Daily News | St. Joseph’s women’s basketball upsets Rhode Island in Atlantic 10 tournament
St. Joe's celebrates after defeating Rhode Island 51-48 in the Atlantic 10 women's basketball tournament quarterfinals.The St. Joseph’s women’s basketball season survives another day as the Hawks upset Rhode Island, 51-48, in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic 10 tournament at the Chase Fieldhouse in Wilmington, Del.
After missing every three-pointer in the first half, seventh-seed St. Joe’s knocked down four in the third quarter, out-scoring the two-seed Rams 20-8 in the period. In the fourth quarter, St. Joe’s barely hung on, allowing Rhode Island to claw back into the game, but clutch free throws and staunch defense at the end of the game gave Hawks the victory.
Thankfully for St. Joe’s, Rhode Island wasn’t scoring from deep, either. The Rams only made two three pointers in the first half. “Our motto for this week is that we bend but don’t break,” said Brugler. “We were bending a bit at the start of the fourth quarter, but we knew we had to come out strong and finish what we started.”Rhode Island opened up the fourth quarter on a five-minute, 9-3 run, nearly erasing the St. Joe’s lead.
