📈 STOCK UP

🔼 One Dub. The Spiders won their first game in the Atlantic 10 Tournament 12-4 against George Washington. The team had an eight-run second inning to get in the lead. Jack Arcamone hit a solo home run. Phil Bernstein brought in three runs, while Aaron Whitley, Jaffe Jordan and Zach Lass all had 2 RBIs. The Spiders advance to play game two against No. 1 Saint Louis today at 11 a.m.

🔼 Saving our Planet. Going to a basketball game means watching great players, eating yummy food and spending time with Spider fans. But did you know that it can also mean practicing waste reduction? Richmond’s Rethink Waste team placed first in the nationwide Campus Race to Zero Waste Competition after diverting 98% of waste to recycling or compost facilities at the men’s basketball game on March 6.
