WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
- The Broncs have a pair of games this weekend, hosting Fairfield in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) action on Friday evening before traveling to square off with regional rival Lehigh on Sunday afternoon.

- Prior to Friday evening's tilt with the Stags the Broncs will honor seniors Alison Amen and Jessica Randazzo for their contributions to the program.

- Amen has appeared in 52 games for the Broncs and made 31 starts over the last four years. She has gone the distance and played every minute of the contest in 10 of Rider's 12 games this fall. As a senior she has recorded two defensive saves. In her career, she has registered six defensive saves, courtesy of racking up four defensive saves as a junior. In last season's MAAC Semifinals, she recorded a career-high two defensive saves against Monmouth. She is currently tied for third in the MAAC this season with two defensive saves.   

- Randazzo has been a four-year starter for the Broncs, appearing in 68 games. She has scored 11 goals and added nine assists for 31 career points. As a freshman, she recorded one defensive save (the only one of her career). This season, she has dished out three assists. As a freshman and sophomore she scored four goals apiece. As a freshman, she also had a career-best four assists. She has twice been named to the MAAC All-Academic Team and she's earned Second Team All-MAAC honors twice as well.

- Rider has won three straight games and six of their last eight contests. At home in 2018, the team is 1-2 with a pair of one-goal setbacks.

- Last time out, Rider raced past LIU Brooklyn, 5-2, in MAAC play. The Broncs are 1-1 in conference clashes this fall. In the victory, freshman Carly Brosious scored the game-winning goal and added an assist, while Classmate Tess van Ommeren had two goals and an assist. Also in the victory, junior Tess Coorens scored twice.  

- On Monday, a pair of Broncs earned weekly awards from the MAAC. Junior Tess Coorens was tabbed as the MAAC Defensive Player of the Week and freshman Carly Brosious was honored as the MAAC Co-Rookie of the Week. Both players earned weekly accolades from the league for the first time in their careers.

- Coorens continued her solid play for the Broncs as Rider went 2-0 last week. She scored two goals and recorded a pair of defensive saves for Rider in wins over VCU and LIU Brooklyn. In a 2-1 overtime win at VCU, Coorens had a career-high two defensive saves. She closed the week with two goals in a 5-2 victory over the Blackbirds in MAAC play. It marked her first career multi-goal game. She is currently second in the MAAC with nine goals.   

- Brosious continued to impress on the pitch for the Broncs in Rider's victories last week. She scored two goals and added two assists. Both of her goals on the week were game-winners. In a 2-1 overtime victory against VCU, she scored in overtime. She also added an assist on Rider's first marker of the contest. She followed that up with the game-winning goal and an assist in a MAAC win versus the Blackbirds.

- In the cage, sophomore Lena Vandam is 7-5 this year with a 2.22 goals-against average, .717 save percentage, 71 saves and four shutouts. She has twice been recognized as the MAAC Defensive Player of the Week this season. Versus VCU last week, she made a career-high 15 saves in Rider's 2-1 overtime win. She has made five or more saves in a game seven times this season, including four straight appearances. Her four shutouts are tied for tops in the MAAC.

- Coorens is enjoying a breakout campaign for the Broncs. She leads Rider in goals (9) and points (21). She ranks second in the MAAC in both goals and points, while sitting in third in points per game. She has scored in eight different games this season.  

- Brosious is second on the team in goals (7) and points (18).  She has registered a goal and an assist in two straight games. She has scored in back-to-back games on two separate occasions this fall. Her four game-winning goals this season are second-best in the league.

- Waterkeyn is having a career year thanks to scoring six goals and adding five assists thus far.   

- Defensively, Alison Amen, Kaitlyn Flemming and Coorens are tied for the team-lead with two defensive saves each this year.  

- Rider has seen five different first-year players (Kat Conroy, Julia Divorra, Tess van Ommeren, Gianna Morganti and Brosious) score goals already this season. Freshmen have accounted for 18 of the team's 37 markers this fall.

- As a team, Rider is averaging 3.08 goals per game and nearly eight penalty corners per tilt.
