A victory against URI would give SBU the title outright, but it clinched the top seed with Wednesday’s win due to a 74-65 triumph at Temple earlier this season. ~ The Bonnies own the nation’s best road team as they are 12-0 on the year, one of just three unbeatens on the road (No. 1 Baylor – 9-0; No. 12 Green Bay – 10-0). The 12 wins are tied for the second most in the country. ~ Currently sitting at 13-0 in the A-10, the Bonnies’ previous-best conference record was 9-5 – a mark set each of the last three years. St. Bonaventure (enrollment: 2,000; Olean population: 14,000) is looking to join Xavier, George Washington, Temple and former A-10 member West Virginia as the only schools to run the league regular-season table. ~ Xavier (enrollment: 7,000; Cincinnati population: 297,000) and George Washington (enrollment: 20,000; Washington D.C. population: 618,000) have each run the table twice, while Temple (enrollment: 37,000; Philadelphia population: 1.5 million) and West Virginia (enrollment: 29,000; Morgantown population: 30,000) has each gone undefeated once. ~ The Bonnies are riding a program-best 15-game winning streak. They already own program records for wins in December (seven) and January (eight), and with a victory over Rhode Island will set a February record with their seventh triumph. ~ Rhode Island – which has lost 25 games in a row – ranks last in the A-10 in both scoring offense and scoring defense at 49.8 per game and 66.6 per game, respectively. Meanwhile, SBU paces the league in scoring defense at 53.8 per game – a category they have led in the conference each of the last two years.

Three TimeS The chariTySt. Bonaventure boasts three of the best five free-throw shooters in A-10 history in terms of made free throws in a career. Hilary Waltman, who grad-uated in 1999, ranks second on the all-time conference list with 588, Sue Shay, ’92, ranks third with 524 and Dana Mitchell, ’10, ranks fifth with 474. By owning three of the top five free throw shooters in a respective conference, Bonaventure is the only school in Division I history which holds that honor.
3-pOinT uWith her six 3-pointers against Charlotte on Jan. 21, Jessica Jenkins not only took sole possession of the program record in that category, but also the A-10 record. Jenkins currently has 321 made 3’s in her career. The school – and conference – record was 291, held by Suzie Dailer. Dailer, who played at Bona’s from 1992-95, actually shared the all-time league mark with Cathy Jones of George Washington. Additionally, 2006 SBU grad Stefanie Collins currently ranks fourth on that list with 288 3’s. With Jenkins becoming the leading 3-point shooter in A-10 history, St. Bona is the only school in the na-tion with three of the top four 3-point shooters (in terms of made field goals) in any respective conference in women’s basketball Division I history.
amOng The naTiOn’S eliTeSt. Bonaventure finished the 2011-12 campaign ranked among the nation’s best in several statistical categories. The Bonnies ranked in the top-10 in 3-point field-goal percentage (6th/38%) and turnovers per game (7th/13.8 per game). The Brown and White also ranked inside the top-50 in three other categories: scoring defense (23rd/55.2 per game); free-throw percentage (31st/74.4%); 3-point field goals per game (44th/6.8 per game).
a ‘BOna’ fide leagueThe A-10 finished the 2010-11 campaign ranked 7th among the 31 Division I conferences in the official NCAA RPI Report, ranking behind only the “Big 6” – Big 12, ACC, BIG EAST, SEC, Big Ten and Pac-10 (now Pac-12). However, no conference except the BIG EAST had MORE teams finish in the top 80 of the RPI than the A-10. The A-10 had eight schools in the top-80 – the same amount as the Big 12, Big Ten, ACC and SEC. St. Bonaventure finished 70th, and it was joined by Xavier (10), Temple (35), Charlotte (49), Dayton (50), Saint Joseph’s (68) and Richmond (77).
