LAST TIME OUT

Behind a 15-0 second-half run, Rhode Island took a 60-53 victory over Davidson, Wednesday evening.

After an Ines Garcia Monje gave Davidson its largest lead, 41-36, with 3:43 to play in the third, the Rams responded with 15 unanswered to go back in front for good.

The 'Cats would hold Rhody without a field goal the closing 4:16 to play but the deficit was too much to overcome.

Despite the setback, Kyra Bruyndoncx paced Davidson with 17 points.

Katie Donovan scored a team-high 12 points, while Tomisin Adenupe scored nine and Sienna Dauer and Charlise Dunn added eight apiece.

The Rams are coming off a 63-60 win over George Washington last Wednesday.
