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.
