Besides Finley, who is swinging at a .311 clip with four round-trippers and 18 RBI, and Snyder, who is hitting .305 with one dinger and nine RBI, the Tigers are led at the plate by senior left fielder Wendy Bingham who carries a .296 batting average out of the two-spot.

In addition to the dominating duo of Finley and Snyder, who also sport ERAs of 1.84 and 2.07, respectively, Calli Varner (3-0, 2.57 ERA) can toss the ball effectively, as evidenced by the no-hitter she threw last Tuesday against Fairfield.

Princeton comes to Cambridge red-hot and battle tested, having won seven games in a row and having played a demanding schedule, to say the least. Of the Tigers’ first 14 opponents, only four have not been ranked in the USA Today/NFCA Top 25 at some point this year, and the Tigers have even beaten three top 25 teams.

Last season, Harvard swept the Tigers in New Jersey—handing Princeton two of its three Ivy losses—when the Tigers needed just one victory to claim its second straight conference title.

On the other hand, the Crimson dropped both games last year to Penn—granting the Quakers two of their three Ivy victories.

“It’s definitely possible to beat any team in the league, but you can also get beat by any team in the league,” Brotemarkle said. “On any given day, if you don’t play well, you can lose.”
