RIDER BRONCS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Metro Atlantic Athletic ConferenceD1winter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Rider University's women's basketball program operates from Alumni Gymnasium in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, serving a student body of 3,693 across the institution founded in 1865. The Broncs compete in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, where they logged a 4-12 record during the conference season while averaging 53.3 points per game against opponents tallying 62.8 per contest. Jackie Hartzell directs the 12-player roster navigating a 6-19 overall season marked by more success at home—a 4-8 record in Alumni Gymnasium—than on the road, where the Broncs managed just 2-11.

The substantial scoring disparity of 9.5 points per game has posed a significant challenge for Rider's offensive efficiency this winter. With those figures, the Broncs rank among MAAC's lower-scoring units, reflecting the team's developmental stage under Hartzell's direction. The program's home-court advantage, demonstrated by winning 33.3% of home games versus 15.4% away, underscores the importance of Alumni Gymnasium as the program's foundation.
