How it Happened
The Spiders wasted no time finding the breakthrough. In just the third minute, freshman Julia Lishia crossed a pass into the box, where fellow rookie Morgane Zinn stepped up behind the Terrier backline and buried her first career goal to give Richmond a 1-0 advantage.

Richmond controlled much of the possession in the first half and carried a 3-2 edge in shots into the break. The Spiders continued to apply pressure in the second half, generating five more attempts, while their back line, led by captain Gwen Howell, kept the Terriers from capitalizing on their late pressure.

Spider keeper Veronica Rrapi came up with a key stop in the 83rd minute to preserve the shutout, her third of the season.