1,000-pOinT duOSenior Jessica Jenkins became the 19th member of the 1,000 Point Club during a 23-point performance against West Virginia Nov. 18. Jenkins joined classmate Megan Van Tatenhove on the list as the Wisconsin native became the 18th member of the club last year in the opening round of the Atlantic 10 Championship.
defenSive prOweSSFor the second consecutive year in 2010-11, St. Bonaventure led the A-10 in scoring defense. SBU held its opponents to an average of 55.2 points per game, one season after leading the A-10 at 54.1 points per outing. While five other schools in history have led the conference in scoring defense back-to-back years, no school has been as stringent as the Brown and White. The 54.6 combined scoring defense average the last two years by the Bonnies is THE BEST by any school in consecutive years in the history of the A-10.
BirThday girlSNot only are Jessica Jenkins and Megan Van Tatenhove St. Bonaventure’s two leading scorers, but they also share the same birthday: May 11, 1990.
3-pOinT efficiency aT iTS aBSOluTe BeSTFor the fourth consecutive season in 2010-11, St. Bonaventure led the Atlantic 10 in 3-point field goal percentage, connecting at a 38.2-percent clip (224-587). By leading the A-10 in 3-point shooting percentage four straight years, St. Bonaventure is the only school in the history of Division I women’s basketball to lead a conference in that category for four straight seasons. In 2009-10, the Bonnies shot 38.5 percent from 3-point range; in 2008-09 they shot 36.4 percent and in 2007-08 they also shot 36.4 percent. No other school in the A-10 has accomplished this feat more than two years in a row.

laTe run clincheS a-10 regular-SeaSOn crOwn fOr BOnnieSST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – Sophomore CeCe Dixon hit a 3-pointer to spear-head a late 7-0 run by No. 19/22 St. Bonaventure (26-2, 13-0 Atlantic 10 Conference) as the Bonnies got past a defensive-minded Fordham squad, 52-45, to clinch at least a share of their first A-10 regular-season title. With the win, St. Bonaventure clinched the No. 1 seed at next weekend’s 2012 Buick A-10 Women’s Basketball Championship. If the Bonnies defeat 1-27 Rhode Island in Providence on Saturday, they will earn the regular-
season crown outright as Temple – even with a win Saturday – can get no better than 13-1 in A-10. The women’s basketball team becomes the first squad in school history to win a regular-season A-10 title as it ran its program-best winning streak to 15 straight. Despite once again being blanketed by a defender, senior Jessica Jenkins led all scorers with 17 points. Classmate Megan Van Tatenhove added 14 points – 11 of which came in the second half – to help SBU erase a six-point halftime deficit. Trailing by one with seven minutes remaining, junior Jordan McGee found Dixon on the wing with a ball reversal to give the Bonnies their first lead, 39-37, since the 10-minute mark of the first half. Van Tatenhove followed Dixon’s triple with a pull-up jumper and Jenkins capped the minute-and-a-half spurt with a pair of free throws to give SBU what was then its largest lead of the night. Fordham (11-17, 2-11 A-10) used a 20-10 first-half rebounding edge and five 3-pointers to take a 27-21 halftime lead. The Rams – who entered as statistically the best defensive team in the league – took control of the game in the opening stanza by packing four defenders in the paint and smothering Jenkins on the perimeter save for a couple brief looks which the sharp-shooter turned into two 3-pointers. However, the second half was a different story as the Bonnies – who entered as statistically the second-best defensive team in the league – outscored the Rams, 31-18, in the final 20 minutes.
BeST in The SpOTlighTBonaventure defeated Xavier, 66-48, in front of a national TV audience on CBS Sports Network last Saturday. It was Bona’s second national TV game of the year, and they have won both by 18 points (La Salle, 75-57). Also in each contest, Bona’s two senior stars were on display as Jessica Jenkins tallied 28 points against the Explorers and Megan Van Taten-hove netted 24 versus the Musketeers.
