Athletic Director
Bonnies Supporters,
If you have not already done so, I encourage you to purchase “A Legacy Defined,” the commemorative book on our basketball seasons. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Bonaventure Athletic Fund (BAF) to support future Bonnies. This book is full of captivating pictures by Olean resident and long-time Bonnies team photographer Craig Melvin and stories and reflections written by Bona alums Mike Vaccaro ’89 and Adrian Wojnarowski ’91 as well as many from our own staff.
Throughout the spring and summer, our Athletics Department has been filled with gratitude and satisfaction for the accomplishments of the past year as well as focused on our plan for the future. The 2011-12 academic year, as this Annual Report eloquently details, was a year that will be remembered among the best in our history. Our women’s basketball team, of course, set so many records that it is challenging to list them all, but to me the most impressive was their 14-0 record in the Atlantic 10. It was gratifying to see so many Bonnies fans rally behind this team, from impressive support in the Reilly Center, to the A-10 Championship in Philadelphia, to the NCAA Tournament games in Tallahassee and Raleigh. I congratulate head coach Jim Crowley on being named the A-10 Coach of the Year and the ESPN.com National Coach of the Year. His persistence in growing the program with student-athletes who develop as players, students and people is remarkable. Our players, especially seniors Jessica Jenkins, Megan Van Tatenhove, Armelia Horton and Jennie Ashton, deserve every accolade that they received. Of course, March was also when our men’s basketball team made its three-day run to its first Atlantic 10 Championship, earning its way back into the NCAA Tournament. Andrew Nicholson, a model student-athlete, led us in every facet. He elevated his performances in critical games, especially the A-10 title game. Congratulations to Andrew in being selected 19th in the NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic – we know the future is bright for the first player with a physics degree ever chosen in the First Round of the NBA Draft. I also congratulate all of Andrew’s teammates and the coaching staff on the A-10 title. Our team became stronger as the season went on, and that is a credit to all of them. Like the women’s team, the support the men received in both Atlantic City and Nashville was amazing to see, but not the least bit surprising given the passion of Bona Nation.
GOBONNIES.COM @GO_BONNIES
This past spring, we announced contract extensions for both head basketball coaches, Jim Crowley and Mark Schmidt. The mutual, long-term commitment by St. Bonaventure’s administration to Jim and Mark – and their dedication to us – is gratifying. Our future is bright in part because of our recently-completed Athletics Strategic Plan. This maps a five-year course to strengthen our position in the Atlantic 10 and the NCAA. The vision in the Strategic Plan has steps we need to take in order to better position our teams to succeed, starting with improved facilities. Planning and fundraising is underway for the installation of artificial turf and lights on the soccer/ lacrosse field as well as the softball field, and for a new women’s basketball locker room. We will begin to share more of the plan in the next year. We will also call on you to support the plan and know that you will respond. Thank you and go Bonnies!
P.S. – Help the Bonnies by 1) making a gift to the BAF or a project campaign; 2) buying tickets to a game; 3) proudly wearing Brown & White.

A-10 Championship
Fourth Seed Champions
The 2011-12 edition of the men’s basketball season came with the greatest of expectations. With perennial all-conference performer Andrew Nicholson returning for his senior season, this team felt that it had the ability to be something special. Nicholson would serve as the poster child for the slogan chosen to describe the men’s and women’s basketball seasons: Defining Our Legacy. A 3-3 start that saw the team lose key reserve Marquise Simmons for the season and included a loss at home to Arkansas State put the hopes of this season in jeopardy. A visit to Big Four rival Buffalo was marked as one of the games that turned around the season for the Bonnies. Buffalo was coming off a dominating win over Dayton. The Bonnies went in there and battled before pulling away at the end for the victory. Four days later, the Bonnies pushed No. 24/22 Illinois to the brink in its own gym on national television. Nicholson outdueled eventual lottery pick Meyers Leonard. Illinois in the end proved to be too much to handle. The following game, the Bonnies lost senior Michael Davenport for the season to a shoulder injury. All the expectations of the season seemed to be slipping away. The team would now have to be led by Andrew with big help needing to come from newcomers and youth. Those players stepped up to the challenge. After a heartbreaking loss to N.C. State in Rochester, Andrew Nicholson came alive. Nicholson went on to average 23.3 points and 11.5 rebounds over the final eight games in conference play to help his team secure a No. 4 seed and a bye in the Atlantic 10 Championship. He became the first player in Atlantic 10 history to earn four consecutive Player of the Week awards. He would be named the Atlantic 10 Player of the Year and named to the All-Defensive Team. The story of this team was not written yet. Nicholson guided the Bonnies on an unprecedented three-day stretch during the A-10 Championship. After dispatching Saint Joseph’s and UMass, Nicholson dropped 26 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, blocked eight shots and brought St. Bonaventure its first ever Atlantic 10 Men’s Basketball Championship with a win over perennial power Xavier. It is safe to say that after the early injuries and bad losses, few thought they would see this day. The Bonnies were dancing into the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000. The Bonnies earned a No. 14 seed and would face No. 3 seed Florida State in Nashville. Early on it was Nicholson showing why he was the A-10 Player of the Year. The Bonnies led the game most of the way, but the experience of Florida State prevailed in the end. While fans may have hoped for the win, being there was a realization of a dream for Bona Nation. Andrew Nicholson graduated ranking second on the program’s all-time scoring list with 2,103 points, fourth all-time with 887 rebounds and second all-time with 244 blocked shots.

