Penn's Mataya Gayle was brilliant, showing why she was the Ivy League’s rookie of the year. But the overall talent of a Princeton team that's been nationally ranked this season was simply too much.
With just under a minute to go in the first quarter, Penn held an eight-point lead, and that caused a stir.The contest went down to the final seconds, but in the end, Princeton did just enough to hold on for a 59-54 win. “I don’t feel like I’d played them at my best yet,” Gayle said. “I feel like coming in today, I had something to prove to them and to myself. … I felt like I was really locked in today, and I wanted to compete as hard as I could.”
“Both teams fought really hard, but this loss hurts, so it’s one we won’t forget,” Gayle said. “I think it’s something that’s going to stick with us going into next season.”
