The Penn vs. Princeton Series
*These teams split last year's pair of matches, with Penn taking the regular season battle 1-0 while Princeton won the Ivy League tournament final 3-1.
 
*Stas Korzeniowksi scored the game-winning goal in the 85th minute of 2024's regular season closer to secure the Quakers their third-straight Ivy League regular season title and the #1 seed in the ILT.
 
*The Red and Blue have a narrow 50-47-11 lead in the all-time series with the Tigers.
 
Quaker Notemeal
*Penn secured its spot in the 2025 Ivy League tournament last weekend off a 3-0 shutout over Yale at Rhodes Field.
 
*Patrick Cayelli and Jack Wagoner led the charge, tallying four points each, with Cayelli netting the game-winner and setting up Wagoner's first collegiate brace in the battle.
 
*On the defensive end of the pitch, Phillip Falcon III stopped all of Yale shots on goal to record his seventh shutout of the season and the 16th of his career.
 
*Midfielder Cayelli was named Ivy League Offensive Player of the week off his four-point outing with the Bulldogs.
 
*Senior Cayelli is having a dominant senior season, leading Penn and the Ivy League in assists (8), goals (9), shots on goal (24), and points (26).
 
*Romeo Dahlen is having a dominant sophomore campaign, trailing Cayelli in goals with six to bring 13 points into Saturday's Ivy battle.


*Keeper Falcon looks to build off his stellar sophomore season, being named a USC Goalkeeper to Watch during the preseason. Falcon holds a 0.50 goals-against average, 0.868 save percentage, and 33 saves heading into the weekend.
