Women's Soccer Unveils 2025 Fall Schedule

RICHMOND, Va. — Head Coach Adam Denton and the University of Richmond women’s soccer team announced the 2025 fall schedule on Friday featuring 18 regular season matches including eight home games at President’s Field at River Road and 10 road contests.

“We can’t wait to get started with the team for the fall 2025 season,” Denton said. “We graduated a lot of players last fall, but we had a very good spring bringing our younger group together. We have another challenging schedule this year, and we’re excited to get our players together for the preseason and get the season going.”

The Spiders kick off preseason play with a pair of exhibition matches, welcoming Loyola Maryland to President’s Field on Aug. 3 before heading into the mountains to face ETSU in Johnson City, Tenn. on Aug. 9. Richmond will officially open its regular season with an in-state road contest at VMI on Aug. 14.

The regular season home opener is set for Aug. 17, when the Spiders welcome Coastal Carolina to campus. The match will be followed by a Thursday evening tilt against ECU on Aug. 21. Richmond closes the month with a trip to Wofford on Aug. 24, a home match against Radford on Aug. 28 and a road game at Howard on Aug. 31. Non-conference play continues in September with visits to Queens on Sept. 7 and Longwood on Sept. 11.

“In our non-conference schedule, we compete against teams from several strong conferences, giving us a variety of matchups that help prepare us for Atlantic 10 play,” Denton said. “The challenge of competing at this level is being physically and mentally prepared for every game, regardless of the opponent or location.”

Atlantic 10 action gets underway on Sept. 21, when the Spiders travel to Pittsburgh, Pa. for a matchup against Duquesne. Richmond then hosts George Mason on Sept. 25 before hitting the road to face Fordham on Sept. 28 to round out September.

The Spiders then return home to play host to Dayton and Rhode Island on Oct. 2 and Oct. 5, respectively. Richmond will travel to the Windy City for a matchup against Loyola Chicago on Oct. 12 before a crosstown visit to rival VCU on Oct. 16. The Spiders then host George Washington on Oct. 19 and wrap up the road schedule with a trip to Saint Joseph’s on Oct. 23. The regular season concludes at home on Oct. 26 against St. Bonaventure for Senior Day.

Denton, now in his third season at the helm of the program, welcomes back a core group of returners along with a standout class of newcomers. The 2025 roster will feature eight incoming freshmen: Jess Moylan, Andee Costabile, Emma Newman, Julia Lishia, Morgane Zinn, Isabel Seifert, Anna Nelson and Macray Marchione.

The Spiders also added two transfers in the spring season in Audrey Brown, a goalkeeper from Illinois State, and Erika Schneider, a defender from Pitt.

“We’re thrilled to introduce the 2025 recruiting class as the newest members of our Spider Family,” Denton said. “As we strive for even greater success within the A-10 Conference and beyond, each of these young women bring unique strengths that will help us reach our goals. Combined with our two spring transfers, this incoming group enhances the talents of our current roster. The future of Spider Soccer at the University of Richmond is bright, and we’re eager to see what’s ahead. Go ‘DERS!”

San Marcos alum Ava Stryker poured in a game-high six goals to lead the U.S. Women’s National Water Polo Team to a 26-3 rout of Argentina in its final group-play match Monday at the World Aquatics World Championship in Singapore.

The six goals was a career best for Stryker as a senior national team member. She had two goals in an earlier group-play win over China.

Team USA went 3-0 in the group and advanced to the quarterfinals on Saturday against either Great Britain or Japan at 2:35 a.m. PT.  Live streaming of all USA matches will be available on Peacock (login required).

World Aquatics Championships: E. coli bacteria to blame for postponed Sentosa open water race

Hours before the event was due to begin on Tuesday, it was announced that the race would be postponed as water quality levels failed to meet “acceptable thresholds”, organisers said.

Hours before the event was due to begin on Tuesday, it was announced that the race would be postponed as water quality levels failed to meet “acceptable thresholds”, organisers said.

In a press release in the early hours of Tuesday, World Aquatics announced that the decision was made in the “utmost interest of athlete safety”.

The race, which was planned for 8am on Tuesday, is now scheduled for 10.15am on Wednesday. Singapore Olympian Chantal Liew and youngster Kate Ona were scheduled to compete in the race.

The decision followed a review involving representatives from World Aquatics, the Singapore 2025 Organising Committee, the World Aquatics Sports Medicine Committee and the World Aquatics Open Water Swimming Technical Committee, said World Aquatics.

“While testing in recent days has consistently shown water quality at the venue to meet World Aquatics’ acceptable thresholds, analysis of samples taken on Jul 13 surpassed these thresholds,” said the sport’s governing body in a press release.

“The decision to postpone racing was made in the best interests of athlete health and safety, which remains World Aquatics and the Singapore 2025 Organising Committee’s top priority.”

