How Did We Get Here?
•Princeton is 3-1 this season after most recently defeating the Fordham Rams, 70-67, at Jadwin Gym on Nov. 14.

•Against the Rams, Grace Stone tied her career high with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting while Kaitlyn Chen also dropped in 19 on 8-of-9 from the floor. Ellie Mitchell filled up the stat sheet again with a double-double (10 points, 14 rebounds) and five steals. Julia Cunningham had 13 points in the win.

•Trailing by five, Fordham made another run, scoring 8-of-10, to take a one-point lead, 58-57, as the clock read six minutes. The two teams exchanged buckets before a huge three by Stone with three minutes left gave the home unit the advantage for good, 62-61. Chen added on to the lead while Mitchell grabbed two consecutive offensive rebounds that wasted nearly a minute of action. The Tigers then hit five from the charity stripe over the final 24 seconds to collect the win.

•Princeton shot 53.8 percent from the floor vs. Fordham, its best mark since an 83-48 win over Brown in Feb. of 2020 (54.0).

•Princeton's game at Buffalo was cancelled because of the snowstorm in the Buffalo area.
