MADISON, NJ – The Rider University women's tennis team rolled to a pair of 7-2 wins over Arcadia and Drew Sunday afternoon in Madison, NJ. Playing with just five players, the Broncs won every match they contested, forfeiting at No. 6 singles and No. 3 doubles to account for the two points ceded in each match.
