🔼 Forever Known. With a 7-2 start on the season, our women’s basketball team has been ranked No. 41 in the initial NET rankings. This is the highest ranking in the Atlantic 10 Conference. The Spiders are in the top 50, along with two other A-10 schools. If this isn’t an incentive for you to come out to the women’s games, then I don’t know what is. Speaking of, make sure to come out on Sunday to Robins Center to watch them take on Appalachian State at 2 p.m. 🏀 Read more about the ranking here.

🔼 Season Premiere. From football to basketball, just like that. It’s time to switch up the seasons on Behind the Web. Men’s basketball head coach Chris Mooney made his debut appearance along with grad student guard Jordan King on Monday’s Behind the Web. If you missed it live at World of Beer, here’s a recording. Make sure to tune in every Monday from 6-7 p.m.

🔼 Dream Come True. Cole Kissick played lacrosse at Richmond from 2016-2019 and has returned to the school, bringing new talent. Kissick, his brother Jake, and Todd Anderson founded Dream Recovery, which improves athletes' recovery time and overall well-being through the science of sleep. The team spoke to student-athletes, coaches, and athletics department staff about the product. 💤 Read about the product here.
