Princeton University women's basketball coach Carla Berube has been named the 2026 Kathy Delaney-Smith Mid-Major Coach of the Year, following a season in which her team achieved a 26-4 record. The Tigers not only secured the Ivy League regular season championship but also triumphed in the Ivy League Tournament, defeating Harvard to clinch their seventh consecutive NCAA Tournament berth. Under Berube's leadership, Princeton has established itself as a dominant force in the Ivy League, winning five titles in six seasons and earning a remarkable 77-7 record against Ivy opponents during her tenure. This season, the coaching staff also received the Ivy League Coaching Staff of the Year award, and five players earned All-Ivy honors, highlighting the depth of talent on the squad.
In wrestling, four members of the Princeton Tigers have been named NWCA Scholar All-Americans, recognizing their academic excellence alongside their athletic achievements.

Martino, a freshman, made a notable debut at the NCAA Championships, securing his first NCAA victory. Whalen, who finished as the Ivy League Runner-Up at 165 pounds, also performed well at nationals, earning a major decision. Rivera received All-Ivy Honorable Mention recognition, marking a successful season for the Tigers both on the mat and in the classroom.
Meanwhile, the men's golf team traveled to Nashville for the Mason Rudolph Tournament hosted by Vanderbilt, competing from April 3 to April 5. The Tigers, ranked No. 89 nationally, faced a challenging field that included several top-ranked teams and individual players. Last year, Princeton finished 12th out of 14 teams in this tournament, and they aimed to improve upon that performance against a competitive lineup, which included defending champions Auburn, ranked No. 1 in the nation. The Tigers' lineup featured Reed Greyserman and Tommy Frist among others, as they sought to make a mark in this prestigious event.
