As spring finally approaches, several of Penn teams were out in full force over the weekend against some of the best competition the Ivy League, and in one case Great Britain, has to offer. From softball sweeps to tennis defeats, and everything in between, here is this week's edition of the Weekend Wrap:

Baseball:

After falling in the semifinals of the Liberty Bell Classic on Tuesday, the Red and Blue hit the diamond over the weekend in back-to-back conference doubleheaders. The Quakers split two games against Brown on Saturday, falling 9-0 in the opener before capturing the nightcap, 9-5. On Sunday, Penn was guided by strong pitching performances against Yale. The Quakers took the opener, 5-1, before losing the final game of the weekend in a pitchers dual, 1-0.

The Penn men's tennis team saw its road struggles persist over the weekend in the team's first back-to-back Ivy League action of the spring. On Saturday, the Quakers fell to Brown, 5-2. Sophomore Vim De Alwis and freshman Blaine Willenborg were the only two players to win singles matches. The following day, Penn fell to No. 54 Yale, 7-0. The Red and Blue are now 0-8 on the road, and 0-3 in Ivy play.

Women's Lacrosse:

Matched up against Columbia, the Penn women's lacrosse team did what it does best: defeat the Lions. For the 17th consecutive meeting, the Quakers defeated Columbia, 13-8. Penn was led by a trio of hat-tricks from senior attack Caroline Bunting, junior midfield Shannon Mangini and junior attack Courtney Tomchik. The Red and Blue moved to 4-0 in the Ancient Eight with the victory.

Softball:

Following a 17-2 embarrassment against Monmouth earlier last week, the Penn softball team was in desperate need of a gut-check against two tough Ivy opponents this weekend. Luckily, they got exactly what they needed. The Quakers swept Yale in two games on Saturday by a combined score of 16-0. In Providence, R.I., the next day, two more solid victories completed the successful weekend for Penn.
