Quaker Notemeal
Penn is 9-0 entering the weekend, looking to pick up where it left off in the 2024 calendar year. Ahead of their month-long break, the Quakers swept No. 14 Western (9-0) with strong showings from Salman Khalil (#3), Omar Hafez (#4), Nathan Kueh (#5), and Oliver Green (#6). They, along with freshman Rustin Wiser, all maintained undefeated individual records with the victory. Looking ahead to the CSA Individual Championship tournament in a couple of weeks, these matches look to serve as important tests for the team.
Previewing the Bantams
Trinity is 4-0 entering the weekend, three of those wins coming against other nationally-ranked programs (No. 10 Tufts, No. 20 Middlebury, and No. 18 Colby). In the last five years, the Bantams have won three of their seven matchups against the Quakers, going 1-1 last season, including a 7-1 loss in the Potter Cup final.
Previewing the Bulldogs
Yale is entering the weekend 2-0, with wins over No. 5 Virginia and No. 7 Drexel. Despite a long history of dominance, the Elis have fallen to the Quakers in six of their seven matches in the last five years. The Bulldogs play their first Ivy League match on Saturday at Princeton before traveling south to face Penn on Sunday.
