Lafayette College 6, Rider University 1

EASTON, Pa.—Despite a win at first singles by junior Alison Noll (Monmouth Junction/South Brunswick), the Rider University women's tennis team lost a non-conference match at Lafayette College on Saturday afternoon.

Noll dropped the opening set 6-3 before roaring back against the Leopards 6-0 in the second set and 10-6 in the third set to take the victory.

“The match was played under good conditions,” said head coach Ed Torres.  “Alison (Noll) played very well.  She lost the opening set to a very good player and then came back and made no errors with a very steady game to sweep the second set.  She then got off to a fast start in the 10-point tiebreaker, opening up a 9-3 lead.”

The Bronc women host Wagner on Tuesday at 2:00pm.

“We kept the ball alive and battled,” Torres said.  “They are making improvements and today was a good experience for them.”
