Penn hosting Rutgers in first round NCAA match tonight at Penn Park

For the first time since 2013, an NCAA men’s soccer tournament match will be played in Philadelphia.

Penn is hosting Big 10 tournament champions Rutgers in the first round of the NCAA Tournament tonight at 7 p.m. at Penn Park. It’s their first tournament game since they hosted Providence at Rhodes Field in 2013. The Quakers fell on penalties that night.
