Senior Sendoff
In Saturday evening's match, Penn will recognize the eight seniors of the Class of 2020: Kelsey Andrews, Laura Hamilton, Megan Lloyd, Emma Loving, Ann Manella, Kitty Qu, Abby Reed and Emily Sands. The class has amassed a career-long record of 35-19-9 overall and 12-10-5 in Ivy League competition, including the 2018 Ivy championship season, finishing 13-2-1 and 5-1-1 in the Ancient Eight.
Kelsey Andrews
Andrews enters the final game of her career with 13 total points, with nine of them coming in last year's championship season. Two of her four goals came against UMBC, carrying Penn to a 2-0 win.
Laura Hamilton
As a steady outside back, Hamilton has helped anchor down one of the best defenses in the league over her four years. Last season as a junior, she played in all 16 games in a back four that ranked No. 1 in goals-against average, save percentage and shutout percentage in Division I.
Megan Lloyd
Lloyd has been a key cog in the Penn midfield, but also as a holding player disrupting the opponents' attack. Sitting just in front of the Quakers' back four, Lloyd helped sweep up any danger and keep the back four clean that led the country in three defensive categories last year. Additionally, Lloyd scored her one career goal in a massive moment, heading in the game winner at Dartmouth en route to an Ivy League championship.
Emma Loving
Loving, a former honorable mention All-Ivy pick, has 25 career points on 10 goals and five assists. Of her five assists, Loving dished out three of them this year and two other were in game-winning fashion at Cornell and Dartmouth during the Ivy championship season in 2018.
Ann Manella
Manella picked up her first career point during the Ivy League championship season in 2018, dishing out an assist to Abbey Duncan in a win over Delaware State.
Kitty Qu
Qu will go down as the best keeper in program history as a two-time first-team All-Ivy selection while holding the program record for career solo shutouts and single-season records in save percentage and goals-against average. In 2018, she completed the season with the second-best goals against average and fourth-best save percentage in the country.
Abby Reed
Reed has made five starts in her career, including two as a senior and one during the Ivy championship run. Additionally, she netted the game winner last year against Delaware State.
Emily Sands
The Sandstorm has amassed 48 total points heading into her final game, tied for the 10th-most in program history. She's also dished out 14 assists, tied for the eighth-most at Penn. Last year, Sands scored eight goals, including an unthinkable seven game-winning tallies, which ranked tied for third in the country. Sands is a two-time first-team All-Ivy selection and was a United Soccer Coaches second-team All-East Region pick last year.