National head coach Gary Tan said he and his athletes were informed of the postponement at about 11.45pm on Monday.

“Our team promptly communicated the update to the affected athletes and worked with them on next steps,” he said.

Mr Tan, who is also the performance director of swimming at Singapore Aquatics, said postponements were not uncommon in international open water swimming competitions.

“Our athletes are well accustomed to managing such changes. They remain in good spirits, and while the race will now take place at a later time slot, they have trained under similar conditions and are well prepared to adapt.”

At last year’s Paris Olympics, pollution in the Seine after heavy rains caused the men’s triathlon race to be postponed for a day, after swimming practice sessions were cancelled two days in a row.

There are plans in place should contamination levels continue to exceed acceptable standards, said Mr Nowicki.

“We have a variety of different options that we can use in so far as locations that we’ll look at. It could be in Sentosa, it could not be in Sentosa. It’s not something that we’re planning right now,” he added.

“So it’s bit premature to talk about alternative sites on or off Sentosa.”

World Aquatics Championships: sea races back on in Singapore after water quality delays

The men’s and women’s 10km open water swimming events at the World Aquatics Championships will finally get under way on Wednesday after multiple delays owing to unacceptable levels of E coli bacteria in Singapore’s seas.

Initially scheduled for Tuesday, the women’s 10km was called off hours before the expected start after water samples drawn at the race site off Sentosa island, on the southern coast of the city state, showed “exceeding levels” of the Escherichia coli (E coli) bacteria.

The race was then moved to Wednesday morning, hours after the scheduled start of the men’s race, but both were delayed again late on Tuesday after the water quality levels exceeded the “acceptable thresholds outlined in the World Aquatics competition regulation”.

On Wednesday, World Aquatics and the Singapore 2025 Organising Committee said races could proceed at 1pm for the men’s 10km race and 4pm for the women’s.

Water samples showed a significant improvement, organisers said, with levels of E coli falling between the ranges of “good” to “excellent” according to World Aquatics and the World Health Organization (WHO) regulations.

Both point totals are his personal-best scores in their respective disciplines.

Scantling saw great success at the NCAA level competing for the Georgia Bulldogs under Kyprianou. Highlighted by being the national runner-up in the heptathlon at the 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships scoring 6,068 points.

MLB trying to work out 'logistics' for players to participate in 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles

MLB trying to work out 'logistics' for players to participate in 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles

Commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday that Major League Baseball is “trying to iron through (the) logistics” that would allow MLB players to participate in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. MLB officials met with Olympic representatives earlier this week and both the league and players have interest in Olympic participation.

Here’s what Manfred said about the 2028 Olympics on Tuesday (via MLB.com):

“I think that the idea of playing in L.A. in ’28, regardless of the merits of the possibility of ongoing Olympic participation in another location, that there’s some merit to it,” Manfred said Tuesday during a Q&A session with the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. “I think it is an opportunity to market the game on a really global stage.”

Tony Clark, director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, similarly said his team is trying to work out a plan.

“We do know players are interested in playing, whether it’s for Team USA or for any number of other teams around the world,” he said. “We’ve got the WBC, which players are telling us they’re interested in playing in, as well. There’s just a lot of conversation that needs to be had sooner rather than later to see how viable this is, but we’re hopeful that we can figure out a way to do it.”

Currently, only amateurs and professional players not on the 40-man roster are allowed to participate in the Olympics. Team USA’s roster in 2020 featured minor-league journeymen, a few top prospects, and several unsigned free agent veterans. Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball and the Korea Baseball Organization halted their regular seasons so professionals could play in the 2020 Olympics, during which Japan beat USA in the gold medal game.

The schedule and insurance would likely be the biggest logistical issue. The 2028 schedule, released Monday, set games for July 15-20 at Dodger Stadium, which would likely fall around the All-Star break but stretch longer than the typical Midsummer Classic.

The NHL has paused its season for the Olympics in the past and their players will participate in the 2026 Olympics for the first time since 2014. The hiatus was related to insurance, among other things. The NHL wanted the International Olympic Committee to cover the salary of any injured players, the IOC refused, so on and so forth. MLB may also have to work through similar insurance issues.

“There’s nothing more worldwide than the Olympics,” Phillies star Bryce Harper said about the Olympics last year. “I watch the most random sports in the Olympics because it’s the Olympics, and that’s really cool. I love hockey. It’s one of my favorite sports to watch. To see (the NHL) take that three-week break and let those guys go play, that’s another big goal that we should have as Major League Baseball.”  

Baseball was a full-time Olympic sport from 1992-2008. Cuba has won three gold medals (1992, 1996, 2004) and South Korea (2008), Japan (2020), and USA (2000) have one gold medal apiece. As a minor leaguer, former Milwaukee Brewers ace Ben Sheets threw a complete game shutout against heavily favored Cuba in the 2000 gold medal game.
