Quaker Notemeal
The No. 3 ranked men's team comes into Saturday's match after getting back into the win column last weekend against Columbia and Cornell. The top four players in the lineup, Omar Hafez (#1), Salman Khalil (#2), Marwan Abdelsalam (#3) and Alex Dartnell (#4) followed up their CSA Individual Championships runs by adding two wins each over their opponents last weekend. Hafez leads the team with nine wins on the season and was named Penn student athlete of the week for his national championship performance in the CSA Individuals.
 
The No. 2 ranked women's team enters the match as one of just two teams in the CSA standings with an undefeated record. The fourth ranked Tigers will be the toughest test for the Quakers since they knocked off then fourth, now third ranked Stanford on Nov. 22. The team has swept each of their three Ivy League opponents so far this season, looking to add on to their success against the Tigers and clinch an Ivy Tournament berth. Team captain Franka Vidovic and teammates Allie Stoddard and Savannah Ingledew lead the team with 10-0 individual records on the season.
