Corp out for the year, Hicks to start at QB

By Andrew Prezioso | October 11, 2010

The latest injury to the University of Richmond football team may be the toughest for the team to overcome. Junior quarterback Aaron Corp, who transferred to Richmond in January from the University of Southern California, suffered a season-ending knee injury on the first series of last Saturday's 17-0 loss at the University of New Hampshire. The injury occurred when an offensive lineman rolled into Corp's knee. "This is a tough situation for Aaron and our team and we wish Aaron the best as he recovers," Richmond coach Latrell Scott said in a statement.

Natural High program keeps "the thrill" affordable

By Sarah Bowers | October 7, 2010

The University of Richmond's Weinstein Center for Recreation and Wellness is getting students off campus and into the great outdoors through Natural High. Tom Roberts, director of recreation and wellness, said Natural High began in 1992 as a grant from the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association to encourage universities to provide alternative activities to students during times when they might not participate in healthy activities, such as Friday nights or weekends. "Richmond is one of the few schools who still do "Natural High programs," Roberts said. The program is led by Kerry McClung, manager of sports clubs and outdoor adventure, and has already hosted a trip to Virginia Beach on Sept.

Work vs. play

By Amelia Vogler | October 6, 2010

This is not a column about school spirit. I know that the majority of Richmond students are proud to be Spiders, because if we weren't, then we would have transferred by now. We have some of the most architecturally beautiful buildings on campus, state-of-the-art facilities for academics and student life and, of course, plenty of schoolwork to keep us busy. But I thought that more people would have showed up for a gorgeous fall afternoon of football. I know midterms are upon us, and sometimes that comfy chair in Boatwright is hard to get out of (or, if you can leave the chair, it's only for a double-shot espresso mocha Frappuccino from 8:15). We, as students, are inundated with tons of papers to write, articles to read, films to watch, labs to test, paintings to paint, spreadsheets to compute and more. But don't you think you deserve a break from it all? A few hours spent absorbing some much-needed vitamin D from the sun and fresh air (if you spend too long in Boatwright, you forget what fresh air smells like because the fresh air in that little courtyard on B-1 is more nicotine-filled than oxygen-filled) can do the body and mind good.

Women's soccer gets back to basics before A-10s

By Kate MacDonnell | September 29, 2010

They start with a warm-up that includes jogging, high knees and stretching, and then they move on to foot drills and scrimmages, all in the blistering Virginia heat that has just begun to subside despite the official change of seasons. The women on the University of Richmond's soccer team have been working hard to prepare for their three coming Atlantic 10 conference games. "The heat makes practices harder," freshman forward Becca Wann said, "but you have to play in it so [you] get used to it." The team's 2-1 victory against the University of North Carolina -- Wilmington on Sept.

Q: When did you start playing soccer? A: I first started playing soccer probably at the age of seven. Q: What's your favorite thing about soccer?