J.J. hiTS J’SJessica Jenkins currently has 93 made 3-point-ers on the year, which checks in as the third best total in a single season in program his-tory. Jenkins owns the record after she hit 100 last year in 33 games, while Suzie Dailer is second with 99 made in 1992-93. The Ohio native also owns the fourth position on the list as she knocked down 89 in 2009-10.
recOrd reverSalThe meeting with Rhode Island will be head coach Jim Crowley’s fourth career game on the SBU sidelines in which he has a career record at Bonaventure over .500. Crowley has gone 123-57 since the midway point of the 2006-07 season to get his record at Bona to 180-176. Prior to that time, Crowley had a career record of 57-119 at Bonaventure. (More on Page 11)
all-Time win leaderSThe senior class of Jessica Jenkins, Megan Van Tatenhove, Armelia Horton and Jennie Ashton is the all-time winningest class in school his-tory, earning their 94th career victory with a win over Fordham on Wednesday. Additionally, with 111 wins, redshirt senior Horton is the winningest player – either men’s or women’s – in Bonaventure basketball history. The senior class surpassed the 2011 group as the win-ningest in program history as Cara Gustafson
and Amanda Johnson graduated with 85 vic-tories.
nOT QuiTe a ‘minuTe’ deTailSenior Jessica Jenkins has been – by compari-son to her teammates – a workhorse for the Bonnies this year as she averages a team-high 31.9 minutes a game. Sophomore Doris Or-tega is the next closest as she averages 26.9 minutes per game. In A-10 games the dispar-ity is even more drastic as Jenkins plays 34.9 minutes a contest, while senior Megan Van Tatenhove is the next closest at 27.2 minutes.
STeppin’ upSophomore CeCe Dixon has already recorded 10 double-figure scoring games this season, as last year she reached that plateau just once. Dixon is the third-leading scorer on the team at 7.5 per game, and has tallied 210 points this campaign after netting 99 all of last year.
1k pOinTS & 500 BOardSWith her first rebound against Duquesne on Jan. 7, senior Megan Van Tatenhove became just the ninth member of the program’s 1,000 Point & 500 Rebound Club. The rebound against the Dukes was part of her sixth career double-double as Van Tatenhove finished with 13 points and a season-high 11 rebounds. The Wisconsin native is the first Bona player to join the club since Dana Mitchell in 2010, and she currently has 1,360 points (10th all-time) and 586 rebounds (9th all-time).
pOSSeSSiOn iS nine-TenThSThe Bonnies commit just 11.6 turnovers per game – best in the nation – but they are even more stingy with the ball when the game is on the line. Of their 325 giveaways, 175 have come in the first half (53.5 percent) while 150 have come in the final 20 minutes. Additionally,

in the final five minutes the Bonnies have committed just 33 turnovers, and in their 12 road contests in the final five minutes, they have given the ball away just five times.
cluTch laTeMuch like the late-game possession, Bonaventure connects from the free-throw line in pressure moments compared with their opponents. Currently 18th in the nation at 75.7 percent as a team from the line, the Bonnies are 105-145 (72.4 percent) in the final five minutes of games while their opponents are just 56-81 (69.1 percent). The Bonnies are 44-64 (68.8 percent) from the stripe in the last five minutes of their road games, while those home teams are just 26-40 (65 percent).
ScOring marginThe Bonnies have a scoring margin of +10.7 on the year – second-best in the league and one of only two A-10 teams with a positive double-figure scoring margin. SBU averages 64.5 points per game and allows just 53.8. Only one school in the nation, South Carolina, has a greater scoring margin which averages fewer points per game than St. Bonaventure.
diverSifying her gameSenior Jessica Jenkins – one of the best 3-point shooters in the nation – has gradually diversified her scoring game since stepping foot on campus. As a freshman, 77.4 percent of Jenkins’ 151 points came off 3-pointers.
She lowered that percentage to 71.7 her sophomore year, decreased it even further to 69.2 her junior campaign and this season it’s at an all-time low of 67.3 percent. What’s more impressive is that Jenkins has increased her scoring average and 3-pointers made each season. She’s the current Atlantic 10 Conference 3-point record holder as she has hit 321 in her career.
a.w. iS a-OkJunior Alaina Walker – one of the team’s best defensive players – has proven to be an offensive weapon as well this year. Against Sacred Heart on Jan. 3 she tallied a career-high 18 points, and followed that up with an 11-point performance against Duquesne on Jan. 7. The back-to-back double-figure point games represent the first time Walker has done that this season and just the second time in her career. The other came last year on Jan. 29 against Massachusetts and Feb. 2 opposite Dayton when she netted 11 and 10, respectively.
