On the heels of a home victory over Canisius, and in the middle of a three-way, second-place tie with Monmouth and Manhattan, the men’s basketball team went on the road and defeated St. Peter’s on Jan. 29, but lost to Siena on Feb. 2.
In the opening half against St. Peter’s (16-6, 9-2 MAAC), Rider moved out to an 18-10 lead, but fell behind 21-20 after St. Peter’s went on a run of its own. Not to be outdone, the Broncs’ second leading scorer, junior guard Teddy Okereafor, hit two free throws followed by a three-pointer to give Rider (14-9, 8-4 MAAC) a 25-21 lead.
