Spiders' Strong Start

Like Delaware in the North, Richmond became the only CAA South to move to 2-0 in conference play in the Colonial’s second full week. With James Madison’s scheduled date against William & Mary postponed due to COVID-19 protocols, the Spiders took over the division’s top spot in a 38-14 win at Elon.

Richmond forced three turnovers with Tyrek Funderburk, Tyler Dressler and Xavier Marshall all picking off passes.

“That’s a big part of our defense now, just emphasizing turnovers, takeaways,” Funderburk told the Spider Sports Network radio show. “Last week, [we were] getting the jitters out, playing [for the first time in] a year-and-a-half, we feel a lot better now, a lot more comfortable as a team.”
