PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Strong second and third quarters propelled the Johnson & Wales University women's basketball team to victory on Tuesday. The Wildcats won their home opener, 68-53, against Curry.

Of Note:

 A pair of Emily Irwin free throws got the Colonels within 26-19 at the 2:04 mark of the second quarter, but the Wildcats ended the half on an 8-3 run to take a 34-22 margin into the locker room. The lead would never dip below 10 the rest of the game and grew to as many as 24 (68-44) on a Raquel Pederzani (Coventry, RI) layup.
Good ball movement by the Wildcats led to several wide-open shots and a 43.5-to-27.0 field goal percentage advantage. JWU was a perfect 10-for-10 at the free throw line and had a 45-41 rebounding margin.
