UPDATED FAN ATTENDANCE POLICY FOR YALE COMMUNITY THROUGH FEB. 21

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's basketball team brings a five-game winning streak into a game vs. Princeton Friday (7:00 p.m., ESPN+, Live Stats) that figures to have a major impact on the top of the Ivy League standings.
 
Last Game
Six players scored at least six points and the Yale defense limited Dartmouth to a .276 field goal percentage as the Bulldogs beat the Big Green last Sunday. Yale (12-6, 5-1 Ivy League) swept the weekend, which also included a visit from Penn, en route to extending its winning streak to five games.
 
Streaky
Yale's five-game winning streak is the team's longest since winning eight in a row from Dec. 19, 2019 through Feb. 1, 2020.
 
Not a Bad Start for the First-Year Class
Yale's first-year class has combined for 21 starts this season – 17 by guard Christen McCann (Port St. Lucie, Fla.) and two each for guard/forward Mackenzie Egger (Mt. Pleasant, Mich.) and forward Grace Thybulle (Irvington, N.Y.). Only one other school in the Ivy League (Brown, with 30) has gotten more than 18 starts from its first years.
 
Home Sweet Home
Yale is 6-1 at home this season and 22-8 (.733) at John J. Lee Amphitheater since the start of the 2018-19 season. The Bulldogs have outscored their opponents by an average of 7.3 points per game at home. 
 
Logjam Atop the Ivy League Standings
Yale enters the weekend as one of three teams with five Ivy League wins. Columbia and Princeton are both 5-0, while Yale is 5-1. No other Ivy League school has more than three league wins.
