RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Four Richmond players scored in double figures, but it wasnât enough to cool off a hot-shooting Hofstra team, which topped the Spiders, 76-71, at the Robins Center on Tuesday afternoon. The loss snaps Richmondâs seven game home winning streak.
The Pride opened up a ten point first half lead, but the Spiders were able to chip away and pull to within three at halftime, trailing 36-33. Richmond would have some more juice coming out of the locker room and opened up a nine point advantage at 55-46 with 10:28 to play in the game, but Hofstra used an 11-1 run to take the lead back with 8:03 remaining.
