The University of Richmond got their 1st victory of 2023 with a convincing 38-6 victory over Delaware State. The University of Richmond returned home after last week’s loss to Michigan State in Lasing to face off with the Delaware State Hornets in their final non-conference game of the regular season. Both teams entered the contest with a 0-2 record. This was the first matchup between these two schools.


The Spiders opened the game on an 18-yard punt return from Nathan Wilson. The Spiders opening drive (7 plays for 30 yards) led to a 40-yard field goal by Andrew Lopez. The Hornets' opening drive was lackluster as they punted. The Hornets struck back on their 2nd possession as they went on a 15-play drive for 80 yards that led to a 36-yard field goal by Jonathan Cardoza-Chicas.


Richmond responded with a 3-yard touchdown run by running back Milan Howard to give the Spiders a 10-3 lead with 8:21 left in the 2nd quarter. Running back Savon Smith ran for a 2-yard touchdown to give the Spiders a 17-3 lead with 1:35 left before halftime. The Spiders punched in another score, but this time through the air as Quarterback Kyle Wickersham connected with Jerry Garcia Jr. on a 56-yard play that gave the Spiders a 24-3 lead at Halftime.


The Spiders continued their dominance defensively as they shut down Delaware State in their opening drive of the 2nd half. Jonathan Cardoza-Chicas kicked a 23-yard field goal to make the Score 24-6 with 2:02 left in the 3rd quarter. Kyle Wickersham connected with Nick DeGennaro for 44 yards to extend the Spiders lead to 25 in the 4th quarter. Hornets’ wide receiver NyGhee Lolley inadvertently threw the ball to Richmond’s Linebacker Wayne Galloway who intercepted the ball and took it to the house to give the Spiders a 38-6 lead that held up to the final whistle.
