And the team didn’t win the time of possession battle, its Achilles’ heel all season??Penn held the ball for nearly two-thirds of the game.“It’s interesting that you have 27 first downs to their 12 and you rush for 254 yards and you still lose the game,” Quakers coach Al Bagnoli said...

He had three assists in the Crimson’s last two regular season games, when the squad was fighting to clinch a first-round bye in the ECAC tournament. Biega also recorded an assist during last season??s epic Beanpot finale against No. 7 Boston College, who edged Harvard 6-5 in overtime.
