Nov 16, 2024
HAMDEN, Conn. — The Princeton women’s basketball not only the game, but may have lost its best player.
Madison St. Rose suffered a non-contact left leg injury in the fourth quarter as the Tigers were trying to rally in what ended up a 74-66 setback against Quinnipiac on Saturday afternoon.
St. Rose was helped back to the locker room by an athletic trainer and head coach Carla Berube and did not return, although she did come back out to the bench with crutches.
The Old Bridge native was averaging a team-best 19.3 points through the first three games. She was a Second Team All-Ivy selection last year after she posted 14.8 points per game.
Gal Raviv scored 21 points and Caranda Perera netted 17 for Quinnipiac (3-0), which has victories over both of the Ivy League favorites Princeton and Harvard.
Skye Belker led the Tigers (2-2) with 15 points and Ashley Chea scored 14.

Yale 42, Princeton 28
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Grant Jordan threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and Josh Pitsenberger had three touchdowns to lead Yale to a win over Princeton.
In the oldest rivalry in the Ivy League and second oldest in the nation, the Bulldogs scored the last 21 points to win the 146th game between the two teams.
Pitsenberger, who ran for a career-high 159 yards, scored his second touchdown on a 4-yard run midway through the third quarter to tie the game at 28. After Princeton botched a punt, Jordan capped a three-play, 13-yard drive with a 2-yard run to break the tie. Then came the backbreaker, a 90-yard drive capped by Jordan’s 31-yard pass to Chase Nenad.
Jordan finished was 13-of-16 passing for 140 yards, including a 5-yard scoring pass to Pitsenberger.
The defense also contributed a touchdown when Inumidun Ayo-Durojaiye forced a fumble that Ejiroghene Egodogbare took 13 yards to the end zone.
Although Yale (6-3, 3-3) is technically still in the hunt for a league title, it is one of the rare occurrences in the last decade the game didn’t have major championship implications.
Ethan Clark ran for 79 yards and two touchdowns for the Tigers (2-7, 1-5) and John Volker ran for another score. Blaine Hipa threw for 267 yards and a touchdown to AJ Barber, who had seven catches for 108 yards.
