01/23/2023
The good times continue to roll for the Community College of Rhode Island women’s basketball team, which started a new win streak Saturday with an 88-50 home win over UConn Avery Point and remained No. 4 in the most recent NJCAA Division III national poll for the fifth consecutive week.
At 16-2, the Knights boast the third-best win percentage (.889) among the nation’s ranked teams, trailing only No. 1 Rochester, No. 3 Minnesota West, and No. 5 Fulton-Montgomery. CCRI has won back-to-back games since a January 17 loss to D-II Union that snapped its season-best 10-game win streak.
Against UConn, four Knights reached double figures, led by sophomore guard Michelle Moreno (Providence, RI), who recorded a triple-double with 12 points, 11 rebounds, and 14 assists.
Sophomore guard Elizabeth Bruno (Providence, RI) continued her phenomenal 2022-23 season with a team-high 28 points on 10-of-13 shooting from the field, including a remarkable 8-of-9 from three-point range. Sophomore center Maggie Schwab (Narragansett, RI) connected on 11-of-15 shots and finished with 23 points and 10 rebounds for another double-double and sophomore guard Chloe Rayko (Coventry, RI) added 19 points.
The Knights have the week off before beginning a four-game road trip Saturday at 1 pm against Southern Maine Community College.
