PRINCETON, N.J. – After an extremely competitive Ivy League men’s soccer season in 2023, Penn was picked first in the 2024 preseason poll after a media vote.
The Quakers took the first-place spot after receiving 115 points and seven first-place votes, however, Yale, which finished in second with 108 points, received the majority of first-place votes with eight.
