ITHACA, N.Y. –Legendary head coach Al Bagnoli and his Penn Quakers walked off Schoellkopf Field with a win in his final game as a college coach as Cornell left too many points on the field as the visitors escaped with a 34-26 win on Saturday afternoon at Schoellkopf Field. Penn regained possession of the Trustees' Cup with the win.

Somborn completed 22-of-39 passes for 316 yards and three touchdowns, with Marshall Deutz hauling in six passes for a career-high 102 yards and a score. Somborn also ran for a score. Junior running back Luke Hagy ran 23 times for 111 yards in collecting his third straight 100-yard game to end the season. It is the first time a Big Red player has rushed for 100 yards or more in three straight games since Ryan Kuhn '06 also posted consecutive games over the century mark in the final three contests of 2005.

Defensively, JJ Fives, Jackson Weber, Taylor Betros and Nick Gesualdi had seven tackles apiece, with Gesualdi picking up his fourth interception of the year as well. Betros had a key third down sack to end a first half Penn drive on Senior Day and also forced a fumble. Sophomore Chris Fraser averaged 40.8 yards on four punts, including pinning one kick inside the 5.

Penn sophomore quarterback Alek Torgersen completed 26-of-37 passes for 331 yards and three touchdowns and ran for a team-high 86 yards and another score. His favorite target was Spencer Kulcsar, who hauled in 11 passes for 187 yards and three touchdowns. Tyler Drake had seven tackles and a pair of sacks, while Jack Madden made eight sacks and intercepted a pass.

The Big Red missed three extra-point kicks and scored just 14 points on its six trips to the red zone, including zero points on three trips inside the Penn 7, to complete the season with a 1-9 record. Bagnoli's Quakers finished 2-8 after picking up his 148th career win at Penn, second all-time in Ivy history.

Penn won the game in the third quarter after taking advantage of Cornell's lost opportunities, stretching a 21-18 halftime lead into a 10-point lead early in the quarter. The Quakers added an insurance score in the fourth that more or less put the game away, though the Big Red made it interesting late.

Trailing by 16, Cornell got back within a score with a late fourth quarter touchdown pass from the sophomore connection of Somborn to Matt Sullivan to make it a 10-point game. Somborn then converted a two-point conversion pass to classmate Collin Shaw to make it 34-26 with 4:07 left in regulation.

The Big Red defense gave the offense one last chance with under a minute to play, but despite a long completion to Deutz to keep hopes alive, Cornell couldn't advance past its own 42 and a desperation heave was knocked down on the final play

The Big Red matched the Quakers score-for-score and play-for-play in the first half, though the difference in the 21-18 Penn halftime lead was the Big Red's three missed extra points – one on a bad snap, one that was missed, one that was blocked. A sloppy half that featured five total fumbles and three turnovers caused in large part by the wet field still had excitement from beginning to end.

Cornell opened the game by going 67 yards on six plays in just 2:30, taking the 6-0 lead on 32-yard pass from Somborn to Collin Shaw, with Shaw making an unbelievable one-handed catch. The PAT never had a chance on the bad snap, but Cornell's 6-0 lead energized the Senior Day crowd.

As they did throughout the first half, the Quakers answered the bell. Two drives later, after each team had fumbled and recovered their own miscue to bog down drives, Penn took advantage of a 26-yard punt return to the 23 and took the lead when Alek Torgersen ran 11 yards to paydirt on a third-and-5. The PAT put Penn in the lead 7-6.

The Big Red lost a fumble on the ensuing drive, but Gesualdi got the ball back for the home team by intercepting a pass on the ensuing play.

Cornell and Penn traded punts before the Big Red went back ahead, with Somborn putting the finishing touches on a 63-yard scoring drive by going the last five yards himself on a key fourth-and-4. The PAT was missed and the home team took a 12-7 lead.

The advantage wouldn't last long, as the Quakers scored to go up 14-12, cleaning up with three straight screen passes that gained 64 yards, including the final seven-yard pass from Torgersen to Kulcsar with 12:50 left in the second.

Cornell turned it over in the red zone on the ensuing drive, as a fourth down pass from Somborn was intercepted by Jack Madden at the Penn 1, effectively serving as a punt. The Cornell defense forced a punt in large part thanks to a third-down sack by Taylor Betros to stall the drive and force a punt.

Somborn put the Big Red back up with another perfectly-thrown touchdown pass, this one 51 yards to sophomore Marshall Deutz, to make it 18-14 Cornell with 4:23 remaining before halftime. This time, the PAT was blocked by the Quakers.

Penn scored again to take the lead, marching down the field in just 2:35 to cover 75 yards for the go-ahead score. The Quakers marched off plays of 13, 10 and 21 yards in quick succession and Torgersen went the final yard for the third lead change of the day with 1:48 to play in the half.

Cornell was forced to punt quickly after three straight incompletions. Penn then had one final chance, and a Hail Mary attempt from the Big Red 41 was caught by Conner Scott in the end zone, but the senior landed out of bounds to end the half.

Penn opened the second half with the ball, but the defense forced a punt. The Quakers looked to be running a fake, but the up-man fumbled the ball and Doug Vernon-Scott recovered at the Penn 24. Cornell got the ball to the Penn 19, but turned it over on downs. The defense looked like it would hold, forcing a third-and-7, but Torgersen's screen pass to Kulcsar turned into a 78-yard catch and run that put the Big Red behind the eight-ball.