A-10 Championship
First Seed Runner-Up
The St. Bonaventure women’s basketball team set off on a journey during the 201112 season with one goal in mind: to make it to its first NCAA Tournament in program history. A trip to No. 25 St. John’s to start off the season would be the first indicator of greatness for this team. Trailing early, the Bonnies fought back and earned their first ever road win over a ranked opponent. They would follow that up just a few days later when they would hand West Viriginia a rare home loss. After suffering their first loss at the hands of Elena Della Donne and Delaware, the Bonnies rattled off seven straight victories. On Dec. 29, this team would suffer its second loss in a hard-fought matchup with Villanova. That loss would prove to be trouble for the rest of the opponents on their regular-season schedule. This team was now poised to take themselves and the St. Bonaventure community on the ride of a lifetime. The Bonnies went on a historic run to start 2012. A 5-0 start in conference play with road wins over Temple and Charlotte had this team beginning to believe in perfection. After being picked to finish 6th in the conference, there was an obvious chip on their shoulder. It took a 10-0 start in conference play for the national polls to finally reward the Bonnies for their body of work. They would take the No. 25 ranking with them into Dayton for a matchup against the Flyers. This matchup would be for sole possession of first place in the A-10. After trailing by 15 early, this team battled back once again and it was a Megan Van Tatenhove running layup as time was running down that would seal the victory for the Bonnies. They would complete a perfect conference season with a win at Rhode Island two weeks later. After two dominating victories over La Salle and host Saint Joseph’s at the Atlantic 10 Championship, they met rival Dayton in the finals for a rematch of the battle these two had in February. Dayton led 27-5 to start the game. The comeback kids did it again however, taking a 51-50 lead late, but it wasn’t meant to be. The Bonnies would fall in that championship game, but there was plenty of magic left in this season. The NCAA Tournament would come calling. Having been awarded a 5-seed in the Raleigh Region, the Bonnies headed south, to Tallahassee, for a date with 12-seeded Florida Gulf Coast. Trailing by 11 with five minutes remaining in regulation, the Bonnies did it again, forcing overtime and taking control to roll into the second round and a matchup with familiar foe, 13-seeded Marist. The game was a constant back and forth but the Bonnies never relented. Senior Jessica Jenkins knocked down five 3’s to help propel the Bonnies into their first Sweet 16 appearance. The eventual national runner-up Notre Dame would end the magical season in Raleigh. Van Tatenhove finished ranked 6th all-time in scoring with 1,453 points and 7th all-time with 624 rebounds. Jenkins set an A-10 record with 338 3-pointers in her career which were also good for 12th in NCAA history. She scored 1,441 points which stands 7th all-time in program history. Armelia Horton graduated as the winningest player in St. Bonaventure basketball history with 116 victories. As a class, Horton, Jenkins, Van Tatenhove and Jennie Ashton graduate as the winningest in program history with 98 wins. The 31 wins in 2011-12 are also a program record.

