LAST MEETING VS. RHODE ISLAND
This will be the 23rd all-time meeting between the two teams with Richmond holding a 19-3 record and has won three-straight meetings. In the previous meeting, the Spiders opened up A-10 action with a road win at Rhode Island, 74-53, on Dec. 31, 2017. Richmond won every quarter and got 21 points from former Spider Micaela Parson. Kailyn Fee added 15 points off the bench after hitting five three-pointers. The Spiders also won both meetings in the 2016-17 season.

The University of Richmond women's basketball team defeated UNCG, 59-48, on Jan. 2 to improve to 3-10 on the season.
