Richmond drops conference opener to Maine

By Jack Nicholson | September 30, 2013

Following University of Richmond's 30-21 loss to Maine (4-1) on Saturday, head coach Danny Rocco said at that time, he did not have a good football team. Richmond, which was ranked in the top 15 to start the season and was picked to finish fourth in the CAA, is now 2-3 and 0-1 in conference play. "Most of my kids [fought], but not all of them did," Rocco said. Richmond had a chance to tie the game late in the fourth quarter, but quarterback Michael Strauss threw his third second-half interception in the end zone with 21 seconds remaining to seal the game. "[Strauss] has such confidence in his ability to make a play that he will force a couple of things," Rocco said.

Robins Center renovations expected to improve fan experience

By Zak Kerr | September 18, 2013

After several weeks of practice on the courts in the Weinstein Center for Recreation and Wellness, the men's and women's basketball teams are less than two weeks away from returning to the Robins Center, perhaps as soon as the start of next week. But instead of returning to the familiar videoless scoreboard, original lighting and bulky risers between the court and stands, the players will get the first glimpse at the long-awaited renovations to the Robins Center interior, perhaps even before all of the renovations are complete. One major aspect is the technological upgrade from floor to ceiling.
