UR WLAX ranked #10

22. RICHMOND​

2021 record: 10-2 (6-0 A-10)

Last seen: A disappointing showing against an upstart Saint Joseph’s team in the A-10 tournament — ultimately a 19-8 for the Spiders.

Initial forecast: Sam Geiersbach, a program staple on the offensive end, has transferred further south to North Carolina, but there’s still firepower on the attack in Richmond. Juniors Lindsey Frank (37 goals) and Arden Tierney (39 points) now firmly have the keys to the Spiders offense, with graduate student Nicole Concannon, Marina Miller and Kendall Duffy providing support. Longtime goalie Megan Gianforte has graduated, leaving an opening between the pipes. Each of Nicole Burney, Daniela Stelcer and Emilie Bloyer saw time in 2021, but graduate transfer Delaney Galvin (Marist) has started 48 career games. With consistent goalie play reminiscent of Gianforte’s production, Richmond should be just fine.

UNC just stormed back from a 14–7 deficit with 10 minutes to go to knock off Northwestern to move to 21–0 and reach the NCAA championship game.

Geiersbach had six goals, including the final four. Sure would have been nice to be able to keep her in a Spider uniform.

20. RICHMOND​

2022 record: 14-4 (8-1 A10)

Last seen: The Spiders fell to one of last spring’s biggest Cinderella stories, Saint Joseph’s, 10-9 in the A10 semis.

Initial forecast: Last May, the Spiders watched their former teammate Sam Geiersbach play the role of unlikely hero for UNC during its championship run. This year, they’ll hope to get a boost from a pair of transfers in midfielder Katie Riehl, who played two games during her sophomore year for Boston College, and defender/draw specialist Clare McCooe, who corralled 113 draws as a freshman at Manhattan. Richmond also adds incoming freshman Alexis Morton. Morton tallied 102 points as a senior at Manhasset (N.Y.) and was named High School Player of the Year by Newsday. But there will be plenty of competition for starting spots on the attack and in the midfield. Lindsey Frank (50 goals, 22 assists, 23 draw controls), Arden Tierney (39 goals, 33 assists, 98 draw controls), Colleen Quinn (33 goals, 24 assists) and Sophia DiCenso (32 goals, seven assists, 14 caused turnovers) are slated to return. Starting goalie Delaney Galvin, who ranked fourth in Division I with a .501 save percentage, has graduated. The Spiders carried three other goalies who combined for fewer than 60 minutes of playing time in Daniela Stelcer, Emilie Bloyer and Nicole Burney.
