Despite #VCU's Division I sports' participation in games and tournaments this semester, the university's sport clubs have struggled to continue. Yet while some have ceased operation completely, some have still managing to thrive. My latest for @theCT:

.@CBSSports' @jjones9 has Virginia Tech's OL Christian Darrishaw 13th to LAC & CB Caleb Farley at 28 to NO in his latest mock draft. Jones is particularly high on Jones, ranking him first among incoming CBs. Big to see two #Hokies in the 1st round. #303MIR

Hening, a James River HS alumna, has filed a federal lawsuit against her former #VT head coach. The lawsuit claims Hening was subjected to repeated verbal abuse and was removed from the team due to her political views. Adair is the only defendant in the case, per @RTD_MikeBarber.

[Mike Barber @StillMikeBarber]

A former teammate of Kiersten Hening's refutes the allegations that #Hokies women's soccer coach Chugger Adair targeted Hening for declining to kneel during the ACC's unity pledge.
"This was not for her political views.”

.@VCURamsFH's A-10 Tournament win over #SaintJoseph's ended a seven-game losing streak that included the Rams' 1-0 loss to the Hawks in the 2018 A-10 title. VCU will face Bucknell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on April 30. #303MIR

The former 7'1" #VCU center is heading to Lake Charles, LA after just two weeks in the transfer portal. McNeese State is now the third college Medley-Bacon will play basketball for as he started for Coppin State before averaging just 4.2 minutes per game at VCU. #303MIR

Not only is the #JamesRiver boy's volleyball team 8-0 so far on the season, but they've only lost one set the whole year, per @RTDSports. Their 24-1 set record is not something you see everyday. #303MIR

Former @VCU_Hoops forward @MoAlie81 has been placed on "second round tender" unrestricted free agency after his 4th year with the @Colts. Originally signed to the practice squad in 2017, Alie-Cox could nearly double his career earnings if he stays with the Colts in 2021. #303MIR

[Richmond Times-Dispatch @RTDNEWS]

The offer means other teams can sign the tight end, but they would have to give the Colts a second-round draft pick as compensation. https://t.co/DAKR6Sji0U

The #FlyingSquirrels have announced their "34" initiatives in commemoration of 34 Virginia Union University students who were arrested during a peaceful sit-in protest in 1960. Outside of Jackie Robinson's 42, this is the only other number the Squirrels have ever retired.

[Richmond Flying Squirrels @GoSquirrels]

The Flying Squirrels are proud to announce multiple initiatives honoring the Richmond 34.

Including the retirement of number 34, mural, legacy campaign and more.

"Zaca is a tough midfielder with a very good pedigree. His character fits the culture we are building here and he has the ability to lead, to direct traffic, and he plays a varying set of passes to unlock defenses."

. @JMUFootball's Bridgeforth Stadium, which usually holds 25,000 fans, will be seating 1,000 starting in March. This change follows @GovernorVA's announcement that venues can now seat up to 30% capacity or 1,000 fans, which only increases the #Dukes' football attendance. #303MIR

[James Madison Athletics @JMUSports]

JMU plans to host more fans at select home sporting events this spring, effective March 1. This change is in response to the amended Executive Order 72.

#Richmond men's basketball is hosting #Duquesne this Saturday rather than traveling to Philadelphia for their scheduled matchup vs. #LaSalle, via @SpiderMBB. This is a make-up for the #Spiders' postponed Dec. 19 game vs. Duquesne. #303MIR

[Richmond Basketball @SpiderMBB]

NEWS | The Spiders will host Duquesne this Saturday at 4:30 PM. The game will be televised on NBC Sports Network. #OneRichmond