Big 4 dOminanceSt. Bonaventure has won 15 straight games over Big 4 rivals. The 15 consecutive victories is the longest such streak in the history of Big 4 women’s basketball. The Bonnies have not lost to a Big 4 school since Nov. 19, 2006, when the University at Buffalo defeated them at the St. Bonaventure Shootout, 67-59.

STarTing QuarTeT With a 79-55 win against Morgan State on Nov. 20, Bonaventure got off to a 4-0 start for the sixth time in school history. Five of those six occasions have come in the last seven years. The only other season a Bona team got off to a 4-0 start was the 1992-93 club.
dOuBle-digiT TrendWith its victory against Marist on Dec. 18, the Brown and White extended its streak to six straight years of double-digit regular-season non-conference wins. The stretch is currently
7
game nOTeS #19/22 ST. BOnavenTure @ uri feB. 25, 2012
the longest in program history. The only other season aside from the previous five years that SBU claimed double-digit non-league wins in the regular season was 1992-93 when it won 11.
naTiOnal Tv expOSureSt. Bonaventure has appeared on national TV two times during the regular season, as both oc-casions aired on CBS Sports Network. The first came in a contest at La Salle on Jan. 28 at 1 p.m., and the second occurred against perennial power Xavier on Feb. 18. If the Bonnies make the semifinals of the A-10 Championship, they will once again appear on CBS Sports, while the title game is on ESPN2.
She’S nOT prOBaBleJessica Jenkins has started 94 straight games, dating back to the beginning of her sophomore season in 2009-10. Megan Van Tatenhove had started 58 consecutive contests, dating back to the middle of the 2009-10 year, but had that streak stopped Dec. 16 against Niagara due to a head injury.
nyc pipelineThe 2011-12 Bonnies boast four players from New York City, all from Queens and Harlem: fresh-man Tatiana Wilson; sophomores CeCe Dixon and Doris Ortega; redshirt senior Armelia Horton. Additionally, Dixon, Ortega and Horton all went to the same high school, Murry Bergtraum.
a numBer SayS a lOT51.6 percent of 12th-year head coach Jim Crow-ley’s wins at St. Bonaventure have come in the last 3+ years. Crowley, who took over prior to the 2000-01 season, has won 93 of his 180 games at Bonaventure since the start of the 2008-09 campaign. Furthermore, Crowley won his 200th career game Dec. 7 vs. Indiana.
did yOu knOw?St. Bonaventure is one of only three schools in A-10 history with two players who have scored 2,000 or more points. Hilary Waltman, 1996-99, checks in at No. 7 on the all-time list with 2,106 points, while Dana Mitchell, 2007-10, is No. 11 with 2,011 points. Xavier, which occupies the No. 4 and 5 slots, and Saint Joseph’s, which owns the No. 3 and 8 positions, are the only other A-10 schools with multiple 2,000-point scorers.
lOve frOm eSpnIn the most recent ESPN.com Mid-Major Rankings on Feb. 13, Graham Hays ranks the Bonnies 2nd among the non-BCS conference teams. Here’s what Hays had to say: The Bonnies remain per-fect in 2012, and the math starts to look pretty simple to complete a perfect conference sea-son and claim the No. 1 seed in the Atlantic 10 tournament. Along with an earlier win at Temple, Feb. 11’s 56-55 win at Dayton might have been the most impressive of the conference slate (al-though those nonconference road wins at West Virginia and St. John’s also gained some sheen after those teams went to Notre Dame and Rut-gers, respectively, and won on Feb. 12). Against
career afTernOOnSenior Jessica Jenkins established a career high in points when she netted 33 in the regular-season finale last year in a win against Charlotte. As part of those 33 points, the Marion, Ohio product set a program record by knocking down nine 3-pointers. Not only did that give her the school record, but it also tied her with three others for the A-10 record for made 3’s in a game.
leaderS Once againFor the second straight year in 2010-11, St. Bonaventure led the A-10 in free-throw percentage, connect-ing at a 74.4-percent clip. In 2009-10, the Bonnies shot 79.8 percent from the charity stripe, and that per-centage ranks as the second highest in conference history behind only the 81.5 percent Saint Joseph’s shot in 2000-01. St. Bona is the first school to defend its free-throw percentage crown since Saint Joe’s in 2000-01 and 2001-02. Furthermore, last season was the eighth time in history that the Bonnies have led the A-10 in free-throw percentage, and that is the most of any school in the history of the conference.
