Since 1992, Penn had been a thorn in Yale's side, keeping the Elis from getting anywhere close to an Ivy League title.
But it's not the offense that places Yale low in the preseason polls. The Elis' defense leaves much to be desired.
Without strong defense, the Elis' already weak net will be even more vulnerable. The Bulldogs take a huge hit with the loss of defensive weapon Alex Westlund between the pipes. They look to senior Trevor Hanger and sophomore Dan Lombard to pick up the slack.
The Bulldogs (5-21-3, 2-21-3) have their work cut out for them this year. The only bright spot is that Coach John Marchetti has all but two of last year's players to pull the Elis out of the cellar.
Junior defenseman Lauren Gulka (2, 6) will lead the Elis at the blueline, and sophomore goaltender Katie Hirte (4.61 GAA) will mind the net for the Bulldogs.
