PISCATAWAY, N.J. (Interstat) — The undefeated Rhode Island Rams will put their high-powered offense to the test on the road against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in a nonconference women’s basketball matchup Thursday.

The Rams (3-0) are averaging 81.7 points per game and are coming off a dominant 105-49 victory over Emmanuel on Monday. Palmire Mbu led the charge with 24 points and seven rebounds, while Brooklyn Gray nearly recorded a triple-double with nine points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.

Rhode Island’s defense has been equally stout, holding its first three opponents to an average of 44.3 points.

Rutgers (2-1) looks to rebound after a 71-54 home loss to Stony Brook on Sunday. Nene Ndiaye scored 16 points in the defeat. The Scarlet Knights opened the season with convincing wins over Wagner and Quinnipiac before the setback.

The game at the Louis Brown Athletic Center pits Rhode Island’s perfect start against a Rutgers team seeking to reestablish its home-court advantage. The Rams have yet to play a true road game this season, with their only game outside of Kingston being a neutral-site win over Manhattan.
