Background
During its fourth year under head coach Jerry Berndt, the Quakers compiled an 8–1 record and outscored opponents 286 to 152.[1] Lal Heneghan and Kevin Bradley were the team captains.[2]
Penn's undefeated (7–0) conference record topped the Ivy League standings. The Quakers outscored Ivy opponents 254 to 90.[3] It was the first time since 1970 that any team had gone undefeated in Ivy League play.
The Quakers' only loss came in an away game against a non-league, Division I-A opponent, Army.
Despite beating every Division I-AA opponent it faced, Penn did not appear in the weekly top 20 national rankings.
Penn played its home games at Franklin Field adjacent to the university's campus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
