Sophomore Katie Kinzer continues to lead Princeton in scoring and is followed closely by sophomore Holly McGarvie, sophomore Sarah Reinprecht and freshman Tina Bortz.
Tuesday's game will be Princeton's sixth this season against a ranked opponent and its fourth against a top-10 team. Princeton is currently 1-4 in those games, defeating No. 17 William & Mary.
