First regatta is a success for team

By Rachael Bilney | October 6, 2011

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

By David Weissman | October 1, 2011

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.

Frogs, rainbows, amateurs

By Avery Shackelford | September 29, 2011

My first year playing youth soccer, my team's name was Rainbow Lightning. The name was born from a heated debate between the girls, who wanted to be the Rainbows, and the boys, who wanted to be the Lightning. I remember very little about those games, but photographs are proof that instead of attempting to make any contact with the ball, I lingered near the sidelines, twisting my curls around my fingers.

Mistakes finally prove costly in Richmond's 45-43 loss

By Andrew Prezioso | September 25, 2011

There was no apologizing after Duke just like there wasn't any after defeating Wagner. Nor was there any apologies given after Richmond hung on during the fourth quarter to defeat Virginia Military Institute. But Saturday's 45-43 loss against the University of New Hampshire, Richmond's season-long issues finally proved to be too much. The problems that hurt Richmond throughout the year -- interceptions, fumbles and a depleted defense -- all presented themselves.

By David Weissman | September 24, 2011

In the first Colonial Athletic Association conference game for each team, the University of New Hampshire defeated the Spiders, 45-43, Saturday night at Robins Stadium. The Wildcats outscored Richmond, 28-10, in the second quarter thanks mostly to Spider mistakes.

Late goal lifts Navy over Richmond, 2-1, in home opener

By Will Offit | September 21, 2011

In its first home game in three years, the University of Richmond men's soccer team got off to a fast start but failed to hold that lead as it dropped a 2-1 decision to the Naval Academy. The game was tied at one heading into the 89th minute when a ball that Richmond failed to clear sailed to Navy's substitute striker, David Jackson.
