NORTON, Mass. - Curry College opened up the 2024-25 women's basketball season with a 62-57 loss to Wheaton College Thursday night at Emerson Gymnasium.

With the loss, the Colonels fall to an overall record of 0-1 to start the year.

After falling into a 9-0 deficit to start the game, the Colonels clawed their way back into the contest with an Emerson Cherry (Sturbridge, Mass.) three-pointer cutting the Wheaton lead to 33-31 heading into halftime.
