BRISTOL, R.I. – The Curry College Women’s Basketball team dropped a 72-54 decision at Roger Williams Tuesday evening in Commonwealth Coast Conference action. The win moves the Hawks to 6-6 overall and 2-3 in the conference. The Colonels (6-5) drop their third-straight contest overall and fall to 2-2 in the CCC.

Kaitlyn Bovee (Berlin, Conn.) notched her third double-double of the season for Roger Williams, going for 15 points with 11 rebounds. Alexandria Lanieri (Port Jefferson, N.Y.) added five points and a game-high 13 rebounds.

Fallon began the game with a layup for Curry before Bovee knocked down a trey for the Hawks. With the score tied at five, a pair of Kilzi free throws gave the Hawks a lead that they would not give up over the course of the contest. Curry kept the game close over most of the first half, but the Hawks used an 8-1 run to take a double-digit lead, making a 16-13 game into a 24-14 lead with 6:52 left in the half. RWU would ultimately go into the break up 34-23.

Curry made a push early on in the second half, jumping out of the break on a 13-6 run, capped off by a three-point play by Beltz. The free throw would pull the Colonels within four (36-40) with 12:29 to play. However, the Hawks stormed out on a 12-1 run to go on top by 16 and put the game out of Curry’s reach. The Colonels never came closer than 14 as the Hawks held on for the win.
