A spider is classified by its eight legs. On Sunday afternoon, the Richmond Spiders used all eight of them to trip up Penn State.
In their first game of the Battle 4 Tha Culture Holiday Classic, the Lady Lions brought a three-game losing streak to an end, defeating VCU, earning their way back in the win column.
However, a new contest welcomed a quick turnaround as Penn State faced off against another Atlantic 10 opponent. This time it was a much better one. Richmond posed far better offensive weapons that Penn State failed to contain, giving way to a 70-54 loss.
