Erik Travers rushed for 112 yards and one touchdown while quarterback Brendan Guerin passed for two scores. Not to be outdone, Mitchell Baxter recorded two interceptions while teammates Joe Fine and Dan Stock also found the end zone.

WOONSOCKET – A city woman and her mother were charged with felony domestic assault and battery after the younger woman allegedly slashed and stabbed her mother’s husband with a steak knife Tuesday night.
