The Spiders got off to a slow start only scoring 11 points in two quarters. Junior Jaide Hinds-Clarke finished with 10 points off the bench. Freshman Molly Mraz scored a career-high nine points, all scored in the fourth quarter, off three triples. Junior Amy Duggan pulled down a career-high 14 rebounds, including 12 on the defensive end.
Richmond played a much better second half scoring 19 points in the third quarter and 18 in the fourth. The Spiders only shot 24 percent (6-for-25) from the three-point line.
Richmond did shoot a solid 76.9 percent from the free throw line off 10-for-13.
TWO-STRAIGHT HOME WINS
The Spiders have won their last two home games defeating Maryland Eastern Shore 57-55 on Nov. 14 and a comeback win against Howard 67-60 on Dec. 8. Richmond scored a season-high 67 points against the Bison and rallied behind a strong fourth quarter outscoring Howard 25-13, including a 9-0 run to end the game.
DUGGAN GRABS CAREER-HIGH 14 REBOUNDS
Junior forward Amy Duggan pulled down a career-high 14 rebounds in a road loss at Quinnipiac on Dec. 19. Duggan leads the team in rebounding at 5.6 boards per game. Her 14 rebounds against Quinnipiac was the most since a 12-rebound effort at Columbia last season. This was her second double-digit rebound effort after grabbing 10 rebounds against Maryland Eastern Shore on Nov. 14.
MRAZ ADDS SPARK IN FOURTH QUARTER AT QUINNIPIAC
Freshman Molly Mraz scored a career-high nine points, all in the fourth quarter, in a road loss at Quinnipiac. Mraz finished the game 3-for-4 from the three-point line, including back-to-back triples in the fourth quarter.
