Rider up 10 at the half vs. Marist. Would rather have our Lady Eagles play the Broncs tomorrow.
The Golden Girls were sent packing in this morning’s opener!

[NUEagle]

Marist tied it at 46 with just over 6 minutes remaining in the game, but Rider finished the contest on a 17-4 run. Bring on the Broncs!

Whatever happened to the Marist women's program? For years, they ruled the MAAC. Their longtime coach I believe, is retiring this year, so it is not a change of coaches. The last few years have been a disaster. I wonder if the school imposed academic standards that hurt the program's recruiting.
