On Saturday, the Richmond Spiders defeated Colgate 13-6, improving to 6-2 while holding the Raiders to just six points. The victory showcased Richmond's defensive prowess in a low-scoring Patriot League matchup.
Richmond's defense recorded eight sacks, bringing the season total to 31, with linebacker Devin Geronomi leading the effort with 11 solo tackles. Defensive ends Blake Houser and Camden Byrd contributed three and two sacks respectively.
Quarterback Ashten Snelsire threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Jaiden Fair for the game's only score, completing 10 of 20 passes for 116 yards. Kicker Kyle Bitsko added two field goals for the Spiders.
Despite leading 316-252 in total yards, Colgate managed only two field goals by Luke Vogeler, as quarterback Jake Stearney was intercepted three times. The offensive struggles cost the Raiders despite statistical advantages.
