Defense also played a role, with sophomore Brogan Berry stealing the ball twice in the 16th minute and junior Jackie Alemany swiping the ball right after to expose the Quakers??€™ weak ball handling. After consequent substitutions by both teams, Alemany blocked an attempted shot to keep Penn from gaining any momentum.

Rappo finished with a major decision to put the Quakers on top for good...
