The Rider Broncs hope to get back on track after slipping to two games under .500 on the season with two straight losses. The Broncs are now just 3-2 in the MAAC after winning their first three games in conference play. On Friday night, Rider fell to Quinnipiac at home, 72-63. After leading at the half, Rider allowed Quinnipiac to score the first seven points of the second half and, after a back and forth stretch, an 11-2 Quinnipiac run put them in the lead for good. Allen Powell led the way with a season-high 19 points for the Broncs.
“Not a good second half. Embarrassing, as a matter of fact. Poor execution, poor rebounding, poor defense. Embarrassing.” Rider Head Coach Kevin Baggett said after the loss.
FINAL – Broncs fall to Quinnipiac. Powell led Rider with 19 points, James had 16. Bakare gave Rider a spark with 9 points.
