    Quotes & Notes
    "Tonight was a team win. We got put on our heels with a questionable pin called at 133, but the team rallied well and won. We just have to keep grinding because it's just what you do during this time of year! We will get back in the practice room tomorrow to prepare for our dual on Sunday." - Rider Head Coach John Hangey

    - With the win, the Broncs now lead the all-time series with Lock Haven, 16-10, including nine of the last 10 meetings.
    - Rider returns to action on Sunday, Feb. 9, when they play host to Rutgers in Alumni Gym for a dual set to begin at 7 p.m.
