Women's Basketball's Defense Shines In 55-40 Win Over Penn
January 16, 2023 | Women's Basketball
PRINCETON – The Women's Basketball Team's defense led the way as it gave up just 14 baskets in a 55-40 victory over the Ivy League leading Penn Quakers at Jadwin Gym on Monday afternoon.
The Quakers made their first four shots in the first 2:04 of game action to take an 8-2 lead.
They would go onto make 10 baskets in the final 37:56 of the contest and shot 22.7 percent the rest of the way (10-of-44).
Princeton ran off the next eight points to take a 10-8 lead before holding a 15-10 advantage after 10 minutes. Penn made one basket after their initial push in the quarter.
The Quakers closed the gap to two, 17-15, early in the second stanza, before the Tigers countered with a 14-2 run to close the first half, extending its lead to 14, 31-17.
Head coach Carla Berube's squad led by as many as 20 in the second half and was never threatened the rest of the contest.
Penn's 29.2 percent shooting overall was its second lowest total of the season. Princeton scored 18 points off 20 turnovers. The Tigers held Penn's Kayla Padilla, who came into the game fourth in the conference in scoring, to 15 points on 17 shots including just two points in the second half.
Madison St. Rose led the Tigers with 15 points, adding five rebounds. She has three 15+ point performances in her last four games. Julia Cunningham (11) and Grace Stone (10) also scored in double figures. Cunningham also contributed four assists and four steals in the win.
Princeton heads on the road next Saturday to take on Dartmouth. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m.
