Schedule

Richmond's 2022–23 non-conference schedule featured 13 games, including a pair of games in the Navy Classic in Annapolis, Maryland, and another pair in the Puerto Rico Clasico in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[4]

In the Atlantic 10 portion of the schedule, Richmond was scheduled to play a total of 16 games, including home and away games against VCU and Davidson. In addition, Richmond was scheduled to host George Washington, George Mason, Saint Joseph's, La Salle, Saint Louis and St. Bonaventure, while the Spiders traveled to Loyola Chicago, Rhode Island, Fordham, Massachusetts, Dayton and Duquesne.[5] However, the away games at Davidson and Dayton were canceled due to COVID-19 issues in opponents' programs.

The Spiders finished in fifth place in Atlantic 10 play and faced No. 12 seed Dayton in the second round of the A-10 women's tournament, advancing by a score of 71–60.[6] The Spiders defeated No. 4 seed Fordham in the quarterfinals, 70–65, before falling to No. 1 seed Massachusetts in the semifinals, 80–60.[7][8]

The Spiders were selected to participate in the 2023 WNIT, hosting Penn in the first round in the Spiders' first postseason appearance since the 2014–15 season.[9] The Spiders defeated Penn, 75–52, and advanced to play conference foe Rhode Island in the second round where they fell, 74–64.
