PROVIDENCE, R.I.– The Providence College women's basketball team defeated Hartford, 71-54, on March 21 in the first round of the Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) in Providence, R.I.

The Friars hit their first six shots from the field to take a 15-2 lead with 5:55 remaining on the clock in the first quarter. Hartford fought back to within five (20-15) to close the opening 10 minutes of play, and scored the first five points of the second quarter to tie the game, 20-20.
Chanell Williams (Bronx, N.Y.) halted the run with a free throw, but Hartford scored five-straight points to take a 25-21 lead at the 6:27 mark. Jovana Nogic (Belgrade, Serbia) answered for the Friars with her fourth three-pointer of the game to get PC within one (25-24). Providence regained the lead (29-27) at 4:42 and held on for a two-point advantage at halftime, 34-32.
Nogic scored 17 points in the opening 20 minutes of action on 6-7 shooting from the field, including a 5-6 performance from beyond the arc. Sierra DaCosta and Lindsey Abed each scored eight points for Hartford. The Hawks were able to take advantage of 15 Providence miscues by recording a 17-8 advantage in points off of turnovers.