BOmBS awayAs a team, St. Bonaventure made 16 3-pointers in its regular-season finale last year against Charlotte, paced by a program-record nine from Jessica Jenkins. That total ranks as the sec-ond highest in the history of the A-10 in a single game, bested only by the 17 Xavier knocked down against McNeese State in 2007. However, in conference games only, the 16 3’s by the Bon-nies beat the previous record of 14 held by Richmond in a 2008 game against Massachusetts.
inSide-OuT reTurning cOmBOSenior forward Megan Van Tatenhove returns as the second-leading scorer in the A-10 after averaging 14.5 points per game last year, while senior guard Jessica Jenkins returns as the leading 3-point shooter in the conference after knocking down 100 3’s last campaign. However, in conference games only, Van Tatenhove averaged 16.2 points per game, tying her with Dayton’s Justine Raterman as the league’s highest-returning scorer in that category. Jenkins averaged 13.1 points per outing, making her and Van Tatenhove one of just two sets of returning teammates in the A-10 who averaged 13 or more points per game last year. The other is the senior duo of Shey Peddy (14.1) and Kristen McCarthy (13.2) from Temple.

a-10 STreakingThe Brown and White enter action against Rhode Island riding
the longest unbeaten streak in regular-season conference
action. The Bonnies have won 17 straight A-10 games in the
regular season. After getting off to a 5-5 mark in league play
last year, Bona won its last four games to finish tied for 3rd in
the standings at 9-5. Only Xavier, which went 14-0 in the A-10
last year, entered this season with a longer unbeaten streak,
but it dropped its first three league games this campaign.
At the conclusion of the regular season on Feb. 26, the top
12 teams will advance to the 2012 Atlantic 10 Women’s
Basketball Championship in Philadelphia, Pa. First round
action of the Championship tips off on Friday, March 2, with the

Dayton, the Bonnies got just three points from Jessica Jenkins, but showed they have other go-to options (17 points, 8 rebounds by Megan Van Tatenhove) and plenty of depth (13 points off the bench from CeCe Dixon).
naTiOnal recOgniTiOnIn addition to its current ranking in the na-tional polls, the Bonnies received votes in the Associated Press Poll for six weeks earlier this year (Dec. 19, 26; Jan. 9, 16, 23, 30). Bona also received votes in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll for three weeks (Jan. 24, 31; Feb. 7).
a very merry decemBer & a happy new yearFor the first time in program history, St. Bo-naventure won seven games in the month of December. The Bonnies went 7-1, with the only setback coming to -/rv Villanova at a neutral site. They then followed that up with a program-best 8-0 mark in January.
TOugh, BuT SucceSSful, SleddingA challenging non-conference slate precluded the always-difficult A-10 docket as the Bonnies faced eight teams which made postseason appearances last year, including three which advanced to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament. The Bonnies went an impressive 7-1 against those teams, including a resounding 3-0 mark against schools which went to the Second Round of the NCAA
Tournament last season (St. John’s; West Virginia; Marist).
familiar fOeSOf St. Bonaventure’s 15 non-conference games, 11 were against teams the Bonnies squared off with last year. SBU went 7-4 in those games last year, but this year it avenged all those losses as it defeated No. 25/rv St. John’s in the season opener, won at West Virginia, 56-48, downed Morgan State, 79-55, and defeated Indiana, 65-45.
can’T Teach experienceJessica Jenkins has played in more games than any other true senior in the A-10. The Ohio native has logged action in every single game since her freshman year, and currently has 128 appearances. Here are the closest games-played competitors for true seniors in the conference:
rOad warriOrSWith its win at Dayton on Feb. 11, St. Bonaventure extended its road record to 12-0 to start the 2011-12 season for the first time in program history. Bonaventure has had a winning road record in each of the last four seasons. The only other year beside the last four that happened was when the 1991-92 club went 7-6 away from the Reilly Center. Over the last five years, including this season, Bona is an impressive 46-25 on the road.
