PRINCETON, N.J. -- The eight Ivy squads ring in the New Year by wrapping up the bulk of their non-conference play this week. Eleven total games are on this week's slate, beginning with Cornell at Binghamton on Monday. Should Boston College's No. 25 ranking hold up this week, Harvard's Thursday meeting with the Eagles will represent the Crimson's first game against a ranked opponent since Dec. 2, 2006, when it took on No. 16 Cal.
Meanwhile, Ivy action gets underway on Saturday as Penn and Princeton kick off the 2010-11 League schedule with a match-up in Jadwin Gym at 6 p.m.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Princeton's Lauren Edwards (Los Angeles) and
Harvard's Victoria Lippert (San Diego) each
tallied their first 20-plus point performance of the season,
earning a share of the Ivy League's Player of the Week honor.
Edwards, a junior forward, was Princeton's leading scorer on the
week as the Tigers went 2-0 on a road swing through North Carolina.
In a 71-63 win over Wake Forest of the ACC, Edwards led all scorers
with a season-high 21 points, shooting 6-for-13. She matched her
career-best of four three pointers in a game while adding three
rebounds, three assists, one block and one assist. In a 67-61 win
over Davidson, Edwards scored 11 points and seven rebounds. She
added three assists and a block and a steal. After holding a
15-point lead Davidson cut the Tiger lead to just four points. But
Edwards would step up hitting a jumper that sparked a 5-0 run to
regain a nine-point lead with 1:34 to play.

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Penn rookie Alyssa Baron (Miami, Fla) led the
Quakers to a pair of wins last week, earning her third Rookie of
the Week honor for the 2010-11 season.
Baron was the catalyst in Penn’s decisive win over St.
Francis (N.Y.) with a career-high 23 points in 32 minutes. Baron
had no turnovers in that time, while adding five rebounds, three
assists and two steals. Battling injury, Baron played sparingly in
the first half in the win at Lafayette. She limped her way to seven
points, including two key baskets in the win, while adding two
assists, three rebounds and a steal. She finished the week with
15.0 points per game, 4.0 rebounds per game and 2.5 assists per
game in just 32.0 minutes per game in leading Penn to its first
three-game winning streak in nearly two years.
