Quaker Notemeal
* With a win Saturday night, Penn would reach 11 victories in a season for the eighth time in program history and just the fourth time since 1974.
 
* Ben Stitz and Stas Korzeniowski share the team lead for goals with nine. One more goal would make either player the first Quaker with at least 10 goals in a season since Steven Marcinkiewicz had 12 in 1995.
 
* Korzeniowski is the first Quaker to score in three straight Ivy League matches since Alex Touche at the end of the 2019 season.
 
* Penn's 35 goals this season are the program's most in a single season since the 1977 team scored 42 times.
 
* Leo Burney is the only Ivy League player with two game-winning goals this season in conference play.
 
* Stitz, who entered the year with three career goals in 48 matches, scored in seven straight matches between September 11 and October 11, the first Quaker to do so in more than 30 years.
 
Senior Night
Before the match, Penn will honor five men playing their final regular season home game: Will Schlatterer, Jack Rosener, Nick Schimbeno, Isaac McGinnis, and Stitz.
