Last Time We Met
The last matchup was in the Ivy championship in New Yok City on May 5, 2019, falling to Princeton 13-9.

Then-junior Gabby Rosenzweig netted two goals with four assists to lead the offense, while Katy Junior commanded the defense with three caused turnovers. Then-sophomore
Abby Bosco set the Penn single-season record in ground balls in the game, scooping four to bring her total to 51 for the year. The Quakers earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, falling to Georgetown in the first round at Syracuse in double overtime, 13-12.
