HOW IT HAPPENED
• The Anchorwomen kicked the game off with a three-pointer by fifth-year forward Izabelle Booth (Newport, R.I.), but the two teams would hang with each other as Trinity held a two-point, 11-9, lead after the first quarter.
 
• RIC would take control in the second quarter, going on a 17-5 run over eight minutes, to go into the locker room up by five, 26-21.
 
• In the third, the Anchorwomen would score just nine points across five minutes of game clock, all of which came on a trio of Medbury three-pointers. Strong defense from RIC would help the visitors hold a three-point, 41-38, advantage going into the fourth quarter.
 
• Medbury would hit two more deep shots in the first minute of the fourth quarter as the Bantams hung within a possession for the majority of the final frame. Fifth-year guard Olivia Middleton (Barrington, R.I.) sank a pair of free throws with 21 seconds remaining to secure the win.
 
• Middleton finished with 11 points and four boards.
