February 01, 2020 | Women's Basketball
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Princeton Tigers finished off an Ivy League weekend sweep with 60-46 takedown of the Harvard Crimson at the Lavietes Pavilion on Saturday afternoon.
Â
Julia Cunningham led all scorers with 16 points while Bella Alarie (13) and Carlie Littlefield (10) also scored in double figures. Princeton outrebounded Harvard, 38-23, and forced 10 steals led by Littlefield four swipes.
Â
The Tigers closed out the first stanza with a 10-0 push to take a 17-9 advantage after 10 minutes. Cunningham's mid-range jumper put Princeton ahead by double-digits (22-12) for the first time at the 6:09 mark of the second frame. Seven straight points, later on, extended the road squad's lead to 14, 29-15, with under three minutes left. A trey by Alarie gave head coach Carla Berube's unit a 32-22 advantage at halftime.
Â
Princeton did not allow a point over the last three minutes of the third quarter, taking a 47-36 lead into the fourth frame. Berube's team began the first portion of the stanza with an 11-3 sprint to make it a 22-point affair (58-36). Harvard never threatened after that.
Â
The Tigers now sit at 15-1 overall and 3-0 in the Ivy League, currently on an 11-game winning streak. Harvard is 11-6 this season and 1-2 in the conference. Cornell (Feb. 7) and Columbia (Feb. 8) come to Jadwin next weekend.