The Bonnies’ multiyear rate over the past four seasons is 997 (out of 1,000), the highest among all 14 teams at St. Bonaventure. Sophomore goalie Megan Junker turned in five shutouts, one shy of the school’s single-season record. Burchett finished ranking 14th on the all-time points list (52) and tied for 15th on the career goals list (21). Krisko has gone on to sign a professional contract to play in Sweden.

The men’s soccer team struggled to a 4-12-3, 0-7-2 record in 2011. The Bonnies saw nine matches decided by just one goal. They will look to bounce back in 2012 as they return 100 percent of their scoring from last season. James Reed led the team with five goals. Former Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team member and A-10 Honorable Mention from 2010, Emmett O’Connor led the team with six assists. Brad Vanino, who was also named to the 2010 A-10 All-Rookie Team, returns as well. The team also had six players named to the Atlantic 10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

Women’s Cross Country The women’s cross country team continued to improve under coach Bob Macfarlane in 2011, including a second-place finish in the Little Three Invitational for the first time in three seasons. Freshman Hannah Robinson was the constant pace setter for this team. Her best performance came at the Little Three Invitational where she posted a 5k time of 19:31, good for a fifth-place finish. She finished at the top of all Bona female runners in the first five of their meets before being upstaged by fellow freshman Emily Steves in the final two. Steves paced the Bonnies at the Atlantic 10 Championships with a 5k time of 19:55.1. She followed up that performance by posting a time of 25:01.9 on a 6k layout at the NCAA Regionals.

This young men’s cross country team will look to improve this fall on the standards it set during the 2011 season. With seven freshmen and three sophomores on the roster, some future stars began to emerge. Freshman Nick Masiello finished tops among Bona men in all seven of their meets. Masiello posted his best performance at the UB Stampede Invitational where he posted a time of 26:46.5 on the 8k course. He would later pace the Bonnies at the Atlantic 10 Championships with a time of 27:10.2, good for 94th overall. Freshmen Harley Thompson and Steven Kibbe also stood out, often finishing just behind Masiello. In the classroom this team performed very well. Two members of the team were named to the Atlantic 10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll. The men’s team will add four more runners to this young team in the fall.

Women’s Swimming & Diving Trying to build on last year’s success, the Bonnies finished just one spot shy of their preseason prediction at this year’s Atlantic 10 Championships, finishing seventh. The storyline of this team was written by their youth. Freshman Meaghan McCann highlighted her debut campaign with a ninth-place finish at the Atlantic 10 Championships in the 200-yard backstroke consolation finals. Sophomore Jeanette Dietrich continued to build on her stellar freshman campaign, finishing the 2011-12 season with a 10th-place finish in the 100-yard freestyle consolation finals. Just behind Dietrich in the same race, freshman Rachel Bull touched in 15th. Sophomore McKenzie Courtney finished 8th place overall in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:24.59.

Courtney has set up expectations of a bright future. Better still, freshman Lauren Caldwell finished sixth overall in the 200-yard butterfly. In diving action, it was another youngster, sophomore Chrysta Currier, who finished 14th in the 3-meter. On the academic side, this team continued to exemplify what it means to be true student-athletes. Women’s swimming and diving saw four athletes named to the Atlantic 10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll this year. This young and improving squad will add six new recruits to help out the 2012-13 edition of the women’s swimming and diving team.
Men’s Swimming & Diving The men’s swimming and diving team has become a model of “consistency” in the Atlantic 10. For the 12th time in the last 13 years, the Bona men took the silver medal at the Atlantic 10 Championships, finishing behind now six-time defending champion Massachusetts. St. Bonaventure saved the best for last as the Bonnies were snatching medals all weekend at the Atlantic 10 Championships. On day one, the 800-yard freestyle relay team composed of senior Yi Liu, freshmen Vatslav Lets and Ripley Danner and sophomore James Martin took home silver with a time of 6:35.95. In diving, junior Mike Murphy showed how dominant he has been in the 1-meter dive all season, finishing in first-place with a score of 302.70. Day two brought broken records and more hardware for the Bonnies. Ripley Danner broke the 200-yard IM record with a time of 1:50.75. Lets would take gold in the 500-yard free with a A-10

They followed that up in March with a four-match win-streak; three of them came on the road. They would earn the 12 seed in the Atlantic 10 Championship and eventually fell to 5th seeded Xavier in the opening round. Manuela Marin Salcedo was the leader of the team on and off the court. On the court she played the majority of her matches in the No. 1 spot. She was a three-time A-10 Second Team All-Conference member throughout her fouryear career.

