Inside the Box Score:

• With the loss, Rhode Island drops to 1-14 while Brown improves to 9-4. The 1-14 start marks Rhody's slowest start to a season since 1999-2000 when the team opened with 16 consecutive losses.
• URI shot 33.3% on the night, netting 16-of-48 attempts from the field and just one of 12 from long range. Brown, meanwhile, connected at a 40.8% (20-49) clip and was 6-of-19 from the perimeter.
• The Bears held a 36-28 rebounding advantage, and finished with an 8-6 edge in steals.
• 17 of URI's 40 points were scored by non-starters while Brown recorded just four bench points. Rhody's non-starters have now combined for double-digit point totals in 12 games this season.
• Brown took its largest lead of the game (20 points) after a basket by Daniels made the score 25-5 with 6:25 remaining in the first half. However, Rhody went on to hold the Bears scoreless throughout the remainder of the period – and nearly four minutes into the second frame – to cut the led to just three (25-22) with 16:20 left on the clock.
• The 17-0 run was URI's largest of the season. The push spanned 10:05 (6:25 in the first half, 3:40 in the second half), which is also the longest the Rams have kept an opponent off the board this season.
• Coia led Rhody's non-starters with 10 points, marking the fifth time this season she scored in double figures.
• Straumann came off the bench to set new career-highs in minutes (37), rebounds (3), assists (2) and steals (3).
• Lewis earned her first career start for URI. The Rams have now used seven different starting lineups this season.
• Daniels (14) and Clarke (13) led the Bears in scoring. Clarke also pulled down a team-high seven rebounds while Sheila Dixon led Brown in assists (4), steals (3) and blocks (1).
