Alright, folks, see, the 2026 Final Four is going to be at Scott Stadium, because of the World Cup, and this is the one chance we will get to see a Virginia team have a chance to win a national title at home.

Saturday was not a good day toward that goal.

Eighth-ranked Richmond closed out #13 Virginia on an 11-5 run to post an 18-12 win at Robins Stadium in Richmond Saturday, in front of 3,896 fans on what felt like the first day of spring.

Goaltender Connor Knight (2-0) was solid in net for the Spiders, finishing with a career-high 18 saves to earn his second win of the year.

McCabe Millon stood out among the ‘Hoos (1-1), finishing with a game-high seven points on four goals and three assists.

McCabe now has eight goals and eight assists in two games so far this season.

Jake Marek (0-2), who made his second straight start Saturday, and Kyle Morris split goaltending duties, but the duo combined for only 11 saves after facing 40 Spider shots.
