KINGSTON, R.I. -- On Friday, Nov. 6, Rhode Island will play the first of two preseason exhibition games when it hosts Concordia (Que.) at 7 p.m. at the Thomas M. Ryan Center.

The two teams have faced off in exhibition play in each of the last three seasons. Last year (Nov. 3, 2008), the Runnin' Rams took a 123-84 victory over the visiting Stingers.

This will be the third NCAA Division I team that head coach John Dore's squad will have faced in preseason play this season.. On Oct. 30, Bryant downed Concordia, 88-55, in Smithfield, while Vermont won, 92-46, on Nov. 1 in Burlington.

Concordia, a university located in Montreal, finished with a 12-4 record in the regular season last year. The team advanced to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) Final 8 last year, falling to Ottawa, 83-76, in the consolation finals.

Tickets for Friday's game are available at the Ryan Center box office, or visiting Ticketmaster.com.

Live stats will also be available via Gametracker on GoRhody.com.

Steve McDonald and head women's basketball coach Cathy Inglese will provide the live call on the Beltone New England Rams Radio Network on B101 - the new home of URI Basketball (WWBB 101.5 FM).
