Tiger Takeaways from No. 22 Princeton women’s basketball dismantling Dartmouth

by

There’s no place like home.

Playing in the friendly confines of Jadwin Gymnasium for the first time in 2026, the No. 22 Princeton women’s basketball team (15-1, 3-0 Ivy) raced past the Dartmouth Big Green, 69-41, to remain unbeaten in Ivy play Saturday.

Taking the court with a depleted roster, the Tigers led wire-to-wire for the second straight game and were never seriously challenged by the Big Green.

Princeton was led by its junior tandem of guards, Ashley Chea and Skye Belker. Chea led all scorers with 16 points on 5-for-13 shooting, while Belker chipped in 14 points, two rebounds, two assists and three steals.

Though the Tigers didn’t paint a masterpiece today, they nevertheless prevailed for the 16th straight time over Dartmouth at Jadwin, a streak that dates all the way back to the 2008-09 season.

Here are three Tiger Takeaways from Princeton’s 13th consecutive win, their longest winning streak since the 2023-24 season:

Quakeaways from Penn men’s basketball’s loss at Princeton

by

PRINCETON, N.J. — The faces on the court and the sideline were new, but in the end, the result for Penn was the same in its Ivy League opener: a crushing loss to Princeton.

Penn has only beaten its biggest rivals five times since Barack Obama was elected president in 2008. It’s a streak of futility that has now spanned four different head coaching regimes.

The Quakers (7-7, 0-1 Ivy), over the past few years, have developed a habit of finding new and unique ways to lose to Princeton (5-11, 1-0). They’ve squandered big leads, been blown out of the water and lost heartbreakers in the final seconds. Monday night had a little bit of everything.

Penn built a 14-point lead in the first half, saw it all wash away thanks to a stretch of atrocious defense and then mounted a furious rally to get one last shot to win the game. The Tigers could only exhale after point guard AJ Levine’s contested three at the buzzer hit back iron, which sealed a 78-76 win.

What did Quakers fans learn from another excruciating trip to Jadwin Gymnasium?

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.
