Holding the Lady Sabres to just eight points in the first half, and four points in the fourth quarter, Richmond was led by junior point guard Jamyia Lindsey’s game-high 25 points and nine rebounds.
Freshman Madisen Jackson had eight points and nine rebounds, while senior Ryelan Lyerly and sophomore Jasiah Gilchrist each netted six points.
Senior MaKailah Jackson recorded a team-high 11 rebounds and scored two points. Also scoring two points was junior Rena Drake.
