UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - The University of Richmond handed the #28 University of Massachusetts its first Atlantic 10 loss of the season, a 2-0 decision Friday night at First Market Stadium. With the win, the Spiders improve to 5-3-0 in the conference and 7-7-1 overall. The Minutewomen fall to 7-1-0 in the Atlantic 10 and 10-3-0 overall.
Richmond senior forward Laura Gincel (Princeton, N.J./West Windsor) netted her third goal of the season in the 12th minute of the contest. UMass goaltender Julie Podhrasky jumped out of the box to defend a streaking Gincel who slid the ball into the left corner of the empty net to give the Spiders a 1-0 lead.
The Spiders added an insurance goal in the 79th minute when sophomore Jessie Marino (Poland, Ohio/Poland Seminary) sent a 15-yard shot lofting over Podhrasky. The score was Marino's first of the season.
Richmond senior keeper Kristen Samuhel (Chapel Hill, N.C./Chapel Hill) posted her sixth shut out of the season and 29th of her career. She made two saves in the victory. Teammate Natalie Stallings (Poquoson, Va./Poquoson) contributed two defensive saves in the box to preserve the victory.
