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. You can catch Sunday's game live on 107.7 The Bronc with Jeff Nolan and Chris Mackowiak on the call.

- Rider and Manhattan are playing for the 47th time in the series history with Manhattan holding a 29-17 advantage. The Broncs have had the edge of late, winning each of the last five meetings between the two teams. Under Head Coach Lynn Milligan, Rider is 9-11 against the Jaspers.

- The Jaspers enter Sunday's matinee with a 3-12 overall record and 1-3 mark in conference play thanks to defeating Iona, 53-33, on Friday. All three of Manhattan's wins have been by double-digits this year. Offensively, it is a balanced attack for the Jaspers with three players averaging over seven points per game. Gabby Cajou leads the way with over eight points per game. She also has not played since December 4 against Lafayette. Courtney Warley has started all 15 games this year for Manhattan. She is pouring in over seven points per game and grabbing a MAAC-leading 8.3 rebounds per tilt. She has recorded a pair of double-doubles this season and is coming off a 14-rebound performance against the Gaels. Warley also ranks third in the MAAC in steals this year. As a team, Manhattan is second in the league in three-point field-goal percentage defense (.301), blocks per game (3.7) and steals per game (9.73).

- Junior Amari Johnson did it all for the Broncs in the win over the Peacocks on Friday. She scored a game-high 17 points and grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds. She also set a new career-high in blocks with four. Amari added three steals and three assists, while shooting 6-of-16 from the field. She hit two shots from three-point range and converted on three free-throw attempts.

- Rider had 21 assists in the victory over Saint Peter's on Friday. Seven different players registered dimes for the Broncs, led by senior point guard Lexi Posset with a career-high nine assists. Stella Johnson added five assists for the Broncs in the home win. It marked the second time this season that the team has recorded over 20 assists. Rider has won both of those games this year.

- Rider had 14 steals in the victory over Saint Peter's. It marked the sixth time this year that the Broncs registered 10 or more steals and they are 5-1 in such games. Rider has racked up 14 or more steals in two of their last three conference games. Against SPU on Friday, sophomore Daija Moses set a new career-high with four steals. Three different Broncs had three or more steals versus the Peacocks.

- Rider enters the weekend leading the MAAC with over four blocked shots per game. Last time out, the Broncs tied a season-high with seven blocks. It was the third time this season that the new recorded seven blocked shots. Amari Johnson had a career-high four blocks in the win against Saint Peter's. The seven blocks were the most since Rider swatted nine shots against Manhattan in the regular-season finale a year ago.
