A 6-1 win over Yale Saturday in New Haven allowed the Princeton women's tennis team to pass the halfway point of the Ivy League season with a perfect league record.

Princeton will look for the weekend sweep Saturday at Brown at 1 p.m. Updates will be available on Twitter at @PrincetonTennis.

Harvard, the only other team with a perfect Ivy record entering the weekend, stayed that way with a 4-3 win over Columbia Saturday. The Tigers and Crimson are scheduled to meet next Saturday in Princeton.

Saturday, Princeton took the first two doubles matches to end, with Sara Goodwin and Nathalie Rodilosso winning on court three and Clare McKee and Katrine Steffensen winning on court two. The Tigers then followed that with singles wins from Gaby Pollner, Rodilosso and McKee to get to the clinching fourth point before Nicole Kalhorn and Stephanie Schrage added wins to get Princeton to six points on the day.
