Richmond at William & Mary
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (Interstat) — Two in-state rivals coming off lopsided results will meet Wednesday when the Richmond Spiders visit the William & Mary Tribe in a nonconference women’s basketball game at Kaplan Arena.
Both teams enter with 1-1 records. Richmond is looking to rebound from an 85-56 road loss to Texas last Friday. Despite the defeat, Maggie Doogan led the Spiders with 22 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Richmond opened its season with an 83-49 home victory over Mount Saint Mary’s.
William & Mary is also seeking consistency after splitting its first two contests. The Tribe defeated Barton 81-62 on Sunday, led by Cassidy Geddes’ 16 points. That win came after a 71-50 road loss to Davidson in their season opener.
The matchup will feature a battle in the paint, with Richmond’s Doogan and William & Mary’s Natalie Fox, who had 11 points and seven rebounds against Barton, as key frontcourt players to watch.
Wednesday’s contest is the first of a two-game homestand for William & Mary, which hosts Old Dominion on Sunday. Richmond will travel to face Columbia in its next game on Saturday.
