- Friday evening against Quinnipiac marks the final home game for seniors Kamila Hoskova and Asyana'e Muwwakkil. Before the game, the Broncs will recognize both Hoskova and Muwwakkil for their contributions to the program. Escorting Hoskova for Senior Day activities will be teammates Lexi Posset and Lea Favre. Walking out with Muwwakkil are her parents (Asya Muwwakkil, Spencer Stewart) and siblings (Samiah Stewart, Spencer Stewart Jr., Arishia Stewart and Damira Colvin).

- Friday's game marks the final home regular-season contest for the Broncs in 2017-18. At home, Rider is 6-6 overall and 5-3 in MAAC play. The team has won five of their last six home conference games after dropping their first two to start the year.

- Quinnipiac leads the all-time series, 11-0, having swept the regular-season series each year since joining the MAAC. The two teams met last year in the MAAC Championship with the Bobcats scoring an 81-73 victory.

- Freshman guard Jaiden Morris scored  a career-high 18 points in Hamden, but it wasn't enough as Quinnipiac netted a 73-66 victory against the Broncs on January 15. Morris was one of three Broncs to score in double figures in the contest as she knocked down an efficient 7-of-10 from the field. In the third, Rider scored 21 points and shot over 47 percent (8-of-17) from the field to pull within two at 54-52 heading into the fourth quarter. Morris went off in the third for the Broncs, scoring nine points on 4-of-4 shooting to go along with a pair of steals. Quinnipiac held off a late Rider rally by hitting their free throws down the stretch to earn the hard-fought victory.

- Last time out, sophomore Stella Johnson stuffed the stat sheet once again to lead Rider past  Canisius, 62-54, on Sunday afternoon in Buffalo. Johnson recorded her fifth double-double of the season thanks to a 25-point, 13-rebound performance. She also added five assists and four blocks for the Broncs. Rider held off Canisius down the stretch by hitting 13-of-14 free throws in the fourth quarter. In the game, the Broncs hit 20-of-23 from the free-throw line and outrebounded the Griffs, 43-28. 

- Senior Kamila Hoskova has had a remarkable four years in Lawrenceville, highlighted by starting every game over the past two seasons. Hoskova currently ranks ninth on the program's all-time scoring list with 1,204 points. She is also third in Rider history with 120 games played and Friday will mark her 69th career start. Earlier this year, she scored a career-best 32 points at Mount St. Mary's. She is also fifth all-time in field goal percentage (.445) and just the third player in Rider history with a free-throw percentage over 80 percent (81.3%).

- Heading into the final weekend of conference play the Broncs are tied for third-place in the MAAC standings with Fairfield and Siena thanks to boasting a 9-7 record. Quinnipiac clinched the regular-season crown last week and Marist has earned the No. 2 seed in the upcoming MAAC Tournament. With two games to play, the No. 3 – No. 8 will be decided between Siena, Fairfield, Rider, Manhattan, Niagara and Canisius.

- Sophomore Stella Johnson had another impressive stat line against Canisius last time out. The speedy guard scored 25 points to go along with 13 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and one steal. She has scored 20-plus points in back-to-back games for the Broncs.
