Matt Coughlin pitched a 9-inning complete game, his first in college, and allowed just one earned run in beating Rider, 4-3, in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Coughlin, who was the staff swingman last year, pitching in both relief and as a weekday starter before becoming a conference starter later in the season, pitched nine innings against Rider in the 4-3 opening-game win. He scattered seven hits and allowed one earned run (three total), while walking two and striking out two.
