Villanova's Mark Hamilton kicked a 21-yard field goal to close the gap to 21-17 in the fourth quarter, but on the Wildcats' final two possessions, John Robertson threw interceptions — both to Darryl Hamilton — to hand Richmond (4-2, 2-1) the win.
Robertson threw three interceptions and lost one fumble.
Richmond's Stephen Barnette caught five passes for 110 yards and a touchdown, and Jovan Smith scored on a 45-yard run.
