UMass at PC: Young Friars growing into their roles

PROVIDENCE — With one more game before an eight-day exam break, Ed Cooley is hoping for the best in Friday’s game against the Minutemen from the University of Massachusetts.

The game will be the third in seven days for the Providence Friars. After wins over Rhode Island and Boston College, Cooley just wants to see his team play well one more time before taking a well-deserved break.

“It’s a tough stretch, a busy stretch,” Cooley said. “We had to get these games in before our exam period began but it’s been busy. With a young team, it’s a challenge to get ready for these games.
