RICHMOND, Va. – The University of Richmond field hockey team fell 1-0 to VCU Friday afternoon in the 2021 Atlantic 10 Championship semifinal at Cary Street Field.

VCU (8-0) broke through on a penalty corner play at the 2:22 mark of the game.
Freshmen Olivia DeCain (Bryn Mawr, Pa.) and Cori Nichols (Powhatan, Va.) both registered the Spiders two shots on goal, while juniors Addie Nash (Midlothian, Va.) and Steffie Bongers (Weert, The Netherlands) also tallied shots.
