Box Score

Sophomore Alexa Underwood had three kills during a match-clinching 4-0 run for the Princeton women's volleyball team, which fought off the host Seton Hall Pirates Tuesday night to claim a 3-1 victory in South Orange, N.J. Trailing 24-22 at the time, the Tigers got three kills from Underwood and a combo block from Maggie O'Connell and Clare Lenihan to secure the 22-25, 25-17, 25-19, 26-24 win.

O'Connell, the reigning Ivy League Player of the Year, led Princeton with 17 kills and six blocks, and she hit .351 for the match, while Underwood posted one of three double-doubles for the Tigers, who improved to 5-3 with the victory. Junior Devon Peterkin, Princeton's leader in kills and points this season, had 10 kills and 12 digs, while classmate Jessie Harris had 49 assists and 16 digs while helping the offense hit .236 for the match.

Freshman Cameron Dames posted an early career-best 25 digs in the win, while Nnenna Ibe added five kills and four blocks.

Princeton will play its final weekend of non-Ivy competition in Philadelphia this weekend, when the Tigers face New Hampshire, Maryland and Temple.
