In response to SteveDanley
The women's team had a tough 70-55 loss to Princeton on Saturday. Bella Alarie was dominant with 18 points, 12 rebounds and 8 blocks. Penn's bigs did a good job on her in the first half, but could not stop her in the second.
In the first half, the Tigers, who normally do not put up threes like Penn, Brown or Yale, hit 6 of 12. Backup guard Gabrielle Rush scored 14 points in the first half, including 4 three pointers.
Eleah Parker had a good game, going for 14 points and 7 rebounds. She kept them in the game in the first half, getting 10 points and 6 rebounds, but got shut down in the second when Alarie took control of the game.
Michell Nwokedi did a solid job offensively in the first half, getting 6 points on 43% shooting. However, she only managed 3 points on 13% shooting in the second half. She did managed to get 10 rebounds on the day.
The Quakers struggled from 3. They did went 6 for 20 from 3. They did get three in a row, but it wasn't until midway through the 4th quarter and by that point the Tigers had taken control of the game.
Princeton's first-year guard Carlie Littlefield sacrificed her offense to cover Anna Ross. Ross did score 11 points, but she went 3-10 and had to work really hard to get her buckets.
Penn did get 17 offensive rebounds, but the shots just wouldn't fall. For the game, they shot just 33%.
With lower rated Cornell and Columbia coming to the Palestra this weekend, the Quakers should be able to get back on track.
