Cornell Defending The Three – Gabrielle Rush and Lexi Weger had great success from beyond the arc on Friday night, combining to go 6-of-12. The rest of the team struggled going 2-of-13. Princeton hit seven treys in the first half, but was just 1-of-8 in the second half.

Rebounding – The Tigers took care of business on the glass against Columbia, one of the worst rebounding teams in the country. Princeton held a 46-36 edge, highlighted by 18 offensive rebounds. Grace Stone and Carlie Littlefield led the squad with eight caroms each. Stone snagged five offensive rebounds while Taylor Baur added four more off the bench in the win.

#BellaBuckets - Alarie showed off an all-around game in just 24 minutes vs. Cornell on Friday. She scored 10 points, added eight rebounds, dished out four assists and blocked four shots. Her basket with 11 seconds to go secured the Tigers' 68-64 win. On Saturday, Alarie dropped in 14 points, seven boards, five helpers and a block as Princeton took down Columbia, 65-59.

On to Penn …
Slow Start – Princeton's offense started off slowly in the first matchup vs. Penn in January. The Tigers opened up the game with four baskets in the first quarter and trailed 18-11 after 10 minutes. Princeton eventually caught up and took the lead back in the second half, but Penn ultimately won the contest.

Phoebe Sterba – Sterba contributed 21 points on 6-of-9 shooting including five three-pointers against the Tigers in January. Last weekend against Columbia and Cornell, the junior registered 29 points and hit seven treys as Penn picked up its seventh and eighth conference victories. In four meetings against Princeton prior to this season, Sterba scored three total points.

Gabrielle Rush – Over her last six games, the senior sharp shooter has been Princeton's second leading scorer (15.5) while shooting a team-best 38.2 percent from deep. Prior to that stretch, Rush was third on the team in points (12.4) and shot 34.9 percent from the three-point line. Despite not starting before this season, she is ninth all-time in three-pointers made (175) and 10th in program history in three-point field goal percentage (.356).
