Defeated or Undefeated

Princeton Women's Basketball Perfect 

When dealing with women in the sports world, they tend to be overshadowed by their counterparts in that of men's sports. For the longest, women have been trying to preach their importance in what they have to offer to the sports world. As an example of this struggle, you can look at the Princeton women's basketball team.

Most people unless they followed the team intensively wouldn't know that they finished a perfect regular season, winning 30 games by large margins in each outing.Princeton in conference play, won its first half of their games by an average margin of points..but they haven't been all over Sports Center headlines like Kentucky men's basketball team.

On Tuesday, they beat UPENN 55-42 to clinch the IVY Championship. To make matters more interesting, Princeton isn't the only unbeaten women's basketball team that will take part in the NCAA Tournament. After clinching their Ivy League Championship and punching their ticket to the tourney, Princeton became the 15th unbeaten team in.

In a world already consisting of male dominance, many feel sports should be a platform that unites our society instead of adding to the division.
