The Rams would go on to take advantage of these opportunities eight more times before the clock ran out. Defense was also key, keeping the Bruins off the scoreboard until late in the fourth quarter.
“We played well defensively,” Curran said. “But we still need to focus on our transition game. We haven’t had much time outside to practice yet.”
