PHILADELPHIA - Two regular season games on the road remain for the 12th-ranked University of Pennsylvania women's lacrosse team, as the Quakers look to right the ship after suffering back-to-back losses in the Ivy League for the first time since 2006.

Series History
To put it plainly, the Quakers have simply dominated the Lions in the all-time series between the two teams, as Penn is 22-0 all-time against Columbia. In fact, the last time Penn scored less than 10 goals against the Lions came back in 2005, a 9-3 win for the Red and Blue. Columbia has scored 10 goals or more against Penn only twice in program history. 

Three Quakers on Tewaaraton Watch List
Erin Barry, Zoe Belodeau and Gabby Rosenzweig all saw their names on the first Tewaaraton Watch List of the year, highlighting the nation's best players in college lacrosse. Rosenzweig, one of the final 25 Tewaaraton Award nominees last year, currently leads the team offensively with 26 goals and 41 assists for 67 points, ranking first in the Ivy League. Belodeau ranks second on the team in points on the season with 42, while Barry is third with 27 and ranks second with 25 ground balls.

Standout Stadler
Freshman Taylyn Stadler is the only rookie for the Red and Blue to start all 13 games so far, and she has made her presence known, currently ranking fourth on the team with 23 points, including 18 goals and five assists. Stadler has scored in all but one game for Penn this year, netting a season-high three goals on two occasions: at Rutgers and at #5 Northwestern. 

Lending a Helping Hand
One of Penn's catalysts on offense this season has been through the assist-making prowess of junior Gabby Rosenzweig. The New York native leads the team with 41 assists (the next closest has 11) and ranks fourth nationally, averaging 3.15 assists per game. 

Decker Delivers
Coming off the bench each of the last two games, sophomore Elyse Decker is in the midst of her strongest offensive performances of the season, netting two goals against Dartmouth and delivering a season-high three goals on Wednesday against Princeton. She has nearly matched her season total of six goals entering the game against the Big Green in the last two outings. 

McMahon on the Rise
Freshman Michaela McMahon has played all 13 games for the Quakers this season, scoring in all but two games this year, including a season-high three in Penn's loss to Princeton on Wednesday.

Ball-Magnet Bosco
After collecting 19 ground balls last year, sophomore Abby Bosco has asserted herself on the field for Penn, already picking up 43 this season to lead the squad. Against Dartmouth, Bosco tallied eight ground ball pickups, the most for a Penn player since Emma Spiro against Brown in 2008.

Keepin' It 100
Junior midfielder Erin Barry has eclipsed the 100 mark in both ground balls and draw controls this season, and is on the verge of doing the same in career goals, with 98. She is the third in the Karin Corbett-era to do so, now owning 123 draw controls and 110 ground balls. Against Dartmouth, Gabby Rosenzweig joined the 100-goal club, now owning 101 in her three-plus years with Penn. She has 93 career assists.

Program Record Watch
Senior captain Katy Junior is tied for Penn's modern-era ground ball record of 128, set in 2015 by Meg Markham. Junior also ranks second in the program's modern history in caused turnovers with 95, behind Markham's final tally of 111. 

Ivy League Tournament Watch
A number of scenarios can still unfold in the Ancient Eight, as each team in the league still has two weekends remaining of conference action, but Penn's easiest path to the Ivy League Tournament involve a win Saturday vs. Columbia, matched with a loss by Brown or win by Princeton.  Penn is the only Ivy League team to advance to all conference tournaments since their inception in 2010. 

RPI Watch
Penn is slotted 11th in the latest NCAA RPI, one of three Ivy League squads in the top-20.

A Tradition of Success
Penn has won 11 of the last 12 Ivy League championships, including three conference tournament titles, and have advanced to 12-straight NCAA Tournaments, the fifth-longest active streak in the country.

Aye, Aye Captain(s)!
Senior defenders Katy Junior and Lauren O'Mara have been tabbed as captains for the 2019 campaign of Penn women's lacrosse.

Concerning Columbia
The Lions enter Saturday's contest at 4-9 overall, including a 1-4 mark in the Ivy League. Columbia's lone conference win came two weeks ago, in a one-goal affair at Harvard. Lindsey Ewertsen is Columbia's do everything player, leading the team with 47 points, 36 ground balls, 54 draw controls and 36 caused turnovers.
