Coventry has no answer for the long limbs of Abby McKanna, and offense from Maggie Salomone and Chelsea Sahagian.
PROVIDENCE – Another game, and another strong run by Narragansett in the second half, led to a second-straight Division II title game berth for the Mariners. The second-seeded Mariners played even with No. 11 Coventry for about a half, but pulled away as the second half started for a 59-42 win Wednesday night in the Division II girls’ basketball playoffs at the Murray Center on the Rhode Island College campus. “The first five minutes of both halves are crucial,” Narragansett head coach Kathryn Mahoney said. “They turn on that high pressure.” Narragansett received balancing scoring from its starting five – Maggie Salomone, Abby McKanna, Chelsea Sahagian, Hannah Maymon and Ali Castrovillari.

The Crusaders use clutch free throws from Maddie Hagerty to topple another favored team, the Moses Brown Quakers, 34-28.
PROVIDENCE – It was a brutal game to watch at times, but the No. 8 Prout Crusaders were the victors in a gritty 34-28 win Wednesday night against No. 4 Moses Brown in the Division II playoffs at Rhode Island College’s Murray Center. Maddie Hagerty was the lone player on either team to score in double figures, finishing with 10 points.

Prior to the free throws, Moses Brown took a timeout, which Hagerty said allowed her to regain her composure. “I was actually really nervous, I was shaking on the sidelines,” she said. “I was definitely able to breathe and compose myself, and calm down.” With little …
