LAST TIME OUT
The University of Richmond women's basketball team lost their Atlantic 10 opener against Rhode Island, 66-60, on Jan. 5. The Spiders fell to 3-10, 0-1 after holding a nine-point lead with six minutes left. Junior Jaide Hinds-Clarke secured her third double-double of the season with 12 points and 13 rebounds. Sophomore Alex Parson had 11 points. Freshmen Aniyah Carpenter and Molly Mraz finished with nine points apiece and each hit three three-pointers.
Rhode Island used a late run sparked by Nicole Jorgensen who led the team with 26 points and eight rebounds. Jorgensen was 9-for-11 from the field and went a perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line.
Richmond had won three-straight games against Rhode Island and had a chance to tie the game with 20 seconds left but Parson missed the game-tying three-pointer.
HINDS-CLARKE WITH BACK-TO-BACK DOUBLE-DOUBLES
Junior forward Jaide Hinds-Clarke came away with a her second-straight double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds against Rhode Island. Hinds-Clarke grabbed a game-high six offensive rebounds and now has three double-doubles on the season against Maryland Eastern Shore, UNCG and Rhode Island. She is averaging 6.0 rebounds per game and is 13th in the A-10 in rebounds per game. Hinds-Clarke is third in the A-10 in offensive rebounds per game at 2.9.
