Last Time Out
It was a game that fit the tense rivalry between the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton in recent years, but the Quakers put together a clutch performance down the stretch and defeated the Tigers, 62-57, on Saturday, Jan. 7 at Jadwin Gym.

With the victory, Penn notched their third-straight win over Princeton in as many games as the Quakers began their Ivy title defense on the right footing. Junior Beth Brzozowski was a sniper from downtown in the final ticks, hitting all nine of her points in the final 6:26 of action to carry the Red and Blue for the come-from-behind win.

Michelle Nwokedi led the way for the Quakers with 13 points and 13 rebounds for her sixth double-double of the season, while Sydney Stipanovich (10pts, 4rbs) and Anna Ross (11pts, 1reb, 4a) each put up double digits on the snowy day in New Jersey. Kasey Chambers also provided seven points, three boards and a career-high eight assists while the Quakers shot 40.7% (24-of-59) from the field in the victory.

Up Next
Following Saturday's contest, the Quakers return to their Big 5 slate to host Villanova on Wednesday, Jan. 18th and Temple on Wednesday, Jan. 25th, both at home at The Palestra.
