ST. LOUIS, MO – The Richmond field hockey team collected a 2-0 road victory over Saint Louis Friday afternoon in Atlantic 10 Conference action at the SLU Field Hockey Complex.
Richmond, with the program's fifth shutout of the season, moves to 8-4 on the year and 3-1 in A10 play. The Spiders jump out of A10 action when the squad returns to Crenshaw Field to host Delaware Friday, Oct. 16 at 5 PM on ESPN+ and internationally via Atlantic10.com.
After a scoreless first 15 minutes of action, Richmond got on the board in the 17th minute. The Spiders defense caused a pressure turnover just outside of the attacking third of the field. Clara Larripa drove the ball into the circle and put it in front of the goal for Valen Luna Paratore to redirect into the net for the score. Luna Paratore now has 16 points on the season with four goals and eight assists, while Larripa moves to 36 points on 16 goals and four assists.
The Spiders took 10-0 shots and 5-0 penalty corner advantage into the half. SLU got a shot in the third and fourth quarters, but none on frame, while UR added 12 more to finish with 22 shots and 12 total penalty corners.
In the 39th minute of action Maia Dechiario's first shot on a penalty corner play was blocked. She regained possession and fired it low past the SLU defense and goalkeeper to extend Richmond's lead. Dechiario now has four goals on the season.
