No. 23 Princeton's Strong Offensive Second Half Helps Extend Win Streak To 17
February 22, 2020 | Women's Basketball
PRINCETON, N.J. – The No. 23 Princeton Tigers recorded an impressive 53-point second half in an 87-55 take down over the Dartmouth Big Green at Jadwin Gym on Saturday evening.
Â
Bella Alarie registered her 39th career double-double, snagging 26 points, 12 rebounds along with two assists and two steals. Grace Stone matched her personal best with 16 points while Abby Meyers (10) was also in double figures.
Â
Dartmouth led for the entire first quarter until Alarie's layup with 19 seconds left tied the contest at 16-all. The second frame was another close affair as the biggest lead was four points. The home squad held a 34-32 advantage after 20 minutes.
Â
Dartmouth's Paula Lenart's jumper 34 seconds into the third frame cut Princeton's lead to two, 36-34.
Â
The Big Green would score just one more basket over the next eight minutes.
Â
The Tigers, on the other hand, scored a little more.
Â
25 points more to be exact.
Â
Head coach Carla Berube's squad shot a ridiculous 73.3 percent in the third stanza and hit four of its five three-point attempts, stretching its lead to 22, 65-43, following three quarters.
Â
Dartmouth never made it a game after that.
Â
Almost half of the Tigers' points (42) came in the paint. Princeton registered 22 points off of 20 Dartmouth turnovers.
Â
Princeton's winning streak is now at 17. The Tigers are 21-1 overall and 9-0 in the Ivy League. Dartmouth dropped to 8-15 and 2-8 in conference action. Berube's unit welcomes Penn to Jadwin Gym on Tuesday. Tip-off is at 7 p.m.
