Wagner College 7, Rider University 0

LAWRENCEVILLE—The Rider University men's tennis team lost the fall 2015 home opener to Wagner College on Tuesday afternoon.

“Overall, we were competitive, even though the overall score didn't indicate that,” said head coach Doug Potkay.  “We were a little flat in some of the singles, missing key ad points.”

For the Broncs, sophomore Jeremy Van Herwarde (Sussex/Pope John XXIII) won seven games at third singles before losing 6-4, 6-3.

Sophomore Chris Popso (Florence) and sophomore Diego Delgado (Lara, Venezuela/Colegio Rioclaro) gave it a run at number one doubles before losing 7-5.

“Our doubles teams are beginning to gel and the close scores reflected that,” added Potkay.

The Rider women open the 2015 fall season against Wagner on Wednesday at 3pm.

The Bronc men are back in action September 19 at Temple University.
