🔼 Got The Dub. In his first start of the season, Jason Roche had perhaps his best game in his three years with the Spiders, leading Richmond with 19 points as the team got a much-needed win over Maine on Wednesday night. DeLonnie Hunt added 15 points for Richmond, with 11 coming at the free throw line, and recorded all four of Richmond's steals. After being held to 25 points in the first half, Richmond totaled 45 points in the second half, which is the most in any half versus a DI opponent this season.

🔼 Remaining Perfect. Behind a combined 24 points from Anna Camden and Maggie Doogan, Richmond women's basketball posted an 82-47 win over visiting William & Mary on Thursday night inside the Robins Center. With the win, the Spiders move to 5-0 on the season and secured their 24th-straight home win dating back to the 2022-23 season.

🔼 Live and Let Dive. The Richmond women's swimming and diving team competed at the Patriot Invitational at George Mason today. After the first day of competition, the Spiders tallied 329 points. Highlighting the day was sophomore Melissa Nwakalor who set a new school and A-10 record.
