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:
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.
In that season, Carla Berube’s first at the helm of the Orange and Black, a dominant Princeton team led by superstar Bella Alarie won 11 of its 12 nonconference games, defeating Penn State and Seton Hall, while falling only to a powerful Iowa team on the road in overtime.
Olivia Hutcherson’s 19-point second half lifts Princeton women’s basketball past Belmont
You never know who’s going to come up big for the Princeton women’s basketball team this season.
On Saturday afternoon in the Music City, it was Olivia Hutcherson.
Another fourth-quarter rally lifts Princeton women’s basketball past Seton Hall
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.
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.
Playing against a power-conference opponent, the Princeton women’s basketball team fell behind early, trailed by four at half, then rallied in the second half to grind out a big win.
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.
Princeton women’s basketball mounts another fourth-quarter rally to defeat Rice in home opener
Another game, another fourth-quarter comeback.
So it goes this season for the Princeton women’s basketball team, which rallied again in the fourth quarter to win its home opener over Rice, 69-56, at Jadwin Gymnasium.
In the first ever meeting between the two programs, the Tigers once again made things difficult for themselves by missing shots early and often.
After Madison St. Rose tallied a layup to open the scoring for Princeton, a series of six missed shots and two turnovers resulted in eight consecutive empty possessions for the Tigers, a near-replay of Princeton’s first-quarter performance at Maryland on Sunday.
Princeton women’s basketball falls back to Earth, loses at No. 9 Maryland
After taking down two power-conference opponents on the road to open the season, the Princeton women’s basketball team finally met its match at Maryland, falling to the No. 9 Terps, 84-68, at the XFINITY Center in College Park, Md. Sunday.
