RIC gives UMD a losing streak

Mass-Dartmouth went from unbeaten to losing streak in the span of four days after a home loss Tuesday night to Rhode Island College.

The No. 5 Corsairs, who lost in front of a packed house Saturday afternoon at Keene State, were outscored 13-5 down the stretch as the Anchormen won 79-72.

“We didn't play well, their defense forced us into turnovers that we don't usually make,” said Mass-Dartmouth coach Brian Baptiste. “We had more turnovers than we have had in any game all season. When we had chances to make plays on offense, we didn't make them, which is uncharacteristic of us.” Full story