prOgram hiSTOryThe win over No. 25/rv St. John’s on Nov. 12 was the program’s first ever road victory against a nationally ranked team and just the third over a nationally ranked team in school history. The other two triumphs both came at home – against No. 14/13 George Washington, 63-60, on Feb. 16, 2008, and opposite No. 21/24 Michigan State, 63-52, on Dec. 7, 2008. The win over the Red Storm was also the program’s first over a BCS opponent since it won at Wisconsin, 56-51, in the Third Round of the WNIT on March 26, 2009.
gOOd frOm The STarTWith its victory against No. 25/rv St. John’s, the Brown and White has now won seven straight season openers, dating back to a 73-70 loss to Colgate to kick off the 2004-05 year. Furthermore, St. Bona has not lost a road game to start the season since head coach Jim Crowley’s first year at the helm of the Bonnies in 2000-01 – a 97-75 loss against Cincinnati. The current streak of seven consecutive season-opening victories is the longest in program history.
The gang’S all BackSt. Bonaventure returns all five starters and 92 percent of its offense from a team which went 21-12 and finished 9-5 in the Atlantic 10, advancing to its third straight Women’s National Invitation Tournament. The Bonnies finished tied for 3rd in the conference – their best-ever showing in the A-10 – and won 20+ games for the third consecutive season. Bonaventure is now one of just five A-10 schools which has won 20 or more games three straight years, joining Temple, Xavier, Dayton and Duquesne.
a-10 prOgnOSTicaTiOnSDespite returning nearly all its scoring, St. Bonaventure was picked to finish 6th in the A-10 in preseason voting conducted by the league’s 14 head coaches. Senior Megan Van Tatenhove – who entered the year as the A-10’s second-leading returning scorer – was named to the Preseason First Team. Classmate Jessica Jenkins – who broke the A-10 record for career 3-pointers earlier this
9
year – was tabbed to the Preseason Third Team.

Jim Crowley enters his 12th season as head coach and 16th overall year on the St. Bonaven-ture bench in the 2011-12 season.
Under Crowley’s guidance, the Bonnies have developed into a consistently competitive and hard-working unit on and off the court. His dedi-cation and commitment to the program has es-tablished a strong foundation of future success for the Brown and White. Crowley’s passion for the game has proved to be contagious as his en-ergy and desire to win is evident every time his team steps on the floor.
For the third straight year in 2010-11, Crowley guided his team to a 20-win season, finish-ing with a 21-12 record and trip to the Second Round of the Women’s National Invitation Tour-nament (WNIT). St. Bonaventure finished tied for 3rd in the always-competitive Atlantic 10 Confer-ence with a 9-5 record.
The season was the third-best in program his-tory, bested only by the 2009-10 and 2008-09 seasons in which the Brown and White tallied 23 wins in each. The Bonnies set a program single-season record for 3-pointers made in 2010-11 by knocking down 224 – 32 more than the sec-ond-best year in 2008-09.
In the 2009-10 campaign, the Bonnies tied a program record set the year before with 23 wins, including a program-record 21 regular-season
wins. They advanced to the WNIT for the second consecutive year, and in the process became just one of five A-10 schools to have four consecutive winning seasons.
The team opened the season with 11 consecu-tive wins – the longest winning streak in program history. It also finished in the top 10 in the nation in four different categories: free-throw percent-age (80.3/5th), 3-point percentage (38.5/7th), turnovers (13.6/7th) and scoring defense (52.7/9th).
Following a season in which the club tallied an all-time school record with 23 wins, Crowley and the Bonnies have launched themselves into a promising position for the future. For the 2008-09 season, Crowley was named Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year. He is the first coach in pro-gram history to win coach of the year. He also earned the New Balance - Basketball Coaches Association of New York (BCANY), Women’s Divi-sion I Coach of the Year.
Crowley has turned in his finest coaching per-formances on the sidelines in the last four sea-sons after directing the Bonnies to a combined 80 victories since the beginning of the 2006-07 campaign.
