Despite 20 kills from Sheena Donohue and 25 digs from Hillary Ford, the Princeton women's volleyball team was unable to end its 2009 season with an upset win at Penn. The 2009 Ivy League champion Quakers held off a late rally for a 3-1 victory at The Palestra.
Donohue, the multiple-time All-Ivy selection, recorded one more double-double while playing her final career match at Princeton. She recorded 20 kills and 13 digs while adding two aces in the 25-17, 25-23, 16-25, 25-21 loss to Penn. Fellow outside Lydia Rudnick added 12 kills and 13 digs, while freshman setter Molly Bagshaw recorded 45 assists. Ford led the defense with her 25 digs, while both Elizabeth McStravick and Taylor Carroll both recorded three blocks.
The loss ends Princeton's season at 11-15 overall, 9-5 in the Ivy League. After a 1-9 start, Princeton finished by winning 10 of its last 16 matches. In league play, the Tigers were 0-4 against the two teams above them in the standings (Penn and Yale), but were an impressive 9-1 against the rest of the league.
