Roger Williams Women's basketball experiencing many ups and downs

Since the start of the new year, the women's basketball team has been on somewhat of a roller coaster ride, filled with some impressive wins and some devastating losses.
On Jan. 2, the team hit the road to take on the Connecticut College Camels where they hoped to end their six game losing streak. The Hawks kept the score close throughout the first half and most of the second half before turnovers got the best of them.
In the end, the team did see all 10 players who got on the court score a point. Casey Anderson led the way, posting a double consisting of 12 points and 11 rebounds. The final score read 66-72 in favor of the Camels.
After dropping three straight games to Rhode Island College, Nichols College and Western New England College, the Hawks were determined to end their slide. The team traveled to Boston to take on the Wentworth Institute of Technology.
The game was close throughout both half's of play and remained that way late into the second half. With little time remaining, Jackie Criss drove into the lane for an attempted layup. The shot was just off the mark but was rebounded by Paige Congdon who was able to put the ball in for the score. It marked Congdon's eighth offensive board of the game and allowed the RWU to escape with the last second victory, 65-63.
After back-to-back TCCC victories on the road for the Hawks, the New England College Pilgrims traveled to Bristol. The Hawks began to get it going midway through the second half going on a dominating run against the competition. The score was 45-28 in favor of RWU going into the second half and the team never looked back. Babin once again played aggressive ball on both ends of the court putting up a career high 24 points and 14 boards. Criss finished with 19 and Anderson chalked up 12 on way to the team's third straight victory.
The streak ended for the team while on the road against Trinity College and continued with a home game against Endicott and a road contest with Colby Sawyer. The Hawks will next square off against Salve Regina at home on the 4th and then at the University of New England this Saturday.
