A portion of the funds raised during the game will be donated directly to the Agnus Berenato Endowed Scholarship, which will later be distributed annually to a deserving student who has been impacted by the effects of cancer in his or her life. Berenato coached Rider from 1981-85. During which time she complied a 60-55 record in basketball and a 68-49 mark in volleyball.

- Rider and Iona are playing for the 48th time in the all-time series history with the Gaels holding a 27-20 advantage. The Broncs have had the edge of late, winning each of the last five meeting thanks to sweeping the regular-season series in each of the last two seasons. Under Head Coach Lynn Milligan, Rider is 11-13 versus Iona. The 11 wins are her third-most against any MAAC opponent.

- Last time out, four players scored in double figures to help the Broncs knock off visiting Marist, 70-64, on Saturday afternoon. Trailing, 59-55, with under four and a half minutes left in regulation, Rider ripped off seven straight points capped by a three from Stella Johnson. Marist would battle back to tie the game at 64 with 47 seconds left in the fourth quarter. On the ensuing possession, Stella found classmate Lea Favre in the post for the eventual game-winning basket. On the defensive end, Stella would steal an errant pass by the Red Foxes following Favre's bucket. Over the final 13 seconds of play, Stella would score the game's final four points at the foul line.

- With the win on Saturday, Rider improved to 9-2 in MAAC play for the first time under Head Coach Lynn Milligan and the first time in program history. The team's previous-best 11-game start to a conference campaign was 8-3 which the team accomplished during their historic 2016-17 season.

- Rider outscored Marist, 17-8, in the second quarter on Saturday to take a 34-32 edge into halftime. This season, the Broncs are 10-1 overall and 8-0 in MAAC play when leading after 20 minutes of play. Dating back to last season, Rider has won nine games in a row and 13 of their last 14 when taking a lead into halftime.

- Amongst qualified players, junior Stella Johnson leads the MAAC in a pair of statistical categories and she ranks second in four other categories.
