Women's Basketball: Micir, Edwards lead charge in Ivy wins

After a three-week layoff, normal basketball teams need some time to get back in a rhythm for their first game back. When their leading scorer gets shut out, normal teams struggle to score points. And when their starting point guard suffers an injury early in the second half, normal teams have trouble closing out games.But, as it has proven so many times this season, the women’s basketball team is anything but normal. The Tigers (15-2 overall, 3-0 Ivy League) came out firing in their first game since Jan. 9, cruising to a 75-44 victory over Brown (5-13, 2-2). Princeton capped off its first full weekend of league play by hosting Yale (7-11, 2-2) in the annual “Pink Zone” game, downing the Bulldogs 69-48 and extending its winning streak to 10 games.
