Women's College Basketball: Penn women drop Dartmouth

Senior Renee Busch came off the bench and matched a career high with five three-pointers Saturday night to lead the Penn women to a 63-46 win over Dartmouth at the Palestra.

Penn has won five in a row and eight of its last nine games to improve to 16-7 overall and 7-2 in the Ivy League. The win also marked the Quakers' first season sweep of Dartmouth (11-13, 2-8) and Harvard since 2001, and a school record third consecutive home sweep of those Ivy rivals. Busch led all scorers with 17 points.

Princeton 78, Harvard 57 - Blake Dietrick had 23 points, eight assists and five rebounds as the No. 16 Tigers beat the visiting Crimson to remain the only undefeated team in women's Division I basketball.

Annie Tarakchian added 17 points and 14 rebounds for the Tigers (25-0, 9-0 Ivy League), who moved to within one win of the program record for most in a season (26 in 2009-10).

After Harvard (10-14, 3-7) scored the first four points of the second half to pull within five, Princeton answered with a 12-4 run.

St. Joseph's 61, Richmond 59 - Cardinal O'Hara graduate Natasha Cloud scored the go-ahead layup, and Ashley Robinson (Archbishop Wood) grabbed a rebound in the final seconds to lift the Hawks (10-16, 6-8 Atlantic 10) to a conference win over the visiting Spiders (16-11, 8-6) at Hagan Arena.

Richmond had one last chance off a missed St. Joe's free throw, but Cloud intercepted the inbounds pass. She scored a team-high 17 points, while Robinson pulled down a team-high nine rebounds.

Eastern 73, DeSales 61 - After beating the Bulldogs (14-11, 8-6 Freedom Conference) in Center Valley, Pa., the Eagles (21-4, 13-1) will host DeSales in the conference tournament on Wednesday.
