QUOTES FROM THE COACH - WOMEN

• "Rider was a bit compromised since they only had five players. That being said, they competed very hard, and we had to work for the wins, none more than freshman Vanessa Ciano at third singles, who came down from a set down to win in an exciting three-setter.  Congratulations to the women on winning both of their MAAC matches this fall." – Director of Tennis Gary Sussman

 

QUOTES FROM THE COACH - MEN

• "The men played with the same grit and determination they have exhibited all fall, and were impressive in all facets. A special nod to sophomore transfer Augusto Bonorino, who overcame the flu during the week and a grueling two-and-a-half hour match to win in three sets at third singles." – Director of Tennis Gary Sussman

UP NEXT
