PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College field hockey team defeated Bryant, 1-0, on Sunday, Sept. 4 at Lennon Family Field in Providence, R.I. Senior Adrienne Houle (Burlington, Ontario) netted the game-winning goal in the 64th minute to lift the Friars to victory.

The Friars sustained offensive pressure with seven offensive corners in the second half. Houle notched her third goal of the season at the 63:41 minute mark for the lone goal of the game – and eventual game winner. After an offensive corner opportunity, Houle tipped in the ball assisted by senior Emily Humiston (Pittsburgh, Pa.), who fed Houle the ball from across the goal mouth.
