A star is born: Olivia Hutcherson leads No. 25 Princeton women’s basketball past Penn to open Ivy play
The Princeton women’s basketball team started the new year and Ivy League season right where they left off in 2025: coming from behind in the fourth quarter to scratch out victories on the road.
The Tigers’ newest victim was an old rival, the Penn Quakers, whom the Tigers outlasted, 74-68, at the Palestra on Saturday afternoon.
Penn suffered its 15th straight setback to Princeton, but if there is any such thing as a silver lining in losing, the Quakers can find one in this game. After outplaying Princeton for nearly three quarters of the game, the Quakers showed they are a legitimate contender in the Ancient Eight this season.
Here are three Tigers takeaways from No. 25 Princeton’s 11th consecutive win on the season:
Tiger Takeaways: Taking stock of Princeton women’s basketball on the eve of Ivy play
The Princeton women’s basketball team tips off its Ivy League season against Penn at the Palestra on Saturday afternoon after finishing the nonconference season with a 12-1 record, a No. 25 ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll, and a gaudy NET ranking of No. 38, tops in the Ivy League.
Here are three Tigers Takeaways as what could be a season of destiny for Princeton transitions to conference play:
A Christmas season miracle lifts Princeton women’s basketball to an overtime win at George Mason
Do you believe in miracles? How about two of them?
Trailing 63-56 late in the fourth quarter, the Princeton women’s basketball team scored seven points in 15 seconds to force George Mason into overtime.
Then, like Lazarus, the Tigers rallied from the grave in the extra stanza to pull out yet another road win, 71-69, on Saturday afternoon at EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, Va. It was the first ever meeting between the two programs.
The triumph, the ninth in a row for the No. 25 Tigers, may be the most memorable and improbable comeback in the storied history of Princeton women’s basketball.
Princeton women’s basketball rolls over Rutgers
It’s beginning to look a lot like the 2019-20 season for the Princeton women’s basketball team.

Old habits die hard.
On Tuesday night at Jadwin Gymnasium, the Princeton women’s basketball team used yet another fourth-quarter comeback, its sixth of the season, to hold off the Seton Hall Pirates, 80-76, for its sixth win a row.
This time, the Tigers (8-1) rallied twice to overcome deficits, including a 14-point second-quarter hole and a five-point gap in the final stanza to hand the Pirates (4-1) their first setback of the season.
The win capped a three-game sweep by Princeton of BIG EAST teams for the second straight year.
The 24th meeting between Princeton and Seton Hall was an instant classic.

On a Thanksgiving holiday weekend, Taylor Charles served up a record-tying seven helpings of stuffing as the Princeton women’s basketball team rolled over the DePaul Blue Demons, 71-41, in a Sunday matinee at Jadwin Gymnasium.
Getting her first start of the season, Charles made the most of her opportunity.
Princeton women’s basketball rallies late to beat Rhode Island for fourth straight win
After recording historic wins last week, it was a good bet that either Princeton women’s basketball or Rhode Island would suffer a letdown in their following contest.
It ended up being both teams.
Princeton women’s basketball hits century mark, defeats Penn State in another comeback
Stop me if you’ve heard this before.

On Saturday afternoon, that’s exactly what the Tigers did. Again. Except this time, Princeton’s offense exploded to take down Penn State, 100-93, in the opening clash of the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas.
