WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
- Rider enters the third weekend of MAAC play with a 6-5 overall record and a 2-2 mark in league play. Rider has split each of its first two weekends of MAAC play. Winning matches in three sets against Quinnipiac and Niagara.  

- The Broncs are 3-2 in five-set contests this fall. The team is 2-3 in three-set matches (with both wins coming in conference play) and 1-0 in four-game tilts. At home, the Broncs are 1-1 this year with an impressive win against Quinnipiac and a five-game setback to defending conference champion Fairfield.

- 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 104-124. He is the second winningest coach in program history and is nine 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. She currently ranks sixth in program history with 1,092 kills. She is 28 kills away from being in the top-five all-time in Rider volleyball history.

- Freshman setter Anilee Sher has twice been named the MAAC Rookie of the Week already this season. She is averaging over nine assists per set and 2.86 digs per set. She leads the team with 403 assists, ranks first on the team in service aces with 21 and she is second the squad with 123 digs. Sher has also recorded a team-high seven double-doubles.  

- Earlier this month, 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 early September, Runyon and Sher were both named to the La Salle Invitational All-Tournament Team.

- Marist leads the all-time series with Rider, 26-17. The Broncs are looking to avenge a 3-2 setback to the Red Foxes in the first round of the MAAC Tournament last fall. The two squads have split the last four meetings with two of those matches going to five games. In both of the instances, Marist was victorious.

- Siena leads the all-time series with the Broncs, 29-7. The two teams split their season series last year with each team winning on their home court. In 2016, the Saint knocked the Broncs out of the MAAC Tournament after Rider swept the regular-season series.

- Offensively, Savannah Logan has a team-high 126 kills this season. She has added 99 digs as well to go along with 11 blocks. Logan has recorded four double-doubles this year.

- Hailey Riede has been a force in limited action for the Broncs. She was 100 kills in 29 sets played. She is leading the team with 3.45 kills per set and she also has a team-high .277 hitting percentage. Riede has recorded 10 or more kills in a match six times, including five of her last six appearances.

- At the net, senior Perry Williams had a team-best 38 total blocks (9 solo blocks, 29 block assists). She has recorded six or more block assists in three matches in 2018. In the middle, Williams is third on the squad with 64 kills.  

- Defensively, Runyon leads the team with 170 digs, while Sher is second with 123. On the backline, Brynn Sherbert has chipped in 99 digs, while Danielle Blanco has contributed 93 digs.
