The Wildcats trailed, 1-0, after RIC senior midfielder Nic Rossi (North Kingstown, RI) netted his first goal of the season in the 16^th minute. The Wildcats regrouped at the intermission and pressured the Anchormen for the entire second half. JWU outshot RIC, 14-7, in the second frame and, 18-16, in the game.
