How It Happened
Six different Rhode Island women won individual events - including a pair of victories for freshman Molly Beckwith - but the Rams came up just short in a 155.5-144.5 loss to Vermont Saturday.

Beckwith won both the 100-yard butterfly and the 200-yard freestyle races for URI (3-6). The Rams also got wins from Rylee Kelly (500 freestyle), Logan Norrid (100 breaststroke), Julianna Tyler (200 butterfly), Emily Whiteneck (3-meter dive) and Olivia Winslow (1-meter dive).

However, Vermont (3-1) won both of the relay races. The Catamounts took first and third place in the 400-yard medley to outscore Rhody 13-4 in the event. Then in the meet's final event, the 200-yard freestyle relay, the Catamounts took first and URI placed second and third, giving Vermont an 11-6 points edge in the race. By outscoring URI 24-10 in the relay races, it allowed Vermont to escape Kingston with the win.
