TEAM STATISTICS

2025-26 Youngstown State penguins

TEAM STATISTICS

GAME NOTES SIZZLING SIMMONS II St. Bonaventure’s early success is due in large part to a pair of stellar scoring performances by Buddy Simmons II. After scoring 22 points in SBU’s season-opener against Bradley (Nov. 3), the junior led the Bonnies with 24 points in Wednesday’s (Nov. 12) win over Siena.

Simmons II hardly missed all night, going 9-for-13 from the field, 2-for-2 from three-point range and 4-for-4 from the free throw line.

As of Thursday (Nov. 13), his nine made field goals were tied for second most out of any Atlantic 10 player in a single game so far in 2025-26. By shooting 69.2 percent from the field, Simmons II posted the third-highest shooting percentage of his career in games where he took 10-or-more shots.

The Putnam Science Academy product is averaging a team-high 20 points per game this season, second-most in the Atlantic 10 behind only George Mason’s Kory Mincy.

1K CAYDEN Senior guard Cayden Charles hit a significant milestone on Wednesday, surpassing 1,000 career points with a basket in the first half.

Charles had scored 972 points over three seasons at Division II North Georgia before averaging 14.0 points over St. Bonaventure’s first three games of the season to reach the 1,000-point mark.

“All it means is I’ve been playing for a minute,” Charles joked after the game. “It’s a nice accomplishment... hopefully I have a lot more points to go.”

If the first three games of the season are any indication, Charles does have much more scoring to come. The senior has reached double figures in every game so far, and is shooting 48.1 percent (13-for-27) from the field.

Charles has also made a significant impact on the glass, averaging 7.0 rebounds per game which is tied for sixth most in the Atlantic 10. Ten of Charles’ 21 rebounds have come on the offensive end, which also ranks top five in the conference.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK Men’s swimming and diving freshman Emanuele Zingaro and women’s swimming and diving junior Anna Bojana Forjan have been named the GoBonnies.com Student-Athletes of the Week presented by CPL for the week ending Nov. 9.

Zingaro picked up two key wins in a dominant victory over Little Three rival Canisius on Friday evening.

A native of Varese, Italy, his first victory came in the 50-free as he clocked in at 20.88. He bolstered his resume for the day with a first-place finish in the 100-free (45.84).

Zingaro’s season-best time in the 50-free (20.61), which he achieved against Fordham, currently sits as the fourth-best mark in the Atlantic 10. His top mark this year in the 100free, a time of 45.49 at Niagara, ranks seventh in the conference.

Emanuele Zingaro

Both student-athletes will get their next chances to perform on Nov. 20 as they begin the Magnus Cup.

FROM THE HEART Bonnies Freshmen Make International Impact

By Gavin Watson, Athletics Communications Student Assistant Despite leaving preseason workouts just a few weeks in, St. Bonaventure women's basketball team members Ivona Djikanovic and Iva Corluka got plenty of basketball action in this summer.

“Those events are truly some high-level basketball,” said Kelcie Rombach, Bonnies assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. “While they weren't physically on campus, what they brought back with them in experience and physicality has really benefited them.”

Djikanovic played seven games for the U-20 Serbian National Team, averaging 22.4 minutes and chipping in 8.0 points and 2.9 rebounds per game all on the way to winning the FIBA U-20 Women’s EuroBasket Division B silver medal.

“This year, we won every game except one in the finals. We finished in second place, but we got back to the A Division,” Djikanovic said.

In six games for the Croatian U-18 National team, Corluka averaged 4.5 rebounds with 1.5 assists over 12.1 minutes per game.

Representing a nation is something both athletes take pride in.

“People don't really take it as serious, but you're playing for the flag,” Djikanovic said. “You're playing for your people and the whole country.”

For Corluka, despite growing up in New York, since Corluka's grandparents are from Croatia, she has dual citizenship. This makes representing the Croatian flag mean more to the Bonnies freshman.

“I grew up watching the Croatian soccer team in the World Cup, and I always thought it would be a really cool experience to be able to do that,” she said.

There are many differences in the international game compared to the game in the states. Some of these different experiences figure to help the new Bonnies when they don the Bonaventure colors this season.

“I think the difference is internationally it's more physical and strategic,” Djikanovic stated.

“The way Europeans play basketball, there's a lot of ball movement and space,” Rombach said. “They bring some of that high basketball IQ that fits well into how we play.”

Corluka won NYSSWA Class A Player of the Year as a high school senior as well as helping Ardsley High School win the State Championship.

She also represented the U-17 Croatian team.

“We play a lot more games than the international kids do,” Corluka said. “In AAU, you play like six games a weekend while internationally they're practicing six times a week for one game.”

For Corluka and Djikanovic their roads to international competition were different.

“There was this coach from Serbia that called me, and I played last year for U-20. I played up,” Djikanovic said. “This year we had a whole new coach and staff, and they watched the games from last year and liked what they saw and asked me to come back and play for them.”

Corluka’s route looked different.

“I just happened to follow the coach of the team on Instagram, and I have a friend who's also from New York. She played there, and the coach asked her, ‘you know this girl?’” said Corluka. “‘Tell her dad to call me.’”

In an effort to help the freshmen transition, the coaching staff had them come in early.

“I came here a month before everybody, and I had to get to know my coaches and work out with them individually and just get to see how the system works,” Djikanovic stated.

Corluka and Djikanovic took the floor for the first time with the Bonnies when they hosted Daemen Wednesday, Oct. 29 in the Brown and White’s exhibition contest.
