The 2024 portion of the season is officially in the books, and week one of conference play is also in the books! Rhode Island’s Sophie Phillips broke the program’s record for the most three-pointers made by a Ram and then started to push the record passed 200 three-pointers made. Davidson stunned Duquesne on the road, meanwhile, Saint Joseph’s, Massachusetts, Richmond, Loyola Chicago, and Rhode Island all kept the wins with their home arena. We have a great slate of games this upcoming week, including matchups within the top of the conference. George Mason hosts Saint Joseph’s and VCU hosts Duquesne for some of the big games to watch.
