RAMS DROP ROAD CONTEST AT RICHMOND

Final Score: Richmond 4, VCU 1
Location: Richmond, Va.
Records: VCU 8-9 (4-2 A10), Richmond 10-6 (4-1 A10)
 
The Short Story: VCU trailed Richmond 2-0 midway through the third quarter before Mackenzie White scored to get the Rams within 2-1. VCU surrendered back-to-back goals in the fourth as the Spiders pulled away

QUICK FACTS:
  • Emma Clements for the third time tied a season-high with 13 saves in goal. It also marked the second straight contest she has recorded 13 saves
  • Mackenzie White scored for VCU and had a team-high two shots on goal
  • Hannah Zimmerman recorded the assist on White's goal
  • Richmond had four different goal scorers in the contest. The Spiders outshot VCU 23-6 overall and 17-4 in shots on goal
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • VCU was unable to record a shot attempt in the first half but Clements made eight saves and the Rams trailed just 1-0 at the break after a goal in the 23rd minute
  • The Spiders pushed their lead to 2-0 in the 44th minute on a goal from Abril Peroni
  • White got the Rams back within 2-1 after she took a pass from Zimmerman on the wing and beat the Richmond goalkeeper in the 49th minute
  • Two minutes later, Richmond scored two goals in less than a minute to push its lead to the final 4-1 margin
UP NEXT:
VCU returns home as it hosts the A10 Betterment Championship at Cary Street Field on Thursday, Nov. 5. The Rams will face the Spiders at 2 p.m. and the game will be streamed on ESPN+
