Penn’s men’s lacrosse team captured its fifth Ivy League title in program history this season. Despite being picked in some preseason polls to finish in the bottom half of the conference, number 5 Penn dominated Dartmouth in a 22-6 contest to capture its first outright Ivy League title since 1986 and the third outright in program history. Penn (8-3, 6-0 Ivy) outshot the Big Green (2-10, 0-5), 64-27, while winning 26 of 31 face-off opportunities.

“I think a lot of our success is due to our personnel, since we were scoring goals with our third and fourth midfield lines and making really nice plays, and also because this team embraces the pace at which coach [Mike] Abbott’s offense operates,” Coach Mike Murphy said. “I’ve been telling these guys all year: This is the best and deepest team that I’ve had in my 10 years here.”
