So much for the adage that it’s hard to beat a team three times in the same season.

The No. 1-seeded Princeton women’s basketball team defeated No. 3 Harvard in the Ivy League Tournament final on Saturday night, 63-53, completing a three-game season sweep of the Crimson and earning the Ivy League’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

On Friday night, the Tigers vanquished Brown, also for a third time in 2026, in the opening semifinal of the Ivy League Tournament.

Although the Tigers led for 94% of the Saturday night’s championship game and never trailed after the first quarter, the win over Harvard didn’t come easily.

With a Harvard women’s basketball victory never in doubt for the better part of 35 minutes, there was still last-minute drama amongst the 1,147 tween-heavy Education Day fans at Lavietes Pavilion to see if the Crimson would hit the magic number of 67.

As the seconds ticked down, senior guard Saniyah Glenn-Bello cut across the lane, hit a contested underhand layup and sent the crowd, as well as the Harvard bench, into a frenzy to seal a dominant 67-33 victory over Stony Brook on Friday afternoon.

With her late bucket, the senior guard from Staten Island capped a stat-stuffing afternoon of 14 points, nine assists, seven rebounds and five blocks.
