Rhode Island Hosts Brown on Wednesday Evening

KINGSTON, R.I. - On Wednesday night, Rhode Island looks to win its third consecutive match, at home, when they host Brown in a non-conference game set to begin at 7 p.m.

The Rams (5-3-1) are coming off a 5-0 shutout against Iona last Friday evening at the URI Soccer Complex. Seniors Alexis Veith and Stephanie Santos scored one and two goals, respectively, to give Rhody a 3-0 advantage going into the half. Veith then scored her second of the season in the 75th minute and freshman Samantha Beck nabbed her first collegiate goal in the 89th to finish off the win.

Brown enters the game with a 5-2-1 overall record. The Bears started the season going 3-0, blanking Liberty 1-0 on Sept. 2, beating Coastal Carolina 3-1 on Sept. 4 and again earning a shutout, 2-0, against Providence on Sept. 7. But since then the Bears have earned one tie and two wins and two losses, falling in back-to-back games to Sacred Heart, 3-2 on Sept. 18 and to Massachusetts 1-0 OT on Sept. 22.

Rhode Island and Brown have met 23 times, with URI's all-time record against the Bears standing at 7-15-1.

In Rhode Island's last meeting with Brown on Oct. 13, 2010, the Bears took a 3-0 home win, with all goals scored in the second half on Rhody goalkeeper Brooke Messier.

Fans unable to attend the game can follow the action live, via Gametracker. Live video streaming will also be available (weather permitting) through GoRhodyTV.
