The Rams are 9-7-1 and coming off a 7-7 tie against Bryant in the midweek. Rhode Island has played early non-conference series at ECU, Old Dominion, UMass Lowell and Charlotte.Â
 The Huskies are 2-2 against A-10 opponents this year with a loss against Davidson at Coastal Carolina and won a series at St. Joseph's on the road last weekend.
