PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Providence College women's basketball team defeated Northeastern, 50-45, on Nov. 18 at Alumni Hall in Providence, R.I. The game served as the backdrop for the program's annual Project Providence event and welcomed over 1,100 local elementary and middle school children for a field trip day. The Friars won for the third-straight game and improved to 3-1 on the season, while Northeastern dropped to 1-4.
1ST QUARTER:

• The Friars shot just 25-percent (5-20) in the first quarter, while Northeastern shot 31-percent (4-13).
2ND QUARTER:
• The first three minutes of the second quarter were scoreless until Sabou Gueye got loose on a fast break with 7:00 minutes on the clock (14-8).
• Providence outscored Northeastern 11-6 overall in the frame to take a 23-14 lead into the locker room at halftime.
• Gueye scored eight of the Friars' 23 points in the first half and collected a team-high six rebounds and two steals.
• Teneisia Brown also hauled in six first-half rebounds.
3RD QUARTER:
• The Friars started the third quarter on a 5-0 spurt to force a Northeastern timeout just 1:18 into the action (28-14).
