WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
- All regular-season home games in 2018-19 will be carried on either ESPN3 or ESPN+. Road games only will be carried on 107.7 The Bronc. No radio broadcasts for home games will be provided.

- Vermont was picked to finish sixth in the America East Preseason Coaches's Poll. Last year, the Catamounts went 8-22 overall and 5-11 in America East action. UVM was 6-10 inside Patrick Gymnasium in 2017-18. The Catamounts return two starters from last season's team, highlighted by the return of Preseason All-America East honoree Hannah Crymble. Crymble averaged nearly 17 points and over five rebounds per game.

- Last time out, the Broncs fell to visiting Princeton, 89-65, in the season-opener on Tuesday, November 6. Princeton shot an impressive 7-of-13 from three-point range to take a 52-27 lead into the half. After Rider senior point guard Lexi Posset hit a driving lay-up to give the Broncs a 4-3 edge early in the contest, the guests responded with a 15-0 run to build a double-digit they would not surrender. Three Rider players scored in double figures in the setback. The Broncs did answer after the break however, winning the second half, 38-37.

- The Broncs defeated the Catamounts, 64-49, last December in Lawrenceville. Stella Johnson poured in 28 points on an impressive 11-of-14 shooting for Rider to lead the charge for the hosts. The Broncs trailed for just 90 seconds in the entire game last year and that came early in the second quarter. With the score tied at 20, Rider ended the first half on an 8-0 run capped by a three from Lexi Stover to take a lead they would relinquish.

- Junior Stella Johnson was stellar for the Broncs in her first game as a team captain. She scored a team-high 21 points to go along with a game-high six assists, five rebounds, two steals and one block. She continues to stuff the stat sheet for Rider. Stella was 8-of-16 from the field, including 3-of-7 from three-point range. It marked her third straight game with 20 or more points for Rider. She currently has 843 career points for the Broncs in 65 games played.

- Freshman point guard Amanda Mobley was impressive in her collegiate debut versus Princeton. She scored 10 points off the bench on 4-of-5 shooting in 12 minutes of action. She also added one steal, one block and one assist.
