The Villanova Wildcats (2-0) are set to travel to the Palestra for a showdown against the Penn Quakers (2-1) in a revamped Big 5 contest on Monday night at 7 pm EST. This season marks the first time Drexel will participate in the Big 5, leading to a shift from the traditional round-robin format to a soccer tournament-style setup.

With the addition of a sixth team, the Big 5 now somewhat misleadingly comprises six teams, necessitating a new moniker. The teams are divided into two pods, with each team playing the other two teams in their pod at their respective on-campus arenas.
