Bonnies’ Weekly Schedule

Winning WaysFor the second time since 1981 and the first time ever at the division i level, the Bonnies posted three consecutive winning seasons. Prior to the Bonnies arrival in division i, Bona tallied four straight winning seasons between 1977 and 1981 as well as back-to-back positive campaigns in 1984-85 and 1985 all under former boss Mary Jane Telford.

Familiar FacesThe Bonnies face 24 of the same opponents as last year including 10 non-conference foes. St. Bonaven-ture went 18-8 against these oppon-ense, going 8-2 in non-conference play, falling to only Bowling Green and later-ranked Marist. The Brown and White added a victory against Temple for the first time in seven years and beat eventual A-10 tournament Champion Charlotte to close out the regular season schedule. St. Bonaventure also upsetranked Michigan State at the Reilly Center to earn its first votes in the Associate Press (AP) Top 25 Poll .

Atlantic 10 EfficiencyLast year’s squad opened A-10 play with two wins for the first time since the 2001-02 season. After a four-game Atlantic 10 winning streak in February, the Brown and White also established the school mark for most A-10 wins with nine victories. The fourth place finish is the team’s best position in the final standings since the 2003-04 season when the A-10 was divided into regions.

G-ForceDana Mitchell scored her 1,000th career point in a 71-67 win at Akron on November 22. Mitchell became the 16th member of the 1,000 point club, needing only 63 games to reach the milestone. Katelyn Murray also earned a nod into the club after scor-ing her 1,000th point on February 10 at home against Rhode island. Mitchell and Murray became the 16th and 17th players in program history to enter the exclusive club in the school’s 38 seasons of collegiate basketball.

all-Conference accoladesFor the second consecutive season, Dana Mitchell and Katelyn Mur-ray were each cited by the Atlantic 10 Conference with postseason honors conducted by the league’s head coaches and sports information directors. Head coach Jim Crowley also made history by being named the 2008-09 Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year, becoming the first coach in program history to earn the honor. Murray earned a spot on the Aca-demic All-Conference team. Murray’s selection was the second of her career as well as the 15th overall Academic All-Conference selection for the Bonnies. Mitchell is the fifth player to notch multiple All-Conference honors and the seventh player in program history to make the second squad. She is the first Bonnie to be named to the second team twice since Stefanie Collins’ selection in 2004-05.

rewriting HistorySt. Bonaventure made history in several different ways on its way to a record-setting season. First, the Brown and White beat nation-ally ranked Michigan State 63-52, on Bob Lanier Court. The Bonnies received their first postseason opportunity with a bid to the WNIT. St. Bonaventure then went on to defeat West Virginia in the first round and Wisconsin in the second. The 1997-98 squad is the only other team in program history to beat two BCS schools in the same season, when they beat Syracuse and Northwestern. Also, the win against WVu was the first postseason victory by any of the Big 4 women’s basketball teams in the division i era.

Court smartsSenior Katelyn Murray was named to the ESPN the Magazine Aca-demic All-America second team, as selected by the College Sports infor-mation directors of America. Murray’s ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America nomination is her second in as many years, as she made third team in the 2007-08 season. Murray graduated with a 4.0 grade point average in biology.

As a team, for the sixth time in the last seven academic years, St. Bo-naventure earned a spot on the Women’s Basketball Coaches Associa-tion (WBCA) Academic Team Honor Roll as the Bonnies ranked 16th in the country among NCAA division i institutions with a cumulative team grade point average of 3.35.

it’s raining threesLast season, St. Bonaventure shot 42 percent from beyond the three-point line, which ranked first in the A-10 and 19th in the nation. The Brown and White made at least six trifectas in a contest 18 times, while shooting at least 40 percent 12 times last season. Three players (Kate-lyn Murray, erica schiefen and Jessica Jenkins) nailed 142 combined three-pointers. Murray ended her career ranking third on the St. Bo-naventure all-time three-pointers made list with 197

Double Figures ClubThe Brown and White owned an 8-3 record last season when someone scored 20 or more points in a game. Dana Mitchell led the way in 20-point games with eight and Katelyn Murray tallied behind her with four. When senior ashley edwards had a 10-point game against Ford-ham, all 10 of the Bonnies in coach Crowley’s regular rotation scored in double figures at least once last season. Mitchell led the way with 31 double figure scoring outputs, while Murray notched 21 double figure games.

