Last season, Young lead the Spiders with a single season career-high 73 points via 32 goals and 41 assists and finished eighth in the nation in assists per game with 2.56. The Atlantic 10 Offensive Player of the Year put on a clinic in Richmond's 15-8 semifinals victory over UMass, tying a career-high eight points via five goals and four assists. He anchored the Spiders attack with two goals and an assist in the title game against High Point to help Richmond earn its fifth-trip to the NCAA tournament. Young is one of the nation's most consistent scorers, carrying a 41-game point streak into the 2024 season. He has recorded a point in 43 of 49 career games and is one of only a handful of active players with a 40+ game point streak.
Madonna earns All-American Honorable Mention status after scoring 29 goals and dishing out 17 assists en route to being named the Atlantic 10 Midfielder of the Year. Madonna lead the Spiders in game-winning goals with three last season and finished second on the team in points only behind Young.

He has recorded points in 33-of-40 career games.
