MERION STATION, Pa. – Sophomore goalkeeper Amelia Deibler made seven saves on Friday afternoon but the Saint Joseph's field hockey team ultimately fell to Richmond, 5-0, at Ellen Ryan Field on Friday afternoon.

Richmond (7-4 overall, 3-0 Atlantic 10) got on the board 4:30 into the game on a goal by Taylor Dietrick.  Four minutes later, Kasey Gilbride doubled the lead for the Spiders, before Kelly Quinn's third of the season gave UR a 3-0 lead heading into the break.
