Rams and Spiders Play to a Scoreless Tie

Box Score

The Basics

  • Score: VCU 0, Richmond 0 (2OT) 
  • Records: VCU (6-4-4), UR (8-5-2) 
  • The Short Story: VCU had plenty of chances to put one in the net, but ultimately ended the night locked in a 0-0 tie with Richmond. 

 

How it Happened:

  • The biggest chance of the night came when the Spiders were awarded a penalty shot early in the second half, but it was rocketed off of the crossbar to keep the game scoreless. 
  • Each team ended the night with three shots on goal, but VCU did tally more total shots, 16-13. The Rams were the only team to record a shot on goal after regulation ended.
  • For goalkeeper Emma Kruse and her defense this was the seventh clean sheet of the season.

 

Quotable:

  • "Tonight was a well-matched game against a tough Richmond team. There was a ton of transition both ways and it provided for an exciting match. We created some great opportunities and just needed to do a better job with the final product. I thought our back four and Emma were very solid once again and deserved the clean sheet. We need to bring this same intensity and level of play to Sunday's game." –Head coach Lindsey Vanderspiegel.

 

Up Next:

  • Sunday afternoon, VCU will host Davidson for an afternoon game at 3:30 pm, and the Rams' home finale will take place on Saturday, October 25 against George Washington at 7 pm.
