KINGSTON, R.I. –
Sarah Fisher scored her eighth goal of the season, but the Saint Joseph's University women's soccer team fell, 4-1, to the Rhode Island Rams on Saturday afternoon.

URI got on the board with a pair of quick goals, scoring in the second and 20th minutes. In the 27th minute, the Hawks were awarded a free kick. Fisher stepped up from outside of the 18 and drilled a shot the clipped that underside of the crossbar and into the back of the net, cutting the lead to 2-1.
The Rams tallied one more goal just before the half and also found the back of the net five minutes into the second stanza to close the scoring.
