What's Next:
Rhody travels to Charlotte on Saturday for a 7 p.m. meeting with the 49ers. URI is 2-4 in the all-time series vs. Charlotte, picking up its last win - a 65-63 victory - on Feb. 24, 2008. Since then, Rhody has dropped four straight contests. The last time the teams met (Jan. 19, 2011), the Niners handed the Rams a 64-50 loss at the Ryan Center. In that game, Megan Shoniker (17) and Ajanae Boone (10) combined for 27 points while Caitlin Kearns grabbed a game-high nine rebounds. Over her 24+ years as a head coach, Cathy Inglese has turned in a 0-2 record against Charlotte, dropping both games against the 49ers since coming to Rhode Island.
