Do you believe in miracles? How about two of them?
Trailing 63-56 late in the fourth quarter, the Princeton women’s basketball team scored seven points in 15 seconds to force George Mason into overtime.
Then, like Lazarus, the Tigers rallied from the grave in the extra stanza to pull out yet another road win, 71-69, on Saturday afternoon at EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, Va. It was the first ever meeting between the two programs.
The triumph, the ninth in a row for the No. 25 Tigers, may be the most memorable and improbable comeback in the storied history of Princeton women’s basketball.
