No. 21 Princeton Demolishes Brown; Earns Outright Ivy Title
February 28, 2020 | Women's Basketball
PRINCETON, N.J. – The No. 21 Princeton Tigers picked up their 15th Ivy League title following an 81-39 takedown of the Brown Bears at Jadwin Gym on Friday evening.
Â
Long after Jadwin emptied out, the Yale Bulldogs defeated Penn, 71-54, in Philadelphia, securing the Tigers' outright Ivy crown. It's the program's eighth conference championship since 2010 after having just six prior.
Â
Bella Alarie led the way offensive with 18 points while three others (Julia Cunningham, Carlie Littlefield and Ellie Mitchell) scored in double figures. The two-time Ivy League Player of the Year also had four swats, three helpers and two steals. Mitchell produced a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds in the win.
Â
Princeton allowed 15 baskets to Brown including just four in the first half. Head coach Carla Berube's squad grabbed 22 offensive caroms and finished with a 44-30 rebounding advantage. The Tigers had 22 assists on 29 buckets, created a season-best 28 turnovers and had 16 steals. It's the 14th victory for the Tigers by more than 20 points and the 10th time they never trailed in a game.
Â
The Tigers registered the first 14 points and did give up a point for the first 4:55 of the matchup. The closest Brown got was nine (14-7) with 3:37 left … in the first quarter. The Bears trailed by double-digits for the final 33:28 of game action.
Â
With the win, Princeton's streak extends to 19 and makes it 23-1 overall. Brown dropped to 8-16 this season and 2-9 in the conference. Tomorrow's game vs. Yale is set for 5 p.m. Prior to the contest, the Tigers will honor its two senior captains, Bella Alarie and Taylor Baur, who earned their third straight Ivy championship in the win over Brown.
