Spiders survive second-half surge, beat Keydets 34-19

By David Weissman | September 17, 2011

In a game influenced heavily by each teams' special teams units, the University of Richmond football team edged Virginia Military Institute, 34-19, thanks to a dominating first-half performance by the Spiders. The special teams unit for Richmond was a story of the "good" and the "bad." The "good" came in the first-half, beginning very early in the game.

9/11 reminds us why we love sports

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.

For NCAA, gratitude should be the attitude

By Scott Himelein | September 15, 2011

College athletes deserve to be paid for what they do. Sorry, I should be clear. When I say college athletes should be paid, I mean the money-generating big-men on campus also known as the basketball and football players. Sorry, cross country.

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.

Spiders pick up 3rd win in 4 games by defeating the Flames

By Rachael Bilney | September 11, 2011

The University of Richmond women's soccer team fought its way to a 1-0 win over Liberty University Sunday night at Robins Stadium to tally its third win in four games. Richmond had 28 shots against Liberty's seven, but physical play kept the team from capitalizing on more of those opportunities, head coach Peter Albright said. "The referee allowed physical play all night, which really disadvantaged us," Albright said.

By Andrew Prezioso | September 10, 2011

The scoreboard read 7-3 at the end of the first half in favor of the University of Richmond over Wagner College Saturday night, but the feeling of the game was very different from the score. Five first-half turnovers (three fumbles and two interceptions) prevented Richmond from capitalizing on its 229 yards of offense.

Dress Up. Dress down. It's football.

By Avery Shackelford | September 8, 2011

Richmond's first home football game of the season is Saturday. What do you plan on wearing? Will you dress up in pearls and a sundress or pinstripe shorts and Ray-bans? Or will you show your school spirit in a red and blue ensemble with a temporary spider tattoo emblazoned on your cheek? If you're like me, and grew up in the South, you'll probably wear something nicer to Saturday's football game than you've worn all school year.

In-Game Blog: Richmond at Duke

By David Weissman | September 3, 2011

The kick falls short and that gives the Spiders the victory, 23-21, their first over an FBS opponent since 2009, also Duke. With 5 seconds left, Duke looks to line up for a 60-yard field goal attempt. The punt rolls out of bounds at Duke's 37.
