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.
