With Penn Relays only two weeks away and postseason competition looming immediately after that, this weekend’s meet featured relatively low stakes, functioning as yet another tune up for many of Penn’s athletes.

However, this wasn’t reflected in the team results, as the Quakers put up outstanding performances across the board despite the low-key nature of the meet.

In a rare occurrence, the meet was team-scored, and both the men’s and women’s teams held their own against fields of largely unfamiliar competition.

Both teams finished in the top half of the standings, and the men’s team was able to finish third out of 23 total teams competing.

As they have done largely throughout the entire outdoor season — and appropriately,

Senior sprinter Lydia Ali ran a personal best 11.90 in the 100m at George Mason, a mark that has been bested only by teammate Heather Bong in the program’s history. given the timing of Spring Fling — the throwers stole the show for the Red and Blue.

Sophomore Kelsey Hay may have been Penn’s top performer on the day. The Leighton, Pa., native won the meet’s javelin throw and broke a 12-year-old school record with an outstanding toss of 160 feet.

Two of Penn’s top discus throwers — sophomore Sam Mattis and freshman Noah Kennedy-White — traveled to the Texas Invitational on their own to compete against some of the nation’s top throwers. Both stood out, with school-record holder Mattis taking second and Kennedy-White taking tenth overall in the meet.

Back at George Mason, the men’s team also received strong supplementary performances from senior throwers Jake Brenza and Jim Tully to help bolster its score of 77 points.

The Red and Blue may have made the most noise with their throwers, but they also had suc-

subsequently scored on sophomore catcher Austin Bossart’s RBI single.

“Brandon Engelhardt really got us going. First pitch he smokes a triple,” Yurkow said.

“And we barreled up some balls early, and we could just feel the energy in the dugout.

We got up on them, and we could just feel the momentum all day.”

Though the Red and Blue scored in each of the first three innings of Sunday’s early game, Cornell’s Brent Jones matched Cuff in a pitcher’s duel for five-plus innings.

Jones held the Quakers to four

hits, but four Big Red errors didn’t do the junior any favors.

Still, despite Cornell’s sloppiness, the Big Red had a chance to tie the game in the fifth inning.

With runners on first and second, JD Whetsel notched a base hit up the middle. As left fielder Jordan Winawer rounded third and attempted to score, Engelhardt gunned a throw from center to nail the runner at the plate, helping the Quakers preserve their one-run lead.

“To be honest, when that ball first got hit, I didn’t think [Brandon] was going to have a chance,” Yurkow said. “I didn’t think we’d get him, but Brandon came up and made a perfect throw, and that was a huge momentum shift.”

Cuff finished off the complete game two innings later, giving Penn a 4-2 win while picking up his fourth win of the season.

In the series finale, the Red and Blue wasted no time, picking up where they left off earlier in the afternoon. The Quakers rattled Cornell’s Paul Balestrieri early, scoring six runs in the first three innings on their way to a 9-2 victory.

Senior Rick Brebner went 3-for- 4 with an RBI while Mincher and sophomore Matt Greskoff combined for six additional RBI. T houg h ju n ior R on n ie Glenn had runners on first and second base in each of the first four innings, he managed to escape unscathed, delivering six shutout innings while allowing only six hits.

With its first four-game weekend series out of the way, Penn now turns its attention to its final nonconference game of the season against University of the Sciences on Tuesday before heading to Princeton for four games next weekend.

cess on the track despite resting some of their runners.

In his first meet back in action since breaking the school record in the 5000-meter, sophomore long-distance runner Thomas Awad stole the show once again for the men. Awad ran Penn’s fastest 1500m time in 40 years and the third fastest in the nation this year at 3:43 on Saturday.

For the women’s squad, senior sprinter Lydia Ali showed up in a big way, running a personal best 11.90 in the 100, another mark good enough for secondbest in school history. Ali and junior Heather Bong — the current school record holder — will headline a promising 4x100 relay team for the women moving forward.

Overall, the Quakers put together arguably their strongest team performance of the season at George Mason. Next weekend, they will compete in the Larry Ellis Invitational in their last chance to improve before the Penn Relays.

Following Connor Cuff’s six-hitter in Sunday’s first game, junior pitcher Ronnie Glenn threw a six-hitter of his own while striking out six Cornell batters in six innings of work. Glenn picked up his third win of the season and clinched the series for Penn.

man advantage, sophomore attack Nick Doktor found Belinsky, who scored the equalizing goal with only 13 seconds left, sending the game to overtime.

With 2:38 left in overtime, Belinsky created an attacking opportunity and passed to Losco near the goal. Losco then found freshman attack Kevin Brown on the left side. Hit as he released the ball, Brown was able to get off a bouncing shot that found its way into the back of the net, completing a miraculous comeback to give Penn the 8-7 victory.

Not to be forgotten, another senior, goalie Brian Feeney, posted 13 huge saves for Penn.

Penn will play at last-place Dartmouth next weekend to finish up its Ivy League slate before finishing the season with nonconference matchups against Towson and St. John’s.

Quakers take OT thriller on Senior Day

M. LACROSSE | Down 7-5 in the final minutes, Penn scored twice to tie before Kevin Brown won it in overtime

BY DANIEL RICH Staff Writer Penn men’s lacrosse finally found something sweeter than fried Oreos in the Quad.

On what could only be described as a perfect day for lacrosse, the No. 11 Quakers faced off with Ivy-League leader No. 17 Harvard in the final home game for the Red and Blue’s senior class at Franklin Field.

The Quakers battled back from a two-goal deficit in the fourth period to force overtime, where they would ultimately score the winning goal and win, 8-7, in breathtaking fashion.

