Rhode Island hosts Maine-Fort Kent on Friday in its season finale, with a win giving the Rams their first eight-win season since 2021. The Bengals arrive on a six-game unbeaten streak, setting up a matchup between Rhody’s strong attack and a confident UMFK side.

By the Numbers
  • Rhode Island: 7-9-0 overall, 5-3-0 in conference play.
  • Maine-Fort Kent: 8-4-1 overall.
  • Rhody ranks third in the Atlantic 10 with 27 goals and leads the conference with 80 saves through 16 games.
  • UMFK’s Rohane Brown and Michael German each have 8 goals and 5 assists.
Yes, But

Rhode Island has scored 27 goals, but it has also allowed 26—the A-10’s third-highest total. UMFK competes in the USCAA, not the NCAA, and is the only USCAA school Rhody has faced in program history.

State of Play
  • UMFK has won two straight and is unbeaten in six games since Sept. 19.
  • The Bengals are fifth in USCAA Division I; the top six teams advance to championship pool play.
  • The teams last met in 2023, when Rhode Island won 8-1.
What's Next

The season ends Friday, Oct. 30, at 7 p.m. at the URI Soccer Complex in Kingston. The match will stream on ESPN+.

Bottom Line

Rhody has a milestone within reach, but it must contain an unbeaten opponent while tightening a defense that has been among the conference’s most vulnerable.
