LAST MEETING BETWEEN PROVIDENCE AND QUINNIPIAC... The Providence College women's basketball team fell to Quinnipiac, 62-36, on Dec. 6 at TD Bank Sports Center in Hamden, Conn. The Friars, who entered the game shooting 46-percent from the field and were ranked second in the nation in three-point percentage (46-percent), were never able to get it going on the offensive end.

Providence called a timeout to advance the ball to mid-court and draw up a final play.
