Spiders come back on senior night to defeat Dayton

By Andrew Prezioso | March 4, 2010

Richmond senior David Gonzalvez didn't even know what he just did. His 3-pointer with 5:36 left in the game gave the Spiders their first lead during the second half and propelled Richmond to a 60-56 victory over the University of Dayton on Thursday night at the Robins Center. "I wasn't sure [that Richmond had taken the lead] until they called a timeout and saw we were up one or two," Gonzalvez said. Gonzalvez, playing his last game at the Robins Center, sealed the comeback for the Spiders and gave them their first lead since a 13-12 lead during the first half.
