SERIES HISTORY
Monday will be the 16th meeting in program history with Rhode Island. The Catamounts first ever matchup with the Rams was February 16, 1980. Last season URI defeated Vermont 61-58 on November 18. Meghan Oberg gave the Rams the final lead of the afternoon with a game-winning layup with 13 seconds left.

CATHY INGLESE PATCHES
Friday night the Catamounts debuted new jersey patches to honor our former Head Coach Cathy Inglese. Inglese was the head coach at Vermont for 7 seasons, from 1986 to 1993. She led UVM to unprecedented success with its first two conference titles, in 1992 and 1993, and its first two trips to the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship.

These patches will be worn at home and on the road this season to honor the memory of Coach Inglese who tragically passed away this summer. Cathy was also the head coach at Rhode Island from 2009-2014.