Academic & Professional Success
St. Bonaventure Athletics saw a season of excellence rivaled by few others in its storied history. So far this summer, four standout athletes have seen their hard work as a Bonnie pay off for them. Former St. Bonaventure women’s soccer defensive standout Katie Krisko has signed a professional contract to join Gustafs GoIF in Sweden’s Second Division. Krisko, who graduated in May, was a four-year starter for the Bonnies. Krisko helped backstop 24 shutouts over her four-year career. Out of the backfield she tallied 17 points in her career on six goals and five assists and was part of 42 victories. Krisko is a member of the first Bona senior class in program history to have graduated with a double-digit win average each of the four seasons. Baseball player Ryan Skellie has signed a contract with the Florence Freedom, an independent professional baseball team in the Frontier League. Skellie, who graduated from St. Bonaventure in May, had a tryout with the Freedom, and was signed the same day by the franchise based in northern Kentucky. An Erie, Pa. native, Skellie led the Bonnies last year in home runs (five), slugging percentage (.462) and stolen bases (five). Following a senior season in 2011-12 in which he posted career highs in five statistical categories, former St. Bonaventure men’s basketball forward Da’Quan Cook has signed a professional contract with BC Yambol in Bulgaria’s National Basketball League. Cook averaged 7.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 26.8 minutes per game last season. The Elizabeth, N.J. native also recorded career highs in free-throw percentage (75.2) and field goals made (76). Former St. Bonaventure star Andrew Nicholson was selected by the Orlando Magic with the 19th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. With his selection, Nicholson becomes the 33rd Bonaventure player to be drafted into the NBA, and the first since Barry Mungar was selected in the Fourth Round in 1986. He also becomes the fourth Bona First-Round pick, and first since Bob Lanier was selected with the first overall pick by the Detroit Pistons in 1970. Nicholson stormed through the final month of the 2012 regular season to garner A-10 Player of the Year and Associated Press All-American honors. He powered St. Bonaventure to its first A-10 Championship title – earning a nod for Most Outstanding Player along the way – after posting 26 points, 14 rebounds and eight blocks in a title-game win over Xavier that sent SBU to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000.

BAF Information One of the most successful years in St. Bonaventure Athletics history carried over to the Bonaventure Athletic Fund in 2011-12 as the BAF set a record with $368,359 raised from 811 passionate donors. With the 2012 fiscal year coming to a close on May 31, the BAF surpassed its 2009-10 record of $368,209 raised, and the 811 donors are the second-most in history. “All of us who are a part of St. Bonaventure Athletics are incredibly grateful for the support of our Bonaventure Athletic Fund donors this past year,” said Steve Watson, Director of Athletics. “I cannot emphasize enough how vital these contributions are to our student-athletes and coaches. Each year, as we strive to be the best we can be in the Atlantic 10 Conference, additional resources become more critical. “That will continue to be true, and I am confident in the future support of our loyal fans, alumni, families and friends. On behalf of our entire Athletics Department, thank you to our BAF donors for helping us be our best.” Just more than 42 percent of the donated funds were in the form of unrestricted dollars ($155,283), with the other $213,076 being designated gifts to specific sports or program areas. As monetary contributions continue to expand, so does the BAF membership. The prideful group grew by 147 members in 2011-12, up from 667 in 2010-11, representing a drastic increase of 18 percent. The rise in donors is part of an immensely positive trend for SBU Athletics, as over the past four years the number of BAF members has increased by 303, a rise of 37 percent. The BAF is the annual fundraising campaign of the Department of Athletics. Gifts to the BAF provide annual support for St. Bonaventure’s 14 intercollegiate sports programs, thereby enhancing the “Good Journey” of Bonaventure’s 250 student-athletes. BAF contributions fund critical initiatives and gaps in operating expenses that the Athletics Department might otherwise not be able to afford. In order for the Bonnies to foster and sustain competitive excellence, growth is necessary. The Department of Athletics and the Athletics BAF Advisory Board ask you to make a gift today, and to consider asking a friend to follow your lead. Make a tax-deductible gift today at www. gobonnies.com/donate.
