Season-To-Date Recap
The Spiders evened their record (1-1) with Sunday's 2-1 victory against West Virginia. Richmond dropped its season opener, 1-0, against ninth-ranked Clemson when the Tigers drove home their game-winner with just 26 seconds remaining in regulation on Friday evening.
From The Coach
"Paul started in great form," head coach Jeff Gettler said. "He is on fire, much like his hair. He knocked the free kick in the corner with pace, probably his best since he has been here. It was a pressure shot with not much time remaining."
