Princeton women’s basketball coach Carla Berube has accumulated so many talented players on her roster over the years that pundits have often wondered how Princeton’s bench would fare against another team’s starting lineup. They got their answer on Saturday at Jadwin Gymnasium as Berube started all five members of her senior class in a 71-42 Senior Night romp over Yale.

Seniors Parker Hill, Paige Morton, Katie Thiers, Adaora Nwokeji and Amelia Osgood made the most of their opportunity, scoring 42 of Princeton’s 71 points. Together, this quintet has contributed to 92 wins wearing the Orange and Black with several more games yet to come.

The seniors weren’t the only players to shine for Princeton. Overall, 12 different Tigers made their way into the scorebook, including Osgood, who tallied a game-high and career-high 13 points on 5-for-7 shooting.

“I’m just so thankful and happy,” Osgood told ESPN+ after being named the Player of the Game. “I absolutely love this team, and to be able to go out there and play with my fellow seniors and just have a great night, it was incredible.”

The Tigers once again got out to a fast start, as the senior starters sparked the home team to a 12-0 run to open the game. Nwokeji, playing for only the second time this season, opened the bidding with a drive and finish to the cup. The 5-foot-8 guard from Houston tallied a career high 10 points on 5-for-7 shooting.

The Bulldogs finally got on the scoreboard on their eighth possession of the game when Ciniya Moore drove around Thiers for a layup and the and-one bonus. Moore’s performance was a bright spot for Yale as the freshman guard scored a team-high 11 points for the Bulldogs.

Midway through the first quarter, Berube inserted her starters as Princeton continued to dominate the action. Ashley Chea stole the ball from Ke’iara Odume and took it coast to coast, finishing with a crossover layup to boost Princeton’s lead to 16-5 with just over two minutes to play in the first quarter. Chea finished with five points, all tallied in the first quarter, in only 17 minutes of playing time.

A jumper by Grace Thybulle capped the first quarter scoring as Princeton led 22-9 at the end of the first stanza. For the 11th time in their last 12 games, the Tigers held their opponent to single digits in a quarter.

In the second quarter, both teams struggled to shoot the ball. Another Thybulle jumper opened the scoring, but the Bulldogs couldn’t hit another bucket during a critical six-minute stretch.

Princeton wasn’t much better. The Tigers missed 10 of 12 shots in the second quarter, though they managed to stretch their lead to 33-16 at the end of the first half. Skye Belker and Osgood led the Tigers with six points apiece while Moore led all scorers with nine points.

In the third quarter, Berube once again started her seniors, and once again they delivered as Osgood continued to dazzle. The 5-foot-9 guard from Brentwood, Tenn. motored down main street for an easy layup to put the Tigers up 35-18. Moments later, she drained a trey to double up the Bulldogs, 42-21. Osgood then grabbed a defensive board and hit Paige Morton in stride with a long pass for a layup, forcing Yale coach and former Princeton assistant Dalila Eshe to call a timeout. Morton finished with eight points and a career-high eight rebounds.

After the stoppage, Thiers stepped in front of a pass by Abigail Long and took it the distance with a crossover finish to give the Tigers a 25-point lead. The game effectively was over.

In the fourth quarter, Berube continued to play her bench while Yale struggled to look for offense.

A Mackenzie Egger jumper with 5:31 to play brought the Bulldogs to within 24, but it was too little too late. Egger, the fourth-leading scorer in the Ivy League at 16.1 points per game, was largely held in check by Tiger defenders. The senior guard from Mount Pleasant, Mich. managed only seven points on a woeful 2-for-13 shooting performance.

The win provided Princeton (18-5, 9-1 Ivy) with its 30th straight victory at home, the second-longest home-court winning streak in the nation. It also set Princeton up for a dramatic clash with first-place Columbia next Saturday in the Tigers’ home finale at Jadwin Gym.

Yale (2-21, 1-9) will host Dartmouth next Saturday hoping to snap a six-game losing streak.
