- Romano currently leads the MAAC in total kills (313), kills per set (4.54), total points (356) and points per set (5.16). She has also registered a six double-doubles this autumn. Romano is second in the nation in total points and she also ranks fourth in all of Division I in kills.

Runyon is 107 digs away from moving into sole possession of fourth-place on the Rider digs list. She has recorded 20 or more digs in a match eight times this fall.

- Quinnipiac leads the all-time series with Rider, 9-8. The Broncs and Bobcats first played in 1997. Rider has had the edge of late thanks to sweeping the regular-season series in 2018.
 
- Fairfield leads the all-time series with the Broncs, 32-5. Last year, the two teams split the regular-season series with each squad winning on the road. Rider's victory at Fairfield on October 20 of last season snapped a seven-match losing streak for the Broncs against the Stags.
