Richmond, Va.-- Onome-Juliet Esadah (Warri, Delta State, Nigeria) had a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, while Janee'a Summers (Bound Brook, N.J.) finished with 18 points and eight rebounds, but a late rally fell short as the UMBC Women's Basketball team dropped a 76-64 decision at Richmond on Sunday afternoon. With the loss the Retrievers fall to 1-3, while the Spiders improved to 2-2.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

Richmond jumped out to an early 24-13 after 10 minutes thanks to 16 first quarter points from Siobhan Ryan. Summers had five for UMBC while Esadah had four.
Jatarrikah Settle (Frederick, Md.) scored five of her eight points in the second, but Richmond continued its hot shooting as it went into the half up 49-31 thanks to shooting 19-34 overall including 10-18 from three.
At the half, Summers had nine and Esadah had eight.
The Spiders jumped out to a 21 point lead in the third, but UMBC went on a 9-0 run to cut the Richmond lead to 52-40 with just under five minutes left in the third.
But Richmond responded to push the lead back out to 16, but Settle and Esadah hit back-to-back baskets before the end of the quarter to make it a 64-51 Richmond lead going into the final 10 minutes.
UMBC cut the deficit 64-55 on a Summers jumper with just under nine minutes left, but the Retrievers would go scoreless for the next 5:08 as the Spiders kept them from getting any closer.

NOTABLE:

Keelah Dixon (Boston, Mass.) and Danae Marquez (Fresno, Calif.) each had three assists, while Settle had a team-high five.
UMBC outrebounded Richmond, 45-32, and held a 22-7 advantage on the offensive glass
