The No. 1-ranked men’s squash team and the No. 8-ranked women’s squash team made easy work of Dickinson and Franklin & Marshall on Sunday at the Penn Squash Center.
Led by three-time First-Team All-American Andrew Douglas, who played in the No. 1 slot, the men’s team defeated 26th-ranked Dickinson 9-0 on Sunday morning. Douglas, a senior, posted 11-8, 11-5, 11-7 wins over Nicolas Serna. The Quakers lost only two games out of 29 played.
Sunday afternoon, the Red & Blue filleted 15th-ranked Franklin & Marshall 9-0. Senior Aly Abou Eleinen played in the No. 1 slot and won his match 11-2, 11-4, 11-7 against Philadelphia native Tommy Fournaris. The Quakers did not lose a game to the Diplomats.
On Saturday, the men’s team defeated 24th-ranked Chatham 9-0 and 6th-ranked Drexel 9-0 at the Penn Squash Center. Across 36 weekend matches, the Quakers lost just seven games and stand at 4-0.

The 3-1 women’s team bounced back from a 4-5 loss to No. 6 Drexel on Saturday afternoon, and downed 17th-ranked Dickinson 9-0 on Sunday morning and 18th-ranked Franklin & Marshall 9-0 on Sunday afternoon.
Senior Jamila Abou El Enin, playing in the No. 1 slot, came from behind to defeat Dickinson’s Amna Fayyaz 11-7, 7-11, 2-11, 11-6, 11-3. In the No. 2 slot, junior Amina Abou El Enin, Jamila’s younger sister, won her match 11-6, 11-5, 11-5 over Courtney Trail.
Sophomore Yoshna Singh played in the No. 1 slot against Franklin & Marshall and won her match 11-1, 11-2, 11-3over Audrey Berling. The women won all nine matches against the Diplomats without losing a single game.
The women’s and men’s teams take on Virginia (No. 9 women’s, No. 7 men’s) Stanford (No. 10 women’s), Williams (No. 12 women’s, No. 14 men’s), and Bates (No. 15 women’s, No. 22 men’s) this weekend at the Penn Squash Center.
Penn engineers and collaborators have developed a transparent, micro-engineered device that houses a living, vascularized model of human lung cancer—a “tumor on a chip”—and show that the diabetes drug vildagliptin helps more CAR T cells break through the tumor’s defenses and attack it effectively.
Tumor-on-a-chip offers insight into cancer-fighting cells in immunotherapy
Penn engineers and collaborators have built a living tumor on a chip to expose how cancers block immune attacks, and how one existing drug could make immunotherapy like CAR T more effective against solid tumors.
Professor of city and regional planning Erick Guerra recently published a book exploring the economic and societal impacts of American highways. He explains some of the pitfalls associated with an ever-expansive highway system, arguing that spending more on highways might not be the solution to the country’s transportation issues.
Penn urban planner Erick Guerra’s new book, “Overbuilt,” argues that additional spending on building more highways might not be the solution to the country’s transportation issues. In a Q&A, Guerra shares his insights.
Xin Sun prepares samples collected from the Eastern Tropical North Pacific aboard a research vessel. By adding stable isotope tracers to these vials, Sun and her team can track how different microbial groups convert nitrogen compounds into nitrous oxide, revealing how subtle shifts in oxygen and organic matter change the ocean’s chemistry.
Can tiny ocean organisms offer the key to better climate modeling?
In the shadowy layers of the Pacific, microbes decide how much nitrous oxide—a potent greenhouse gas—rises skyward. New research from Penn’s Xin Sun offers an improved understanding of microbial ecology and geochemistry—key to forecasting global emissions in response to natural and man-made climate change.
Two X-ray plates from Arthur Goodspeed, believed to have created the world’s first X-ray image, were donated by his family to Penn’s University Archives.
