PREVIEWING PENN
*The Quakers are coming off a tough 3-0 Soccer Six defeat at the hands of La Salle on Wednesday. Penn outshot the Explorers but were unable to capitalize on its chances in the final third.

*Joe Swenson leads Penn with four points on two goals this season, while Ivy League Rookie of the Week Jake Kohlbrenner owns the other goal for the Quakers in a 2-0 win over SIUE.

*A handful of freshmen played their first collegiate minutes against La Salle, as Henry Sherwood Caballero, Giacomo Giordano, Nicky Goldlust and Filip Guhr all entered the pitch for the Quakers.

*Etan Mabourakh and Scott Forbes have split time evenly in the cage this season, with each player owning three starts to their name. Mabourakh was recently named Philadelphia Soccer Six Defender of the Week after notching nine saves against the Cougars on Sunday.

*Swenson, Sam Wancowicz, Jerel Blades, Brandon Bartel and Gavin Barger have started all six games for the Red and Blue this fall.

*Wancowicz leads Penn with nine shots on the year, while Swenson boasts a team-high five shots on goal.

NEWS AND NOTES: DREXEL
*The Dragons enter Saturday's match winless on the year, with four losses and one draw to their name. Penn and Drexel share one common opponent so far this season in Bowling Green, as both squads were shut out against the Falcons. 

*The Quakers lead the all-time series against Drexel 31-10-1 and most recently dominated the Dragons last season at Rhodes Field by a score of 5-0.

*The Dragons have yet to tally a goal this season and are led in goal by Jacob Jordan, who has played all 470 minutes in net.
