Co-captain quarterback Kyle Newhall-Caballero '11.5 and the rest of the football squad will look to end Penn's 18-game Ivy win streak Saturday.

Some of you may have noticed there was no cheering going on last week on this blog. Some of you may even have missed this informative post. We’re sorry. We sincerely hope it won’t happen again.

Saturday is officially Take On Penn Day at Brown. For those of you who think sports are violent and send the wrong message, please tell this to Penn. They’re Quakers.

It was a busy weekend for Bruno as the competition kicked into full swing in the past week for several teams. Here’s the quick rundown of results.
THE WINNERS

Men’s soccer: 2-0-1 overall. The Bears tied Lehigh in their first game and beat SMU and Adelphi at home over the weekend.

Men’s water polo: 5-2 overall. The Princeton Invitational was a big success for Bruno, with Ws in three out of four games.

Field hockey: 2-2 overall. The team started off with two losses but swept this weekend against Monmouth and Bryant.
