Previewing Penn
The Quakers enter the Potter Cup on a hot streak, having won five consecutive matches, including the last four by a 9-0 score. It has been another historic season for the Quakers, who have maintained the #3 ranking the entire season, as well as setting a new program high in single season shutout victories with nine.

Hoping to continue the success of their 9-0 win against the Bulldogs on February 2nd, the Quakers are once again led into the Potter Cup by the unanimous first-team All-Ivy duo of Andrew Douglas and Aly Abou Eleinen. The two of them are the first Quakers duo to be named first-team All-Ivy in back-to-back seasons since Stewart Ballard and David Proctor in 1986 and 1987.

For seniors David Yacobucci and Wil Hagen, it will be the final opportunity to win the Potter Cup. Yacobucci has tallied five individual wins over his first three Potter Cups, while Hagen has tallied three. Both will be looking to add more wins to their resume, while Yacobucci has an opportunity to finish his career with 50 wins if he goes 3-0.
