LAST GAME
Trailing by 10 points with 4:02 remaining, the Pirates closed the game with a 14-3 run, and a pair of free-throws by Savannah Catalon (Mansfield, Texas) with 19 seconds left gave them an improbable 69-68 victory at Cincinnati on Monday.
The swarming Pirates defense forced eight Cincinnati turnovers in the final four minutes and Catalon scored seven of her season-high 20 points in the final run.
Catalon had 20 points, including a pair of three-pointers, her second of which cut The Hall's deficit to one possession with 1:41 left to play. She was also 10-for-10 from the free-throw line. Graduate student Faith Masonius (Spring Lake, N.J.) had a game-high 21 points on 8-for-14 shooting and also had team-highs of five rebounds and four steals.

SCOUTING PRINCETON
Princeton is coming off a 25-5 season a year ago, which included a 13-1 mark in Ivy League play. The Tigers rolled to their fifth-straight Ivy League Tournament championship with a 75-58 victory over Columbia last year. Their season came to an end with a first-round loss to West Virginia in the NCAA Tournament.
Kaitlyn Chen was named a unanimous First Team All-League selection last year, while Ellie Mitchell was named Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year and Second Team All-Ivy. Madison St. Rose earned Second Team All-Ivy honors.
This year, the Tigers were again picked to repeat as Ivy League champions according to the preseason coaches' poll. While Chen and Mitchell graduated, St. Rose returns to anchor a new-look Princeton squad.
Princeton enters Thursday's contest with a 2-2 record which includes victories over BIG EAST foes DePaul and Villanova. Most recently, the Tigers fell at Quinnipiac, 74-66, on Saturday. St. Rose currently leads the team with 17.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. In all, three Tigers are averaging in double-figures in scoring.
