WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
- Rider enters the first weekend of MAAC play with a 4-3 overall record. After dropping the first two matches of the autumn, the Broncs have won four of their last five matches. The only setback for Rider came in five sets last time out at La Salle.

- The Broncs are 3-1 in five-set contests this fall. Rider is also 2-2 in true road matches and 2-1 in neutral-site clashes. This weekend serves as the home-opening matches for the Broncs.

- Rider has won their last six home openers and is 6-1 all-time under Head Coach Chris Feliciano in the first home game of the season. The Broncs have also won four of their last five MAAC home openers. Since Feliciano took the helm, Rider is 5-2 in their first home conference match of the year.

- On Tuesday, September 4, Feliciano earned his 100th career victory at Rider. He became just the second coach in program history to reach the milestone. He enters the weekend with a career record of 102-122. He is the second winningest coach in program history and is 11 wins away from the most  victories in program history.

- In the first match of the season, senior Hailey Riede became the eighth player in program history to record 1,000 career kills. Riede is the fourth player under Feliciano to reach the milestone. In the first 32 years of the program, four players recorded 1,000 career kills. In Feliciano's eight seasons the same number of student-athletes have accomplished the feat.

- Through two weeks of competitive action, freshman setter Anilee Sher has twice been named the MAAC Rookie of the Week. On Tuesday, she was tabbed as the MAAC Co-Rookie of the Week. Sher has recorded four straight double-doubles. Through the first seven matches of her career, she has amassed 258 assists and 77 digs. She is currently averaging 8.90 assists per set and 2.66 digs per set.

- Also on Tuesday, junior Rachelle Runyon was named the MAAC Libero of the Week. It was her first career weekly award from the league. She averaged 4.11 digs per set and had a receiving percentage of .850. In a five-set win against St. Francis Brooklyn, she racked up 14 digs. She followed that up with a career-high 29 digs in a five-set win over Kent State. Runyon also added 18 digs in a four-set win against NJIT and 17 digs in a match versus La Salle. For her efforts last weekend, she was named to the La Salle Invitational All-Tournament Team. Anilee Sher was also named to the La Salle Invitational All-Tournament Team.
