The University of Pennsylvania women's golf team achieved a significant milestone by sweeping both the team and individual titles at The Intercollegiate at Prospect Bay. After entering the final round tied for the lead, the Quakers shot a tournament-best 296 to finish at 30-over-par 606, edging out Dartmouth by three strokes. Senior Julie Shin tied for first in the individual competition, finishing at 5-over-par 149, and notably recorded the only under-par round of the tournament. This victory marks the 21st team title for the program, a testament to the sustained success under head coach Mark Anderson.
In swimming and diving, Watson Nguyen and Peter Whittington concluded their participation at the NCAA Championships in Atlanta. Nguyen placed 28th in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 52.05 seconds. Both athletes competed in the 200 breaststroke, with Whittington finishing 23rd at 1:53.85 and Nguyen following closely in 26th at 1:54.07. Whittington also qualified for the 400 individual medley, where he placed 31st. The championships marked the end of the 2026 season for the Quakers, who look forward to building on their experiences in the upcoming year.
The Penn squash program also experienced a transition this week, as assistant coach Gustav Detter announced his departure after two successful seasons. Under his guidance, the women's team captured its first Howe Cup national championship since 2000. Detter's contributions extended beyond coaching, as he provided support and mentorship to the players both on and off the court. His legacy will continue as he remains involved with the program as a volunteer assistant coach.
