WENHAM, Mass. – The Roger Williams University Women's Basketball team utilized a balanced attack to defeat Gordon 67-40, Wednesday night at the Bennett Center. 

Eleven different players scored for the Hawks, who moved to 11-3 and a league-leading 4-0 in The Commonwealth Coast Conference.  Gordon slipped to 2-14 and is 1-3 in league play.