1,000-500 ClubDana Mitchell collected the 500th rebound of her career in the Brown and White’s loss to duquesne on February 18. With that milestone rebound, Mitchell became just the eighth player in the 38-year history of St. Bonaventure women’s basketball to score 1,000 points and grab 500 rebounds in their career.

two-Minute WarningSt. Bonaventure showed a knack for putting opposing teams away down the stretch last season. The Bonnies were an incredible 21-0 when leading in a game with less than two minutes remaining in the game.

- Returns to the lineup after sitting out last season due to injury

Crowley says:“It will be key for us to get Tiara on the floor and hopefully our training staff can make that happen. T is a point guard through and through. Her whole game is about making other people better. She is an incredible rebounder from the guard position and a really fierce competitor who is a great leader and communicator with her teammates. She will do some things in the stat sheet that will help us, but she’ll do even more behind the scenes that will help us become a very good team.”

- Saw action in eight games in her rookie season

Crowley says:“She worked really hard in the off season, she im-proved her conditioning and consistency with her 3-point shot. We are going to have her defend forwards more this year and how she adjusts to that will determine how much she helps us on the game floor. In practice, she’s an invaluable asset to what we do to improve.”

- Named to Preseason All-Conference first team- Is only 37 points away from a career 1,500 points- Started every game in the past two seasons

Crowley says:“We’re expecting a very big senior year from Dana. Obviously she’s been able to do things her whole career, but what Dana does better than anyone is put the ball in the basket. She did that well last year, but not as well as she’s capable of. She had a down year last year and even with all of our team success her health and some other things weren’t where they needed to be and she didn’t have the year she’s capable of. She came back in great shape this year and has something to prove. Last year she was preseason first team, ended up on the second team. She has something to prove that she’s an elite level player in the Atlantic 10 and we feel in the country and its up to her to prove that.”

Crowley says:“Cyndra, if nothing else, is going to help us in prac-tice. She is just so athletic and can really guard every position.

She has had an amazing offseason and preseason and has a great mentality and really shoots the ball well. Jess can do some different things to get her shot off as well. She is going to have games where she’s not going to make shots, but she will still make a big impact for us. She’s a kid we need to step into a bigger role for us and we’re confident she can do that.”

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – The St. Bonaventure women’s basketball team started its season off right shutting down Binghamton in a 63-42 victory in the Events Center on Friday night. Withthevictory,theBonniesearnedtheirfifthstraightwintostartthenewseasonandtheirseventh opening day victory overall under head coach Jim Crowley. Tonight’s win is also the Bonnies fourth in four tries against America East member Binghamton, all of which have come in the past three seasons. “It was a good start to the season. We defended well, but our offensive isn’t where it needs to be,” said head coach Jim Crowley. “We did get the contributions from people like Jess Jenkins and Alaina Walker that we needed today.” Sophomore Jessica Jenkins stepped up in the second half hitting 3-for-3 three-pointers and going 4-4 from the line to lead the Bonnies with 17 points. Senior Dana Mitchell also pitched in netting 15. The Bearcats took advantage of a slow offensive start for the Bonnies used a rebound on a missed layup for Erica Carter to put up a 3-point bucket to even the score at 14-14 with 9:38 leftinthefirsthalf. St. Bonaventure kicked its opening game jitters as redshirt sophomore Armelia Horton started a seven-point run. Freshman Alaina Walker’slayupclosedtherunat6:22inthefirsthalf, putting the Bonnies up 21-14 The Bonnies made use of Binghamton scoring only one 3-pointer to close the half going on a 10-point run off two consecutive Mitchell layups for a perfect 5-for-5 half and lead the Bon-nies to a 31-17 halftime margin. A pair from the charity stripe from sophomore Megan Van Tatenhove started the second stanza in which the Bonnies never looked back going up as much as 25 late in the half. Senior Andrea Doneth continued the Bonnies’ lead when she threw up a last-second shot to beat the shot clock with a 3-point bucket and push the lead to 43-24. Jenkins and Walker hit consecutive layups followed by Jenkins’ 3-pointer and two charity stripe points in less than three minutes to swell the Bonnies’ lead to 52-28.
