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.

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.

So far, the Princeton women’s basketball team’s dream season has unfolded, well, like a dream.

The Tigers have opened up the 2025-26 campaign with two big road wins over power-conference opponents, both in exhilarating fashion. In each game, the Tigers trailed for a majority of the contest only to have the lights suddenly come on in the final stanza.
