PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton women's rugby team is set to host fellow Ivy Dartmouth for a big matchup on Saturday at Haaga House. Kickoff is set for 11 a.m.

A Historic Start
Now 4-0, the Tigers boast their best record to start a season in program history (since becoming varsity). The Tigers have scored 91 or more points in each of their last three contests, setting new program records for most points scored and largest margin of victory twice.

The last contest was a road match at Frostburg State two weeks ago, when the Tigers downed the Bobcats 94-0.

The Fa'ae'e Era
Fa'ae'e was named head coach of the program in May, coming to Princeton after spending 2025-26 as an assistant coach at Brown and serving as an assistant coach of the USA U-23 team.

The Returners
Including Malinka Kwemo, who was named All-National Intercollegiate Rugby Association (NIRA) Honorable Mention in 2024, the Tigers return fellow seniors Laura Barnds, Ava Gregory, Maya Kenny, Hannah Mulligan and Celia Watson along with juniors Annie Huettel, Lila King, Stella McBride, Lindsey Mulligan, Reyna Palmer, Riley Pan and Raven Robinson. Returning sophomores include Maizy Miller, Myah Natorp, Hazel Pron, Charlie Wolfe and Sara Zavieh.

The Newcomers
Five new sophomores join the Tigers in 2026 in Christina Fuentes, Lehua Harris, Lexie Loughran, Emily Popek and Sophia White. First-years Alexandra Hawthorne and Siena Miller also join the squad.

History Against Dartmouth
The Big Green have taken all three 15s contests since Princeton became a varsity program in 2022.
