Princeton Holds Missouri To Program Low 33 Points In Dominating Victory
December 18, 2019 | Women's Basketball
COLUMBIA, Mo. – The Princeton Tigers' defense stole the show as it held the Missouri Tigers to a program-low 33 points in a 68-33 win at the Mizzou Arena on Wednesday evening.
It's the fourth time in program history that Missouri had been held to just 33 points. The home unit registered just 12 baskets in the game.
Princeton started off with the first 15 points and held Missouri without a basket for the first 5:57 of game action. The road unit allowed just two baskets in the first 10 minutes as it led 15-5.
Missouri closed within eight, 19-11, but Princeton countered with treys from Maggie Connolly and Abby Meyers. Head coach Carla Berube's unit went into the break with 31-15 lead.
Princeton opened up the second half with seven of the first nine, expanding its advantage to 21, 38-17, with 5:48 to go in the quarter. Two free throws from Missouri hardly slowed down the 10-1 Princeton squad. The two-time defending Ivy Champions used a 14-5 sprint to wrap up the third quarter and take a 27-point lead, 51-24, into the final 10 minutes.
Princeton wasn't threated the rest of the way.
Carlie Littlefield led Princeton with 22 points, securing seven rebounds and three steals. Bella Alarie just missed a double-double with 12 points and nine rebounds, adding three blocks and two helpers. Ellie Mitchell had 10 rebounds in the win.
Berube's team now sits at 10-1 overall and currently has a six-game winning streak. Missouri fell to 3-9 this year. Princeton finishes off this Midwest trip at St. Louis on Friday. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m.
