The victory set a URI program record by winning its seventh game before the end of November. (The previous high was six wins, when the Rams were 6-3 in 2013-14). The last time URI opened the season 7-0 was 1980-81 under coach Claude English, who led the Rams to a 21-8 record that year and a spot in the National Invitational Tournament.
