Box Score

Last month, Princeton found itself trailing Yale, 40-36, with 8:44 to go before rallying to a 61-49 victory.

Tonight was a little different.

Yale's only lead was 2-0.

The Tigers ended the first quarter on a 9-2 sprint to hold a 21-11 advantage. The conference leading home squad kept Yale off the scoreboard for the final 4:36 of the first half to take a 38-19 lead into halftime.

Yale never got within 20 the rest of the way.

Princeton allowed five baskets in the second half and 17 points total. The Tigers had at least 17 points in every stanza.

Kaitlyn Chen and Abby Meyers co-led Princeton with 14 points apiece while Grace Stone (12) and Julia Cunningham (11) were also in double figures.

One night after forcing 31 Brown turnovers, the Tigers made the Bulldogs turn the ball over 25 times.

The Tigers are now 19-4 overall and 11-0 in the Ivy League. Yale is 14-10 this season and 7-5 in the conference.

On a 12-game winning streak and 37-game conference streak, Princeton heads to Columbia on Wednesday. The nationally televised game on ESPNU is set for 5 p.m.
