Box Score

Senior Caroline Sklaver ended her 2018 home career with one final impressive showing at Dillon Gym Saturday night, as she posted 12 kills and hit .556 in a 3-0 sweep of Dartmouth. The victory ends the 2018 Princeton season with a 19-6 overall record, as well as a 12-2 mark in Ivy play. The latter record would have won the Ivy League most seasons, but Yale finished off its championship effort with a 3-0 sweep of Columbia Saturday, which gave the Bulldogs an outright title with a 13-1 record.

Despite not having control of its own destiny in the league race, Princeton's focus Saturday was simply getting a win and sending the senior quartet of Sklaver, Nnenna Ibe, Claire Nussbaum, and Brittany Smith out with a win. The Tigers rolled early with a 25-11 opener, and then they held off Dartmouth 25-23 and 25-20 in the final two.

Ibe got the start in her collegiate finale and recorded eight kills with only one error, while juniors Maggie O'Connell and Devon Peterkin combined for 21 kills. Nussbaum had five assists in the victory, while Smith added a kill. Ivy leader Jessie Harris had 34 assists, while Alexa Underwood led the team with 10 digs.
