Women's Basketball: 10 Things from the Season's First Half
January 17, 2016 | Women's Basketball
With first-semester exams in full swing and the next women's basketball game just short of two weeks away, here's a look back at the first half of Princeton's season:
 |
1. Just Win Princeton is 11-4 through its first 15 games and is 159-34 in the last seven seasons. Princeton is nine wins away from its seventh-straight 20-win season. |
| 2. Annie cleans the glass Annie Tarakchian has a team-best 136 rebounds, or 9.1 per game. Tarakchian set the program record for rebounds in a season a year ago with 298, when she averaged 9.3 per game. No Princeton player in the last 30 years has averaged more than nine rebounds per game in a season besides Tarakchian, who with 613 career rebounds is 20 away from 10th place all-time at Princeton. She is also the only Princeton women's basketball player ever with at least 600 rebounds and 100 three-pointers made. |

 |
3. No place like home Princeton is 7-0 at home and has now won 18 straight on Carril Court. Along the home highlights, Princeton defeated Duquesne 94-66 on Nov. 15. Duquense then won 16 straight after that. Princeton defeated ACC-rival Pitt 61-47 after opening the game on a 28-2 run. |
| 4. Stat leaders Princeton leads the Ivy League in scoring offense, scoring margin, rebounding offense, rebounding defense, rebounding margin, offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds. |
 |
 |
5. Tournament champions Princeton defeated UC-Irvine and Seattle to win the Loyola Marymount tournament Thanksgiving weekend. Michelle Miller (left) was the tournament MVP (she went past 1,000 points in the championship game), and she was joined on the all-tournament team by Annie Tarakchian and Amanda Berntsen. |
| 6. Swish There are three Ivy League women's basketball players shooting at least 50% from the field, and two of them are Tigers: Alex Wheatley at 52.1% and Amanda Berntsen (right) at 50%. Berntsen is also second in the Ivy League in assists per game. |
 |
 |
7. Michelle Miller, on-court and off Princeton senior Michelle Miller is getting it done in every way. Miller is Princeton's leading scorer with 13.4 points per game, and she is shooting 41% from three-point range and 84.2% from the foul line. Miller became Princeton's 23rd 1,000-point scorer earlier this season, and she is currently 17th all-time at Princeton with 1,117 points. If that wasn't enough, Miller was also a Rhodes Scholar finalist. |
| 8. Wheatley closes in If Michelle Miller was the 23rd Princeton women's basketball player to reach 1,000 points, then Alex Wheatley will probably be the 24th. Wheatley, also a senior, will return from exams with 953 career points. |
 |
 |
9. National TV from Jadwin Gym Princeton defeated Michigan 74-57 in front of nearly 2,000 fans at Jadwin Gym on Dec. 6. The game was televised nationally by ESPN2, marking the third time in the last two years that Princeton appeared on an ESPN television network. |
| 10. Long way to go Princeton lost its Ivy opener at Penn on Jan. 9 and returns from exams Jan. 29 and 30 against Brown and Yale. Princeton has 13 league games to go, including the season finale at home against Penn on March 8. |
