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

By Andrew Prezioso | September 25, 2011

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.

The good, the bad and the brutal of Richmond's season so far

By Andrew Prezioso | September 18, 2011

The first part of the season is done and Richmond has gone 3-0. Although the record is pristine, three quarters, two key injuries and one major problem have put a damper on the team's future.

By Avery Shackelford | September 15, 2011

At nearly every sporting event leading up to the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, fans were asked to bow their heads for a moment of silence to reflect on the victims and the heroes who died, and for the thousands of Americans who lost loved ones that day. I too have spent much of this week in reflection. New York City seemed eons away from my fourth grade classroom the day of the attacks.

New program keeps students in stands

By Rachael Bilney | September 15, 2011

At last weekend's home football game the athletic department kicked off the fourth quarter frenzy, a new program designed to keep students in the stands for the entire game. The fourth quarter frenzy is run by the athletic department, but each week a different student organization will sponsor a game and offer prizes for attending students, said Jana Ross, assistant director of athletic marketing and fan development. The Richmond Rowdies were the first organization to sponsor the event and one student won a colored nook, said Sarah Huang, president of the Richmond Rowdies. Unifying Events will sponsor this weekend's coming game against VMI and one student will win four tickets to the family weekend football game, Ross said.
