What's Next:
After playing back-to-back road games at Richmond (Tuesday) and Charlotte (Saturday), Rhody returns to the Ryan Center for a Wednesday night meeting with the Duquesne. URI is 19-23 in the all-time series vs. the Dukes, picking up its last win - a 74-57 victory - on Jan. 12, 2007. Since then, Rhody has dropped four straight contests. The last time the teams met (Feb. 26, 2011), the Duquesne handed Rhody an 88-49 loss in Pittsburgh. In that game, Megan Shoniker led all players with 22 points while Lara Gaspar led the Rams on the glass with six rebounds. As a team, Rhody finished 27.1-percent from the field (16-of-59) while the Dukes shot 47.8-percent (32-of-67). Duquesne also won the battle of the boards, 48-34, and scored 40 bench points compared to URI's six. Over her 24+ years as a head coach, Cathy Inglese has turned in a 0-2 record against Duquesne, dropping both games against the Dukes since coming to Rhode Island.
