The Rams will look to make it three wins in a row on Tuesday evening, traveling to Richmond for a nationally televised match up against the Spiders.

SERIES HISTORY: The series history between Fordham and Richmond is rather one-sided in favor of the Spiders, with the Rams taking only three victories in 14 tries.  The recent trend has been more friendly toward the Rams; however, as Fordham has emerged victorious in each of the last two contests between the squads.  


The Rams will have the opportunity to do something that they have never done before against the Spiders on Tuesday night: win on their home floor.  In contests played at the Robins Center, the Rams are 0-6.

SCOUTING RICHMOND:  Entering Tuesday night's game ranked ninth in the conference with a 10-13 overall record, the Spiders sport four players in double figure scoring.  Led by Olivia Healy at 12.3 points per game, the Spiders also possess an All-A-10 caliber player in Genevieve Okoro, who averages 11.7 points and a team-best 8.4 boards per game.  Kristina King, one of the league's leading free throw shooters at 87.7 percent, averages 10.5 points per game while Janelle Hubbard is putting up 10.2 points in eight starts for the Spiders.


As a team, the Spiders have struggled mightily to convert from beyond the arc, ranking last in the Atlantic 10 with a 26.2 three point percentage.
