Providence, R.I.—Senior guard Jayda Bing (Hamilton, N.J.) scored nine points in her season debut, while classmate guard Madison Medbury (Scituate, R.I.) poured in 25 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out six assists, as Rhode Island College took down Trinity, 67-64, at The Murray Center on Sunday afternoon.
 
THE BASICS
Rhode Island College 67, Trinity College 64
Rhode Island College (8-4)
Trinity College (10-3) 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
• The Anchorwomen picked up right where they left off in 2024 and raced out to a hot start in the first quarter to lead, 16-10, after 10 minutes.
 
• Trinity would see its first lead of the game come in the second frame, 23-21, but RIC would quickly regain the advantage and finish the first half ahead by six, 38-32.
 
• The Bantams would then apply pressure and find a groove in the third quarter, outscoring the Anchorwomen, 18-10, and would head into the last 10 minutes on top by a pair, 50-48.
 
• Bing knocked down a three with seven minutes left and freshman guard Shalyn Smith (Middletown, Conn.) cashed in a long trey with four minutes remaining to give the hosts a comfortable lead.
 
• After cutting the RIC lead down to two points, 66-64, in the final seconds, the Bantams turned the ball over by failing to hit the rim on a free throw. Medbury was fouled and sank a free throw and Trinity's half-court heave was off the mark at the buzzer.
 
• Senior forward Angelina Nardolillo (Hinsdale, N.H.) pitched in with 10 points and nine rebounds.
