For the first time in nearly a month, Princeton’s women played a basketball game at home. The Tigers made the most of their homecoming Wednesday, holding off the Rhode Island Rams, 66-54, in a game the Orange and Black led wire to wire.
The win snapped a two-game losing streak for Princeton and avenged a frustrating loss to the Rams a year ago in Kingston.
Another sluggish start finally got the best of No. 25 Princeton women’s basketball, which dropped a nail-biter to Rhode Island, 60-58, at the Ryan Center in Kingston, R.I. Sunday.
Coming off a thrilling, double-overtime win over Seton Hall on Wednesday night, the Tigers were due for a letdown against a Rhode Island squad that has dueled the Tigers intensely over the past three seasons.
