Starting Lineup
Princeton is using the same starting line-up as in the American game, replacing Whitney Downs with Lauren Edwards. However, Downs is dressed and should see some minutes today. Also on the court is Addie Micir, Julia Berger and Cheryl Stevens.
We're here at the Smith Center for the final game of Princeton's weekend in D.C. The squad is warming up on the court but they will look a little different today. The Tigers will be sporting their third uniform - wearing all orange. They have their black shooting shirts on right now, but Tigerblog is anticipating the full-on orange look.
Yesterday the team spent the afternoon at the National Mall. Before being dropped off, we stopped at the White House and saw the National Monument, Capital Building, Lincoln Memorial, Watergate Hotel and the National Cathedral. At the mall, members of the team were able to check out the National History Museum - the dinosaur exhibit was the favorite for Carrie Moore, and TigerBlog personally enjoyed the gem/diamond exhibit. The team was able to check out the paintings by DaVinci, Monet, Picasso and Pollock at the National Art Museum. With 25 minutes remaining TigerBlog and crew raced to the national archives to sneak a peek at the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and other famous documents. Though brief, this was Coach Flores favorite stop. Some other groups visited the Holocaust Museum, American History Museum and the Air/Space Museum.
Returning to pick up the bus, we found out it had broken down not long after dropping the team off. We hailed three taxis to get back to the hotel - for a moment it felt like we were on the Amazing Race.
Almost every member of the team is taking flights out of D.C., to go home for the holidays. Every moment counts as they have to return for practice the day after Christmas.
Besides Tigerblog, you can follow the game by listening to Derek Jones call the action for free on the internet and check out the free live stats. Video is available for a fee.
