November 13, 2022 – Amari Robinson and Ale’Jah Douglas combined for 33 of Clemson’s 61 points to lead Clemson to a 3-0 start, downing Richmond 61-40 on Sunday afternoon in Littlejohn Coliseum. The loss is the Spiders’ first of the season, while the Tigers move to 3-0 for the first time since 2020.
Clemson finished with 36 points in the paint and 28 bench points on the afternoon. Robinson led the Tigers with 18 points, including a perfect 8-8 from the free throw line, followed by Douglas’s 15 on 7-8 shooting. MaKayla Elmore, Hannah Hank and Daisha Bradford each pulled down eight rebounds, while Elmore added two blocks and three steals.
Richmond maintained a 13-7 lead after the first quarter, but the Tigers quickly responded and dominated the remaining three quarters to cruise to a victory. Behind a 22-9 second quarter led by eight points from Robinson, Clemson took a 29-22 lead into the half.
