Though the top-seeded Princeton women's tennis team had the first match on court in the ECAC Championship that began Friday in Jadwin Gym, but the 8 a.m. first serve was no roadblock on the Tigers' path forward in the draw.

Princeton moved past eighth-seeded Harvard 4-0, advancing to face fifth-seeded Brown in a semifinal match to be played at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Princeton took the first two matches off the court to win the doubles point, and then national No. 81 Stephanie Schrage, Tiffany Chen and Gaby Pollner won their singles matches to get Princeton to the clinching fourth point and end the match.
