The University of Rhode Island women’s basketball The University of Rhode Island women’s basketball team is headed back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in three decades after capturing its first Atlantic 10 tournament championship. Top-seeded Rhode Island (28-4) edged second-seeded George Mason 53-51 Sunday at the Henrico Sports & Events Center in Virginia, completing a historic run through the conference tournament. The title comes after the Rams secured their second Atlantic 10 regular-season championship in four years, but Sunday marked the program’s first-ever A-10 tournament crown, earning the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. URI opened tournament play in the quarterfinals March 6 against No. 8 Loyola Chicago, which advanced after defeating No. 9 St. Bonaventure 61-59. The NCAA appearance will be Rhode Island’s first since the 1995-96 season, when the Rams went 21-8 before falling to Oklahoma State 90-82 in the opening round. Head coach Tammi Reiss continues to lead the program’s resurgence. Earlier this season she became URI’s all-time winningest coach and the fastest in program history to reach 100 victories. Reiss was also named Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year for the third time and is a finalist for the Naismith Women’s College Coach of the Year award. Freshman Vanessa Harris was named Atlantic 10 Sixth Woman of the Year. Rhode Island also made program history in the conference’s postseason awards, earning recognition in every category — including First Team, Second Team, Third Team, Defensive Team, Rookie Team and Academic Team. The Rams will learn their NCAA Tournament matchup during the 2026 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Selection Show, airing March 15 at 8 p.m. on ESPN. #uri #rhodeisland #newportbuzz
Long before Newport became famous for its Gilded A Long before Newport became famous for its Gilded Age mansions and sailing culture, the City-by-the-Sea was already making history. For more than three centuries, Newport has been the site of remarkable American milestones — from early civic laws and religious landmarks to major sporting events and technological breakthroughs. Among the earliest was 1657, when Newport operated what is believed to be the first ferry service in the United States, connecting communities across Narragansett Bay. Just a few decades later, in 1673, the White Horse Tavern was built. Today it remains the oldest tavern building in continuous use in America. Newport also helped shape civic life early on. In 1687, the city passed what historians consider the nation’s first traffic ordinance, regulating horse-drawn carts in the busy colonial port. Religious freedom also left its mark on Newport. The Quaker Meeting House, built in 1699, is Rhode Island’s oldest house of worship, while Touro Synagogue, completed in 1759, is the oldest synagogue in the United States. The city was also home to the Redwood Library & Athenaeum, established in 1745 and recognized as the oldest circulating library in continuous use in the United States. Newport played a role in the nation’s path to independence as well. On May 4, 1776, Rhode Island’s legislature meeting in Newport became the first of the thirteen colonies to declare independence from Britain. The city continued breaking ground in the centuries that followed. Newport Country Club hosted the first U.S. Open in golf in 1895, while Newport hosted the first U.S. National Lawn Tennis Championships in 1881. Newport also staged the nation’s first automobile race in 1895, and in 1904 recorded the first automobile arrest, when a driver was cited for speeding at 15 miles per hour. From 1930 to 1983, Newport hosted the America’s Cup, turning the city into the center of the sailing world for more than half a century. 👉 Want to see the full list of Newport’s historic “firsts”?
