Casey Brown, in her first season coaching the Quakers. The Red and Blue have taken 27 points from 27, going 9-0-0.
*The Quakers are coming off a tough road match at No. 24 Brown on Saturday. In the eighth minute, Brittany Raphino played a ball deep into the Quakers' defensive half to a waiting Ava Seelenfreund, who pushed it straight past the sliding
Laurence Gladu for the score. The Bears early goal proved decisive in a 1-0 win.
*Gladu made six saves against Brown to increase her Ivy League lead to 73 saves.

Lauren Teuschl (3g,7a) and

Lucy Kellogg (Dartmouth), juniors
Emily Pringle (Cornell) and
Miranda Farman, and sophomores
Madison Liebman (at Hofstra) and
Ginger Fontenot (at Temple).
*Penn named three captains for the 2021 season prior to the opener. Cotto and juniors Pringle and
Peyton Raun lead the Quakers.
*Raun is one of two players who received honorable mention All-Ivy recognition in 2019, the other being Lawton.
*A reminder that the four-year seniors on the team—Bruder, Cotto, Duncan, Shenk,
Lucy Kellogg and
Allie Schachter—were members of Penn's last Ivy League championship squad, in 2018.
