RICHMOND, Va. – The University of Richmond women's basketball team will host the University of Massachusetts on Sunday, Feb. 3, at Noon inside the Robins Center. The Spiders are riding a two-game winning streak and hope to keep it going against the Minutewomen.
SPIDERS START A-10 WINNING STREAK AT LA SALLE
The Spiders picked up their first road win of the season at La Salle and have won two-straight Atlantic 10 games to improve to 2-5 in conference. Richmond has a chance to move up the standings with a win against UMass on Feb. 3. Richmond set season highs in points (74), assists (20), steals (16) and field goal percentage (47.5).
CARPENTER HITTING HER STRIDE IN A-10 PLAY
Freshman guard Aniyah Carpenter has scored in double-figures four times in seven Atlantic 10 conference games. Carpenter finished with 12 points at Duquesne (Jan. 19) and tied her career-high with 14 points against VCU on Jan. 12. Carpenter is averaging 10.6 points per game during conference play and is shooting 38.6 percent from the field (27-for-70). Carpenter also has hit a three-point in six of seven conference games shooting 40.7 percent from deep off 11-for-27.
HINDS-CLARKE DOUBLE-DOUBLE MACHINE
Junior Jaide Hinds-Clarke posted her second-straight double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds against La Salle. Hinds-Clarke now has five double-doubles on the season. She has six career double-doubles and is 9th in the Atlantic 10 in rebounds per game at 6.7 per game. In her seven A-10 games, Hinds-Clarke is third with 63 total rebounds. She is tied for first in offensive rebounds with 23.
RUFFIN HAS BREAKOUT GAME AT LA SALLE
Graduate student Daijia Ruffin earned a start at La Salle and had her best game as a Spider with 20 points and went 8-for-16 from the field. Ruffin played a huge part in snapping Richmond's eight-game road losing streak coming away with five steals and grabbed five rebounds in the victory.
