In what was a rough week for ranked teams (including for last week’s darling, Cornell), Richmond jumped into the top 25 for the first time in as many years this week.
Richmond Causing Arachnophobia: Spiders Ranked In Top 25
↵While the Spiders built something of a reputation as a giant-killer in the late eighties and early nineties, recently they have catapulted to the top of the Atlantic-10 standings, including a win over Temple, thanks to a stingy defense, and just enough scoring.
