*Senior captain

How It Happened
It did not take long for Penn to jump in front Sunday, Russo finishing a feed from Wetzel less than seven minutes into the contest. As it happened, that would be all the Quakers would need as they outshot their guests, 14-5.
Paumen was called upon to make just one save on Sunday, but it was a nice stick save midway through the fourth quarter that kept Penn's lead intact.
Up Next
Penn opens Ivy League play next Friday, hosting No.18 Princeton at 3 p.m., and then closes out a four-game homestand when No. 14 Syracuse comes to town on Sunday for a 1 p.m., start.
