Richmond gets 2OT goal to defeat St. Joe's, 3-2

The script was the same, just the roles reversed for the University of Richmond men's soccer team Sunday as it won in double-overtime, 3-2, against Saint Joseph's University at Robins Stadium. After suffering a pair of one-goal defeats at home this year -- with both deciding goals coming in the final two minutes of the game -- it was Richmond this time that scored in dramatic fashion to tie and then win the game. Freshman Sean Baker scored in the 108th minute on a series that left many players confused.

The fallacy of fall break

Suddenly it's North Face jacket-wearing weather and midterms are upon us. I hit the snooze button on my alarm at least three times this morning, in an attempt to avoid the prospect of class and the 60-degree temperature outside. But wait -- it's almost fall break: a five-day weekend I plan to spend lazing about my house and eating homemade desserts.

Title Town turned travesty

First regatta is a success for team

Five boats from the University of Richmond club crew team competed in its first regatta of the season last Saturday at the College of William and Mary's inaugural 5-kilometer "Chick Chase" and one Richmond boat placed first. William and Mary hosted the race on the Chickahominy River which featured Richmond, James Madison University, Old Dominion University and Liberty University. Low temperatures and high winds made for a difficult day on the water, said Catesby Sanders, club president.

Spiders suffer second-straight loss, fall 31-7 to JMU

HARRISONBURG, Va.-- The Richmond offense generated a season-low 118 total net yards, and the University of Richmond lost its second-straight game to a conference opponent, 31-7, to James Madison University. The game, played Saturday afternoon at Bridgeforth Stadium, served as the Dukes' Homecoming game, and the home team likely pleased the sell-out crowd. Richmond quarterback Aaron Corp was sacked seven times, and the offense as a whole was only able to pick up eight first downs. "We didn't execute well enough especially on the offensive side of the ball to win the game," Richmond interim coach Wayne Lineburg said. On defense, after shutting out the Dukes through the first quarter, the Spiders allowed almost 300 yards rushing despite JMU's star tailback, Dae'Quan Scott, suffering shoulder injury early in the second quarter. "To cut off their running attack, we just needed to execute the schemes a little better," Richmond linebacker Darius McMillan said.
