No. 25 Princeton women force 26 turnovers in a 97-47 rout of Dartmouth
HANOVER, N.H. (AP) --- Fadima Tall, Madison St. Rose and Emily Eadie each
scored 13 points to help No. 25 Princeton rout Dartmouth 97-47 on Friday night.
Princeton (22-3, 10-2 Ivy League) has won 19 of its last 21 games --- with both
losses coming against Columbia. The Tigers improved to 31-1 against the Big
Green since the 2009-10 season.
Princeton pulled away by outscoring Dartmouth 32-12 in the third quarter. Toby
Nweke and Grace O'Sullivan made back-to-back 3-pointers, and Skye Belker scored
on two straight possessions to cap Princeton's 25-4 third-quarter run for a
65-30 lead.
Princeton added a 13-2 run to begin the fourth for an 85-40 lead.
Belker and Nweke each scored 12 points and Taylor Charles had 10 points and 10
rebounds for Princeton, which did not have a double-digit scorer until the
fourth quarter. Nweke made five of Princeton's 20 steals. The Tigers shot 57%
from the field and outrebounded the Big Green 40-23.
Dartmouth (10-15, 1-11) was led by Zeynep Ozel and Jacalyn Myrthil with nine
points apiece. The Big Green turned it over 26 times and attempted 29 less
field goals than Princeton.