The 2008-09 season was one of the most suc-cessful campaigns in St. Bonaventure history, as the Bonnies broke the previous win record
by five. Crowley guided the Brown and White to their first postseason appearance and highlighted it with two wins against Big East foe West Virginia and Big Ten contender Wisconsin.
In 2008, the Bonnies beat No. 24/23 Michigan State for the third time in program history. After the victory, St. Bonaventure received a vote in the AP Top 25 poll for the first time in program history. The team’s 15-5 start was the best start after 20 games since the pro-gram’s inception.
The Bonnies won nine Atlantic 10 games in the 2008-09 season, including wins against Temple and Char-lotte, setting a program record for most conference wins in a single season. The 55-52 victory against Tem-ple was the first win against the Owls in seven years.
St. Bonaventure finished the season in a four-way tie for fourth place in the A-10 with its 9-5 conference record. Its seventh seed in the 2009 A-10 Champion-ships tied the 2007-08 club with the highest ranking in the tournament since 1996-97.
Following a record-setting season on the court, a pair of Bonnies received postseason recognition from the Atlantic 10. Dana Mitchell earned a spot on the All-Conference Second Team for the second year, while Katelyn Murray earned a spot on the Academic All-Con-ference squad for the second consecutive year.
Under the tutelage of Crowley, Mitchell developed into one of the premier players in the conference. Mitch-ell ranks 2nd on the all-time Bona scoring chart with 2,011 career points, and holds five program records, including being the only member of the 2,000-point and 700-rebound club.
The Brown and White jumped out of the 2007-08 open-ing tip to the tune of a then program-best 11-2 start before finishing non-conference play with a then all-time high of 12 victories heading into Atlantic 10 ac-tion. Crowley led the Bonnies to their highest league finish since 1996-97 as the team exceeded preseason expectations with a seventh-place finish. The club’s six league triumphs were the most since 2001-02.
Crowley and Bonnies achieved great success despite taking on a heavy road schedule, including a 10-game span away from the Reilly Center. The Brown and White notched the fifth most true road triumphs in the nation with 10, and matched the longest road winning streak in school history with six. The club’s 18-win season was highlighted by a 63-60 upset of No. 14/13 George Washington on Bob Lanier Court. The victory marked the program’s second ever win over a nationally ranked opponent in the 37-year history of women’s basketball at St. Bonaventure.
Following a record-setting season on the court, a pair of Bonnies earned postseason honors from the Atlantic 10. Mitchell followed up an All-Rookie campaign with a selection to the All-Conference Second Team, while Murray earned a spot on the Academic All-Conference squad. For her sophomore performance, Mitchell be-came the third Bonnie and fifth sophomore ever to lead the conference in scoring thanks to an 18.1 point per game average.

wilSOn family fund raiSeS nearly $20,000The St. Bonaventure Department of Athletics, in conjunction with University Ministries, has collected nearly $20,000 as part of the Wilson Family Assistance Program for freshman women’s basketball player Tatiana Wil-son.
University officials established the fund last month to help Wilson’s family, whose house in Far Rockaway, Queens, was destroyed by fire early in the morning Dec. 13.
University Ministries accepted almost $19,000 in cash and checks and nearly $1,000 in gift cards. Additionally, 15 large boxes containing clothes, toiletries and other supplies were donated to the family.
“I want to thank the St. Bonaventure University and Olean communities from the bottom of my heart for all their support and contributions to our family over the past month,” Temeka Wilson, Tatiana’s mother, said. “Our family is very blessed to be alive, and the generosity and kindness of those who helped outside of western New York is also very much appreciated. We are extremely grateful for all donations, phone calls and well-wishes that were made, and I just want to say ‘thank you’ one more time.”
Wilson’s mother and five younger siblings jumped from their second-story home into the arms of New York City Sanitation Department workers, who saw the flames from a distance and called 911. Temeka broke her back while trying to escape, sister Amari, 12, suffered a broken leg and sister Shaina, 17, suffered third-degree burns. The family lost everything in the fire.
For those who would still like to donate to the family, cash/checks may be mailed to the following address:
