04/17/2024 | Women's Soccer
RICHMOND, Va. – The University of Richmond women's soccer team completed its 2024 spring slate, including 20 hours a week of training and five competitions with other NCAA programs throughout the season.
"The spring always provides a great balance of opportunity and challenges, while giving our coaching staff flexibility within the five competition games," Denton said about the spring season. "We have been really pleased with everyone on the team and have shown great application of skills in our practice and games. We are looking forward to a productive summer and excited for the fall season. A highlight of our spring calendar was our end-of-season team banquet for our 2023-24 team on April 6 and our alumnae game on April 7. It was great to have our Spiders past, present and future all together as part of the Richmond Family."
