PRINCETON, N.J. - All 13 active players saw action as Princeton picked up its 12th win of the season in a 62-40 decision over Yale (8-13, 3-6 Ivy) at Jadwin Gym tonight.
With the score tied at 16 each at the 6:13 mark of the first half, Princeton finished out the half on a 15-4 run to lead 31-20 at intermission. Maggie Langlas (Jr., Missoula, Mont.) scored 11 in the opening stanza and finished with a team-high 17, including a 4 for 6 showing from behind the arc.
It was all Princeton in the second half. The fourth ranked Tiger defense allowed only five Bulldog field goals in the second period. The Tigers scored 16 points on 14 Yale turnovers. In turn, Princeton shot 52 percent from the floor, its highest game percentage of the year. The Tigers were perfect from the line, hitting all six attempts.
Senior Lea Ann Drohan (Ballston Lakes, N.Y.) added 12 points. She had one blocked shot which moved her in sole possession of third place all-time at Princeton with 123 career blocks. She surpassed Carol Puza '83 who graduated with 122.
The Tigers (12-8, 7-1 Ivy) will return to action on Saturday, Feb. 13, as they host Brown. Game time is set for 7:00 pm.