Saturday’s game was the final home game for senior defensemen Reid Tudor, Maxx Meyer and Alex Blonsky, senior midfields Brian Rotatori, Riley Murphy, Zack Losco, Danny Feeney and Drew Belinsky and senior attack Jeff Sestilio. Over 1,160 people in attendance saw the memorable finish.

Junior attack Chris Hupfeldt gave Penn (6-3, 3-2 Ivy) a 1-0 lead on an unassisted goal, but Harvard sophomore attack Deke Burns quickly evened the score. Losco soon put

vs. Harvard (OT) Penn ahead 2-1, and junior midfield Mike Power added another score — his first of the season — to help the Quakers head into halftime down only 4-3.

Belinsky’s third period goal, off an assist from Hupfeldt, knotted the score at four apiece , but Harvard came back with two more scores from sophomore attack Will Walker and sophomore midfield Sean McDonagh. Penn junior midfield Andrew Staller recorded his first score of the year in the fourth quarter to cut the deficit to one, but another Harvard score made the score 7-5.

Little did the Crimson (7-5, 3-1) know they would not score again in the game.

After playing through two oneminute penalties, each of which forced Penn to play one man down, the Quakers finally broke through late in the fourth quarter with Losco’s second goal of the game.

Still down one with under one minute to go, Penn forced a Crimson turnover, and Harvard was subsequently penalized for defensive offsides. With possession and a one-

With three wins against Cornell this weekend, Penn baseball has plenty to celebrate. Despite dropping the series opener on Saturday afternoon, the Quakers rebounded with 24 runs in their next three games and dominant pitching performances to stiffle the Big Red’s momentum.

BASEBALL | After dropping first Ivy game, pitching trio helps Quakers strike back, take series

BY RILEY STEELE Sports Editor One step backward, three steps forward.

After dropping its first Ivy contest of the 2014 season and splitting two games on Saturday, Penn baseball responded in emphatic fashion on Sunday, capturing another two wins against Lou Gehrig Division-rival Cornell.

Entering this weekend’s fourgame series with the Big Red (15-14, 6-6 Ivy), the Quakers had won 14 of their past 16 contests, including their first eight games in Ivy play.

But facing Cornell’s star sophomore lefty Michael Byrne in the series opener, Penn’s momentum came to a grinding halt as the Big Red rolled to a 9-0 win.

The second-year southpaw limited the Red and Blue (19-12, 111) to five hits and notched eight strikeouts in six innings. Though the

W. LACROSSE | Two goals early and a spurt late in first half give Penn all the breathing room it needs

BY HOLDEN MCGINNIS Associate Sports Editor After a few weeks off from Ivy League play, the No. 9 Penn women’s lacrosse team got back to its conference dominance against Dartmouth this weekend.

In a game that was rarely close, the Quakers took down the Big Green, 10-6. Penn jumped out to a 6-1 halftime lead and had no problem holding off a late Dartmouth rally to claim the win.

at Dartmouth “[Dartmouth’s] back was on the wall,” coach Karin Brower Corbett said. “They had a lot riding on [this game], so it was really important for us to win this game and come out 3-0 in league play.”

Penn (7-3, 3-0 Ivy) came out strong from the beginning, racking up a pair of early goals while containing the Big Green’s (5-6, 2-3) offense.

Sophomore Iris Williamson began the scoring a little over a minute into the game and fellow sophomore Nina

Quakers remained within striking distance for most of the game, junior pitcher Dan Gautieri was tagged for five runs in five and one-third innings.

But the Red and Blue rebounded in the second game on Saturday as rookie pitcher Jake Cousins stifled Cornell’s offense. After giving up a run in the first inning, Cousins settled down, holding the Big Red to five hits in five and two-thirds innings of work.

“Jake has been great for us this season,” coach John Yurkow said.

“At that point [on Saturday], the series really could have gone either way. We had to have that game, and he came out with a great fastball, and he gave us a chance to win it.”

Penn’s bats gave Cousins plenty of support, as junior Jeff McGarry went 3-for-5 with a double and a

run batted in. Sophomore second baseman Mike Vilardo had two hits, while sophomore shortstop Ryan Mincher and junior third baseman Mitch Montaldo each added two RBI to help the Quakers notch the 11-2 win.

“I was really proud of the way we bounced back,” Yurkow said. “In the first game, we were really sloppy, and we came back and responded [in the second game], and we were able to carry that momentum into [Sunday].”

With that momentum in tow, the Quakers wasted no time striking against the Big Red in Sunday’s first matchup. After junior pitcher Connor Cuff retired Cornell’s first three batters, senior outfielder Brandon Engelhardt led off with a triple and

Quakers win three of four against Cornell in up-and-down weekend SOFTBALL | Penn prevailed in two tough contests on Sunday after two lopsided games Saturday

BY LAINE HIGGINS Staff Writer It was a hard fought weekend for Penn softball.

The Quakers emerged victorious in what turned into a battle of attrition, sweeping Cornell by identical 9-8 scores underneath the blazing sun at Penn Park on Sunday.

Penn (12-15, 7-4 Ivy) finished its first of three South Division series 3-1 against Cornell (13-19, 5-5), keeping them in — as coach Leslie King speculates — “good position to win [its] division.”

“[This weekend] doesn’t win us anything. We’ve got eight tough games still ahead with Princeton and Columbia, but that was important,” she said. “We just had a lot of resiliency today and that is huge.”

On Saturday, the Quakers split a pair of lopsided games with Cornell, winning the first, 9-0, and losing the second game by the same score. When the teams returned to Penn Park on Sunday afternoon for

the last half of their four-game series, they were much more evenly matched, fighting through 15 innings of neck-and-neck play.

Penn’s fought hard for its first victory, coming back from a fiverun deficit to win, 9-8.
