North Dartmouth, Mass.-Junior forward Devin Hill (Danielson, CT) scored a career-high 27 points to lead all scorers, but it wouldn't be enough as the Rhode Island College women's basketball team saw their four-game winning streak snapped with an 83-65 setback at Little East Conference foe UMass Dartmouth at the Tripp Athletic Center on Thursday evening.

The Corsairs (14-4, 7-1 LEC) opened a 9-2 lead just four minutes into the game when sophomore forward Megan Ronaghan (North Attleboro, MA) converted on a jumper. The Anchorwomen (6-12, 4-4 LEC) responded with a 9-4 run of their own, cutting the deficit down to two, 13-11, on a jumper from sophomore guard Jill Paladino (Arlington, MA) with 13:56 remaining in the half.

UMD responded quickly, outscoring RIC, 24-5, over the next 9:38 to take a commanding 37-16 lead with 4:50 left in the stanza. A late jumper by Hill cut the lead down to 13, 39-26, entering halftime.

RIC shot 36.4 percent in the half, while UMD converted on 45.9 percent of their shots from the floor in the stanza.

Hill started the second half quickly for the Anchorwomen and helped cut the deficit to six, 41-35, with 17:16 to play. Six points was as close as the Anchorwomen would come in the half with the Corsairs keeping RIC's transition game under control. A pair of free throws from UMD senior guard Kelsey Garrity (Sommerville, MA) ballooned the lead to 14, 74-60, with 2:20 left to play.
