Senior kicker Rob Steinberg didn't enjoy one of his most memorable days Saturday.

Before the showdown with William & Mary, the Los Angeles native never had suffered a blocked punt.

Saturday he suffered two.

Steinberg, who has already punted half as many times as he did all last year, kicked 10 times for a 28.8 average against the Tribe.

To compound matters, the 5-ft., 8-in. kicker missed his only extra point attempt. As a result, Saturday's game marked the first time in his 14 game career that Steinberg failed to score a point.

The missed PAT also brought to an end a streak of eight straight conversions.

In Ivy League action this weekend, Penn will put a 10-game Ancient Eight winning streak on the line when it hosts an improving Brown squad.

The last Ivy loss for the Quakers was a 28-0 drubbing at the hands of Harvard two years ago.

In the only other all-Ivy game, Columbia travels to Princeton. Elsewhere, Yale will host Holy Cross.

Also, Dartmouth Coach Joe Yucika will pit his 0-20-1 record against non-Ivy opponents against Colgate.
