Loyola struggled early and trailed 17\u20134 after the first quarter. The Spiders stretched the margin with a decisive 14-0 run late in the second period, taking a 35\u201310 lead into halftime.<\/p>\n<p>Richmond built its largest lead at 44\u201313 early in the third before Loyola (2-6, 0-1 A-10) responded with a 5\u20130 run capped by an <a href=\"https:\/\/loyolaramblers.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/alex-anne-bessette\/3035\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"3035\" target=\"_blank\">Alex-Anne Bessette<\/a> three-pointer. The Ramblers outscored Richmond 14\u201313 in the quarter, trimming the deficit to 48\u201324. Loyola carried its momentum into the fourth, where it again edged the Spiders, 22\u201321, behind 61.5-percent shooting and three made threes.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the early hole proved too deep. Richmond countered each Loyola push, maintaining control and closing out the 69\u201346 win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Game Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Bessette led Loyola with 15 points, including three three-pointers.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/loyolaramblers.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/alexa-kinas\/3029\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"3029\" target=\"_blank\">Alexa Kinas<\/a> added eight points, four steals and five rebounds.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/loyolaramblers.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/kira-chivers\/3025\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"3025\" target=\"_blank\">Kira Chivers<\/a> contributed four points, a season-high seven assists and two steals.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/loyolaramblers.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/brooklyn-vaughn\/3032\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"3032\" target=\"_blank\">Brooklyn Vaughn<\/a> anchored the paint with nine rebounds, her fifth straight game with at least eight boards.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>The Ramblers forced 17 turnovers and turned them into 10 points, while Richmond scored 25 points off Loyola&#8217;s 20 turnovers.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Loyola recorded an assist on 67-percent of its made field goals.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Loyola outscored Richmond in the second half (14\u201313 in the third, 22\u201321 in the fourth).<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>The Ramblers shot 61.5-percent in the fourth quarter, their best period of the night.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Up Next<\/strong><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe Ramblers return to Gentile Arena after a three-game road stretch to host Western Michigan on Sunday (Dec. 7).
