Columbia clinches important sweep of No. 24 Princeton

Perri Page scored 15 of her career-high 25 points after halftime to help Columbia complete a season sweep of No. 24 Princeton 70-56 on Friday in New York.

Page hit 9 of 14 shots from the floor and grabbed 10 rebounds, while Riley Weiss went for 23 points with four 3-pointers for the Lions (16-6, 7-2 Ivy), who now own the tiebreaker in the race for the Ivy League regular-season title.

Columbia trailed by 11 late in the first half but rallied thanks to a 22-10 third quarter. Mia Broom’s 3-pointer gave the Lions a 42-39 lead they wouldn’t relinquish.

Two of Princeton’s three losses this season have come at the hands of Columbia. Fadima Tall led the Tigers (19-3, 7-2) with 16 points and Olivia Hutcherson had 12 and seven boards.

Columbia outrebounded Princeton 43-25, led by Fliss Henderson’s 12 rebounds.
