PRINCETON — A strong second quarter and late defense helped the Princeton Tigresses pull out a 47-43 victory over the Hall Lady Red Devils Monday at Prouty Gymnasium.

The Tigresses outscored the Lady Devils 16-9 in the second quarter to take a 14-point lead into the half at 27-13. Junior center Zoe Mead scored eight of her game-high 20 points in the second quarter. 

“Zoe’s got tremendous potential,” said Princeton coach Kevin Hieronymus. “We got big things from her tonight, but I don’t think we’ve seen the best from her yet this season.”
