JUNIOR (2025-26): De La Riva's first run with the Fire was nearly impeccable. He might have lost his first singles match of the season, but that was it, as he proceeded to win the next 15. A few matches into the season, he joined forces with Gustavo Rubio, as they went to be the No. 37 doubles team in the NAIA with a 10-4 record. He was responsible for the Fire's only two sets won in the semifinal against No. 1 Georgia Gwinnett. He picked up two ranked singles wins and a ranked doubles win, ranking as high as No. 58 in singles. His play was recognized with Sun Conference Player of the Week, NAIA Men's Tennis Player of the Week, and First-Team All-Sun Conference.
