KINGSTON, R.I. - The Providence College field hockey team defeated in-state rival Rhode Island, 3-1, on Wednesday, October 6 during a non-conference tilt in Kingston, R.I. Sophomore Melissa McGow (Branford, Conn.) led the Friars with two goals. Providence, who has won two-straight games, improves to 6-7 overall with the victory. The Rams drop to 3-8 overall on the season.
McGow gave the Friars an early 1-0 lead with an unassisted goal at the 16:21 mark of the first half. Neither team was able to score the remainder of the first half, as Providence took its 1-0 advantage into halftime.
In the second half, URI struck first to tie the game, 1-1. Jen Centenich came off the bench for the Rams to score the goal, while Nanci Records was credited with the assist. The Friars would answer with two more goals to close out the game. Sophomore Emily Ewens (Vancouver, B.C.) scored her second goal of the season, and just the second of her career, to give PC a 2-1 lead with 21:57 remaining on the clock. Ewens tallied the goal off an assist from sophomore Lauren Sickel (Plaistow, N.H.) during a penalty corner. Ewens' goal proved to be the eventual game-winner.

McGow leads the Friars in scoring this season with 20 points on five goals and 10 assists. She has reached the 20-point plateau in each of her first two seasons with the Providence field hockey program.
