The snow that has covered the Cordish Family Outdoor Tennis Center has finally melted away, enabling the Princeton women's tennis team to venture outside for the first time at home in 2026. With the Ivy League season about to begin, the timing is pretty good.

The 42nd-ranked Tigers played their final non-league match of the season Saturday afternoon, dropping a 4-3 decision to ACC-opponent Wake Forest on the outdoor courts at the Meadows Campus. Bella Chhiv, Madeleine Jessup and Pearlie Zhang gave Princeton singles wins, but a loss of the doubles point ended up being decisive.

The Ivy opener for Princeton will be this coming Saturday at home against Penn.
