October 26, 2022 | Women's Basketball
PRINCETON – The Princeton Tigers were picked No. 25 in the Women's Basketball Coaches' Association (WBCA) Preseason Poll, the organization announced today.
Â
This is the second time that the Tigers have been ranked in this preseason poll (2015-16). They were unranked in the poll last season.
Â
The 2021-22 season saw Princeton finish with a 25-5 record, advancing to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament for just the second time in program history. After a second consecutive undefeated regular season championship in the Ivy League, the Tigers swept both games of the Ivy League Tournament to earn an automatic bid to NCAAs.

Seeded No. 11, the Tigers knocked off No. 6 Kentucky -- the SEC Tournament champion -- in the First Round, 69-62. Princeton would then take No. 3 Indiana to the limit in the Second Round, falling to the hosts at Assembly Hall, 56-55.

Carla Berube was named Ivy League Coach of the Year for the second season in a row, and again coached the Ivy League Player of the Year in unanimous selection Abby Meyers who was also named unanimous first-team All-Ivy. Ellie Mitchell was named Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year, while Julia Cunningham (first team) and Grace Stone (honorable mention) also garnered All-Ivy honors.
