Jess Moylan's debut goal and dominant performance set the tone for a promising start

The Richmond women's soccer squad kicked off its 2026 campaign in convincing fashion, edging Wofford 1-0 on a crisp evening at President's Field.

Moylan's Moment

Freshman forward Jess Moylan broke a deadlock in the 24th minute, pouncing on a rebound after Paige West's initial strike was blocked, marking her first career goal on just her 12th shot.

Richmond controlled the tempo, finishing with a 12-6 edge in shots and a 7-5 advantage in corner kicks, while holding 58 percent of possession throughout the contest.

Goalkeepers Veronica Rrapi and Isabel Seifert combined for a clean sheet, making several key saves that preserved the narrow lead.

Looking Ahead

The team now turns its attention to a Thursday night showdown with American, scheduled for 5 p.m. at the same River Road venue, aiming to build on the early-season momentum.
