November 28, 2021 | Women's Basketball
Maine's Anne Simon hit a pull up jumper to put her squad in front, 4-2, four minutes into the game.
Â
The Black Bears did not score the rest of the quarter.
Â
It was that kind of defensive performance for the Princeton Tigers as they rolled to an 82-43 victory over the Maine Black Bears on Sunday afternoon.
Â
Four players scored in double figures including a game-high 21 from Abby Meyers on 9-of-14 shooting. She also added five rebounds, two assists and a steal. Julia Cunningham (14), Maggie Connolly (11) and Grace Stone (11) were the other Tigers in double figures. Ellie Mitchell tied her personal best with six steals in the win.
Â
Maine went 7:50 of game action without scoring a point while the Tigers ran off 21 straight. Princeton stretched its lead to 22 at the intermission, 39-17, after shooting 68.8 percent in the second stanza. Head coach Carla Berube's team forced 14 first half turnovers.
Â
The Tigers put the contest away in the second half with a 24-6 run in the third frame to expand their lead to 40, 65-25, with 3:03 left on the clock. Princeton had at least a 34-point lead the rest of the way.
Â
Princeton held Maine to 38.6 percent shooting, registered 22 points off 24 Maine turnovers and had 12 steals.
Â
Berube's unit heads back on the road to take on No. 25 Florida Gulf Coast on Wednesday. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.
