AARON ROUSSELL ERA OPENS 1-0
Roussell earned his first win as a Spider with a 70-62 road win at UNCG on Nov. 5, 2019. Roussell became the 11th coach in school history to win their coaching debut with the Spiders. Roussell earned his 313th career win as a coach. Other Richmond coaches who won their debuts include Franny Crenshaw (1919), Michael Shafer (2005), Bob Foley (1996), Bill Hotchkiss (1980) and Joanne Boyle (2002) to name a few.
SPIDERS TAKE CARE OF THE BALL & ACTIVE DEFENSIVELY
Richmond won the turnover battle in its season opener on the road at UNCG, only committing 12 turnovers and forced 24 from their opponents.
