Last week in review: Another double-win week moved the women’s basketball team to within one victory of tying the program season win record of 19 set during the 2005-06 campaign. The 18-win mark has only been achieved twice in program history — 2004-05 and 2007-08, both before the college entered its NCAA era in 2014.

On the horizon: This coming Saturday will be a sweetheart of a day for Penn College athletics as the wrestling team will defend its title when it hosts the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Championships starting at 10 a.m. at Bardo Gymnasium, the basketball teams wrap up their United East Conference regular seasons, the archery team competes in the USA Archery Indoor Championships at Lancaster, and the men’s lacrosse team is scheduled to open its season at Susquehanna University.

Last year at the AMCC Championship, the wrestling team, in just its second season in the conference, dominated the championships, sending 18 to the podium — eight of them champions — and finishing with 191 points in a five-team field.
