Richmond Hosts La Salle On Senior Day
02/23/2019 | Women's Basketball
RICHMOND, Va. – The University of Richmond women's basketball team will host a familiar foe in La Salle on Sunday, Feb. 24, at 2 p.m. inside the Robins Center.
The Spiders will be honoring their graduate student Daijia Ruffin (Louisville, Ky.) and will have an alumni celebration for the 100th season of Richmond women's basketball against the Explorers.
CLAIRE HOLT SCORES CAREER-HIGH 18 POINTS
Freshman guard Claire Holt finished with a career-high 18 points in a loss against George Mason on Feb. 21. Holt went 6-for-9 from the three-point line, just two shy of tying the school record. Holt's previous career-high was 13 points against Virginia Tech. Holt made her first four three-pointers in the first half against George Mason.
LAST MEETING VS. LA SALLE
This will be the 28th meeting between the two teams with Richmond winning the last three meetings, including a 74-60 road win at La Salle on Jan. 26. The Spiders turned a two-point lead after two quarters into a 16-point route outscoring the Explorers 24-10 in the third quarter. Daija Ruffin scored a career-high 20 points and Richmond hit 10 three-pointers in the 14-point win. Jaide Hinds-Clarke chipped in with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Alex Parson added 14 points in the win.
THE RACE TOWARDS THE NO. 8 SEED
The Spiders are 4-9 in the Atlantic 10 after 12 conference games. Richmond has three games remaining against league opponents but are hoping to host a first-round A-10 Tournament game at the Robins Center (top-eight seeds host). Last season, the Spiders finished 8-8 and finished in eighth place. Richmond still has games against UMass and George Washington

JAIDE HINDS-CLARKE AWARDED GINNY DOYLE SCHOLARSHIP
The Ginny Doyle Scholarship was established in memory of Virginia T. Doyle, W'92, through the generosity of her family, friends, and colleagues to be awarded to a Women's Basketball student-athlete with Ginny-like qualities. Ginny Doyle led the Spiders to the Colonial Athletic Association championship and NCAA appearance in 1991. Ginny was
inducted into the University of Richmond Athletics Hall of Fame posthumously, following her sudden passing in May 2014. Jaide not only shares the position Ginny played but is one of the last Spider recruits to have ties with Ginny during her time as an assistant coach.
