No. 21 Princeton Honors Seniors With 20th Straight Win
February 29, 2020 | Women's Basketball
The No. 21 Princeton Tigers honored its senior captains the best way they could …
Win.
Princeton's 64-49 win over Yale survived as the appetizer for a wonderful postgame celebration as the squad was given the Ivy League trophy and cut down the net in celebration with its outright championship.
Before the contest, the team honored Bella Alarie and Taylor Baur …
Eventually this trey from Grace Stone put Princeton ahead …
As Yale trimmed the contest to an eight-point affair (33-25), Princeton ripped off a 9-2 run to push to extend its lead to 15, 42-27, at the 2:59 mark. The Tigers eventually held a 46-35 lead after 30 minutes.
The Tigers put the Ivy matchup out of reach with a 16-4 sprint to begin the fourth quarter and go up by 23, 62-39, halfway through.
Princeton now sits at 24-1 overall, riding a 20-game winning streak. The Tigers are 12-0 in the Ivy League, all alone at the top. Yale fell to 17-8 this season and 7-5 in conference action. The 2020 Ivy Champions finish the regular season at Columbia and Cornell next weekend.
