Earlier this season, URI fell to Brown, 66-54, in Providence. In that game, Emilie Cloutier scored a career-high 17 points and the Rams combined for a season-best 18 makes from the foul line but committed 25 turnovers which led to nearly half (30) of the Bears' 66 points. Over her 24+ years as a head coach, Cathy Inglese has compiled a 4-1 record against Brown, going 1-0 at Vermont, 1-0 at Boston College and 2-1 at URI.
