On March 31, 2006, the Rider women’s soccer team visited Stony Brook Elementary School in Pennington, New Jersey, to read to several of their classes.

In the Magic Kingdom, Rider managed to get its groove on.

In a rematch of the 2004 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championship game, the Broncs ended the 2005 regular season with a loss at Loyola Saturday. “We’ve played every team in the MAAC now, and we are better prepared for the upcoming tournament,” said Rider head coach Kevin Long.

In preparation for the upcoming Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championship tournament, Rider scheduled one of the toughest teams in the area to play, Princeton.  “When this game was scheduled six months ago, it was to prepare us for the season finale against Loyola and for the MAAC tournament, and I think it did that,” said Rider head coach Kevin Long.

Instead of celebrating the achievements of her teammates from the sidelines, junior goalkeeper Hannah Harris (Denville, NJ/Morris Knolls) was the one being celebrated on Tuesday after she shut out conference opponent Manhattan in her first collegiate start.

After taking a 1-0 lead 18 seconds into the game, the Broncs lost a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference at Iona Sunday.

The Broncs lost a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game at Fairfield Friday, despite out-shooting the host Stags 13-10.

When discussing starting line ups, some coaches have been heard to say that “it doesn’t matter who starts the game, it is who finishes the game that counts.” On Friday freshman Jen Vroman (Piscataway, NJ/Piscataway) came in off the bench and scored twice for the Broncs in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game with Siena.
