04/18/2026 | Men's Lacrosse
Richmond, Va. – The University of Richmond men's lacrosse team celebrated Senior Day with a 13–11 victory over Saint Joseph's on Saturday, capping an undefeated 8–0 regular season at Robins Stadium.
With the win, the Spiders extended their Atlantic 10 Conference winning streak to 11 games, improved to 18–2 (90.0%) all-time in Atlantic 10 regular season play, and secured an undefeated home regular season for just the second time in program history (2018, 2023).
Deadlocked at 4–4 heading into halftime, Richmond opened the third quarter with a four-goal run to pull ahead 8–4. Both teams then traded goals before Saint Joseph's answered with a four-goal run of its own to tie the game at 9–9. Richmond responded with another decisive four-goal stretch between 11:36 and 4:41 in the fourth quarter to pull away beofre the Hawks added the final two goals, but it was not enough as the Spiders continued their unbeaten run against Atlantic 10 opponents dating back to March 29, 2025.
Two major milestones were reached during the game. Lucas Littlejohn's assist on Gavin Creo's goal at 11:36 of the fourth quarter marked his 100th career point, making him the 12th player in program history to reach the milestone and the second this season, following Joe Sheridan's 100th-point achievement in last week's game at St. Bonaventure. Later, Aidan O'Neil's assist on Littlejohn's goal at 8:10 of the fourth quarter marked the 200th point of his career, making him just the fourth player in program history to reach 200 career points.
Richmond opened the scoring at 12:15 of the first quarter on a goal by Littlejohn, assisted by O'Neil. Tanner Huber followed with a goal at 7:27 to make it 2–0, before Saint Joseph's responded with two man-up goals at 2:59 and 1:09. O'Neil added a goal at 1:37, giving Richmond a 3–2 lead after the first quarter.
Saint Joseph's tied the game at 3–3 at 13:48 of the second quarter. Littlejohn responded at 8:20 off a feed from Creo to put Richmond ahead 4–3, but the Hawks again answered at 6:39 to send the game into halftime tied at 4–4.
Richmond took control early in the third quarter with a four-goal surge. Littlejohn scored at 12:12 (assist O'Neil), followed by Joe Sheridan at 11:22. Jack Ricciardi added a goal at 9:55 (assist O'Neil), and Creo scored at 8:54. Leo Caine followed at 7:26 (assist Vincent Gaylord), just after Saint Joseph's scored its first goal of the half at 7:32. The Hawks later added two more at 3:23 and 0:11 to cut the deficit to 9–7 heading into the fourth quarter.
Saint Joseph's tied the game at 9–9 with goals at 14:04 and 13:58 of the fourth quarter, but Richmond responded immediately with four consecutive: Creo at 11:36 (assist Littlejohn), Charlie Packard at 10:37, Littlejohn at 8:10 (assist O'Neil), and Daniel Picart at 4:41 (assist Ricciardi) to take a 13–9 lead. Saint Joseph's closed the game with goals at 4:02 and 3:42, but the comeback fell short as the Spiders held on for the win.
Both teams were strong in the ride, with Saint Joseph's going 14-of-21 on clears and Richmond finishing 17-of-20. Shots were nearly even, with the Spiders holding a 45–42 advantage. In goal, Connor Knight recorded 14 saves for Richmond.
