How it Happened
Tali O'Leary scored just moments into the match and Rhode Island made the goal stand in a 1-0 win over Davidson Sunday afternoon.

The Rams went on the attack right off the opening kick, creating a scrum in the Davidson box. O'Leary got the ball on her left foot and lifted a shot over keeper Mary Grace Bunch for the quick lead. Brooke Cavino assisted on the tally.

From there, Rhode Island controlled tempo throughout the match. The Rams allowed just one shot on goal by Davidson, and only three total shots.
