• Sophia Widmeyer (Dartmouth, Nova Scotia) sank a pair of free throws for the Friars at 7:54 to halt the run and give Providence its first points.
• Providence endured a scoring drought of nearly three minutes before Kyra Spiwak (Arlington Heights, Ill.) completed a traditional three-point play to make the score 29-19.
