Providence, R.I.-Junior forward Devin Hill (Danielson, CT) scored a game-high 20 points as the Rhode Island College women's basketball team fell, 62-55, against Little East Conference foe UMass Boston at The Murray Center on Saturday afternoon.

The Beacons (12-7, 5-4 LEC) responded with an 11-2 run, capped by a layup from junior forward Olivia Murphy (Canton, MA) with 10:51 left in the half. RIC cut the deficit down to one, 22-21, but UMB used a late surge to take a nine-point, 30-21, lead into halftime. The Beacons held a 14-2 points in the paint advantage in the half.

The first 7:57 of the second half saw the two teams trade baskets, with the Beacons holding on to a 10-point, 41-31, advantage. The Anchorwomen used a quick 8-0 run, capped with a layup from sophomore guard Jessica Patalano (Exeter, RI), to cut the Beacons' lead to two, 41-39, with 7:33 left in the half. The Anchorwomen pulled within one later in the half, but the Beacons used a dominant post game to secure the seven-point, 62-55 victory.

Hill led the Anchorwomen with 20 points, four rebounds and one block. Freshman guard Jess Korzec (West Brookfield, MA) tallied 11 points to go along with six assists and five steals, while Patalano scored eight points off the bench.
