Box Score

NEW HAVEN – The No. 24/No. 25 Princeton Women's Basketball Team easily disposed the Yale Bulldogs, 70-25, at the Lee Amphitheater.

Even at 6-all, Princeton used a 13-2 sprint to end the first quarter to hold a 19-8 advantage. The Tigers shot 57.1 percent during that stretch, going 8-of-14 from the floor.

Yale scored the first basket of the second quarter to make the Ivy battle a nine-point affair, 19-10, at the 8:47 mark.

That was the last time the home team was within single digits the rest of the game.

Princeton scored seven of the next eight points and eventually took a 32-15 lead into halftime.

Head coach Carla Berube's team put the game away with an impressive 28-6 third quarter. The nationally ranked squad was 12-of-15 shooting (80.0 percent) while allowing just one basket on nine attempts.

Princeton's defense gave up single digits in each quarter including just four in the final 10 minutes. The Orange and Black's 25 points allowed are the lowest of the Berube era.

Kaitlyn Chen finished with 18 points on 7-of-9 from the floor, securing six assists, two blocks and two rebounds. She finished a +38 in 28 minutes. Madison St. Rose also scored in double figures with 10 points while Tabitha Amanze corralled a personal-best nine points and six rebounds in the victory.

The Tigers' 45-point victory is their largest margin since winning by 47 vs. Hartford last January (84-37).

Princeton is now 20-3 overall and 10-0 in the Ivy League. The Tigers have won at least 20 contests in each of the past six seasons. Berube's unit takes its 15-game winning streak into New York City next Saturday (Feb. 24) to take on Columbia. Tip-off is at 2 p.m.
