PENNSYLVANIA QUAKERS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

The Ivy LeagueD1-FCSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

University of Pennsylvania's women's basketball program competes at The Palestra, one of college sports' most historic venues built in 1927, representing the Ivy League among the nation's oldest institutions established in 1740. Coach Mike McLaughlin leads an 18-player roster through a season marked by strong home court performance, where the Quakers have compiled a 6-4 record compared to an 8-5 mark on the road. Pennsylvania's overall 14-9 record reflects a team averaging 64.0 points per game while holding opponents to 57.8, a defensive efficiency that ranks as a program strength despite a 3-5 conference record.

The Quakers' home-away split reveals a team that has paradoxically thrived in hostile environments this season, winning more than 60 percent of road contests while facing tighter margins within their iconic venue. With 23,374 students across campus, Penn draws from an academically rigorous student-athlete pool competing in the Ivy League's competitive landscape. McLaughlin's squad enters the season's final stretch seeking to solidify its postseason positioning while capitalizing on an away record that suggests strong mental toughness and execution in difficult circumstances.
