The Bonnies won nine Atlantic 10 games in the 2008-09 season, including wins against Temple and Charlotte, setting a program record for most conference wins in a single-season. St. Bonaventure finished the season in a four-way tie for fourth place in the A-10 with its 9-5 conference record.

Inside the Numbers (08-09 stats)
Binghamton is picked to finish third this season
in the America East. It marks the highest preseason prediction for the Bearcats since the program joined the conference prior to the 2001-02 campaign. They return four starters and 10 letterwinners from last season’s squad which went 14-17, but advanced to the America East semifinals for the third time in four years. Current sophomore point guard Andrea Holmes was named the 2009 America East Rookie of the Year and also earned third-time all-conference honors. Current sophomore forward Viive Rebane joined Holmes on the America East All-Rookie Team last year.

ST. BONAVENTURE UNIVERSITY 2 0 0 9 - 1 0 Wo m e n ’s B a s ke t b a l l G a m e N o t e s Last Time: Bonnies push past Mansfield The St. Bonaventure women’s basketball team streamlined to a 71-18 victory against Mansfield in an exhibition contest at the Reilly Center. The Bonnies jumped right out of the gate against the Mountaineers with scores by preseason Atlantic 10 All-Conference first team selection Dana Mitchell and redshirt sophomore Armelia Horton. A lay up by freshman Chelsea Bowker put the Brown and White up 13-0 with 13:53 remaining in the 1st half. Mitchell led the way for the Bonnies dropping in 17 while Van Tatenhove added 12. Junior Cara Gustafson pulled down a team-high six rebounds. The rookies, Bowker, Colleen Kiss, Cyndra Couch and Alaina Walker added in 21 points as a group. Preseason Accolades Senior Dana Mitchell was tabbed as a Preseason Atlantic 10 All-Conference first team member. Mitchell returns for her final season in the Brown and White following a junior campaign in which she garnered All-Conference second team accolades for the second consecutive year. She averaged 15.5 points to rank second in the conference and pulling down 5.6 rebounds per contest. The Fairless Hills, Pa., native also shot 50.3 percent from the field and 82 percent from the free throw line to rank seventh and fourth, respectively, in the conference.

Even with two consecutive seasons of scoring 500+ points, the Fairless Hills, Pa., still trails the top spot held by Hilary Waltman by 643 points. Super Seniors When seniors Andrea Doneth and Dana Mitchell joined the team in 2006-07, the Bonnies had not had a winning season in eight years. In their rookie season, St. Bonaventure went 1615 to break the trends of years past.

Atlantic 10 Efficiency Last 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. All-Conference Accolades For the second consecutive season, Dana Mitchell and Katelyn Murray 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 Academic 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.

Court Smarts Senior Katelyn Murray was named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America second team, as selected by the College Sports Information 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. Bonaventure earned a spot on the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (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. G-Force Dana 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 scoring 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. It’s Raining Threes Last 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 (Katelyn Murray, Erica Schiefen and Jessica Jenkins) nailed 142 combined three-pointers. Murray ended her career ranking third on the St. Bonaventure all-time three-pointers made list with 197 Double Figures Club The 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 Fordham, 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 Club Dana 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 Warning St. 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. Defensive Attitude A key ingredient to the Bonnies’ success in the 2008-09 campaign was the consistent play on the defensive end. Through 34 games, the Brown and White conceded only 58.3 points per game which ranked the Bonnies 77th in the nation. St. Bonaventure owned an 18-1 mark when limiting opponents to under 60 points, and an 8-1 mark when holding opponents under 50 points.

First, the Brown and White beat nationally 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.

THIS SEASON
- 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.”

Niles’ Game-by-Game Statistics
- Saw action in eight games in her rookie season Crowley says: “She worked really hard in the off season, she improved 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.”

Mitchell’s Game-by-Game Statistics
- 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.”

She is just so athletic and can really guard every position. Her getting on the floor, which is something we hope will happen, will depend on her ability to learn our system and to understand the work rate that is required on and off the floor.”

THIS SEASON - Saw action in every game last season - Was a key arc-shooter, going 39-94 from the floor Crowley says: “Jess can be really special. The thing she has to continue to improve on, and she will, is playing her game off the bounce at her size and finding shots. 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.”

Crowley says: “She is the kind of player that the only person that can stop Arm Horton is Arm Horton. She needs to take a bigger role with us. Last year she deferred at times because other people could do some things. We can’t be as successful as we want to be without her stepping forward all the time. How quickly she accepts that role and how well she accepts that role will be a big key to our season.”
