This Series with Princeton
Wednesday's match will be the 32nd meeting between the two teams, as Princeton holds a 17-10-4 lead in the series. The Quakers' last victory against the Tigers came back in 2014, a 3-2 victory on the road. The longest winning streak for the Quakers spanned from 1997-99, a three-match stretch.
 
Quaker Notemeal
*At 5-4-2, Penn has already surpassed its win total from last season, when the Quakers went 3-6-7 and set a program mark for ties in a season.
 
*Penn looks to stay in the win column at home; the Red and Blue are 4-0-1 at Penn Park.
 
*Freshman Abbey Cook scored her second collegiate goal against Yale, tying for first among Penn players with sophomore Mallory Lucas and senior Lauren Teuschl. Penn has had seven different goal scorers this season.
 
*Penn's most recent victory came Wednesday night when the Quakers shut out Iona, 3-0. Freshman Taylor Ferraro, senior Paige Kenton, and sophomore Mallory Lucas were the Quakers' goal scorers in a match where Penn outshot the Gaels, 26-2.

*Dr. Krissy Turner is in her second season coaching Penn after 24 years at Monmouth (1998-2021) and three at Lafayette (1995-97). Coincidentally, her 300th win as a head coach came Thursday, September 7, against the Leopards, and she enters the weekend 302-178-54 all-time.

*So far this season, senior Laurence Gladu—a two-time honorable mention All-Ivy pick—has 35 saves while allowing just seven goals. She has an 83-percent save percentage so far this season.

*Senior Ginger Fontenot has been crucial to Penn's back line since her return from injury. The senior was a second-team All-Ivy pick last season and received Ivy League Honor Roll this past week. After a bit of a slow start to the season due to injuries, she has played 674 minutes.
 
*Junior Megan Lusher ranks seventh in the Ivy League with 26 shots (2.36 per match), with freshman Abbey Cook ranking 10th with 24 (2.18 per match).

*Expect to see a lot of new faces playing major roles as the season progresses. Lusher has seen extensive time in every match so far and six of the eight freshmen on the roster have also seen time (Magali Capdevila, Avery Chapel, Mia Fuss, Leah Finkelman,  Cook, Taylor Ferraro) with five of them starting at least once (Ferraro nine starts, Capdevila and Cook eight, Chapel four, Fuss one).
