RICHMOND, Va. – The Richmond field hockey team suffered a 3-2 loss in the squad's first overtime game this season to Delaware Friday evening at Crenshaw Field.
Richmond, now 8-5 on the season, returns to Crenshaw Field Sunday, Oct. 18 to face Old Dominion on Senior Day. The festivities honoring seven seniors will begin at 12:30 p.m. prior to the 1 p.m. start between the squads on ESPN+ and internationally via Atlantic10.com.

The Spiders got on the board first in the sixth minute of action when Reese Miller's quick hands redirected a high shot attempt by Clara Larripa past the Delaware goalkeeper for her first goal of the season.
Larripa tallied her 17th goal of the season in the tenth minute of the game on a one-timer from just inside the circle to the top corner. Larripa now has 39 points on the season with five helpers to go along with her 17 goals.
Richmond took a 2-0 lead into the break, holding the upper hand in shots, 12-3, and penalty corners, 4-2. Amanda Cimillo tallied three saves in the first half.

In the 62nd minute of action, Delaware got a tip-in for the game winner.
The squads finished even at 16-all on shots, and Delaware tallied a 10-6 penalty corner advantage. Cimillo finished with a season high nine saves while Elen Nicholls picked up a defensive save, her fifth of the season.
