RICHMOND, VA (10/12/01) - The University of Richmond scored two goals in the last 11 minutes of play to top visiting Saint Joseph's, 2-0 on Friday night at First Market Stadium. The Spiders improve to 3-1-0 in the Atlantic 10, 4-5-1 overall while the Hawks drop to 1-1-2 in the conference and 4-3-2 overall.
The Spiders out shot the Hawks, 20-7 in the contest including 12-4 in the second half.
