The 12 conference wins were also a new program record as well. The team ended the year 19-11 overall. The 19 wins were the most for the team under Head Coach Chris Feliciano and were the most for Rider since the team won 20 in 1994. The Broncs advanced to the MAAC Championship Semifinals for the first time in program history as well.
