PROVIDENCE, R.I.– The Providence College women's basketball team fell to Northeastern, 65-59, on Dec. 15 in Providence, R.I. The Friars dropped to 5-4 with the loss, while the Huskies remain unbeaten at 9-0 on the season.
Northeastern led by as many as 15 points in the fourth quarter (57-42) with 7:28 remaining on the clock. The Friars went on a 17-4 run to get within two (61-59) with 1:19 left in the game, but the Huskies held on down the stretch with a 4-4 performance at the free-throw line.
Providence's Chanell Williams (Bronx, N.Y.) scored 10 of her team-high 20 points during the fourth-quarter run. She finished the day 9-15 from the field and added two rebounds, one assist and a career-high five steals.
