A do-it-all star whose blue-collar playing style exemplified some of the best Bonnies teams in school history, Van Tatenhove finds her name written throughout the program record books.
She became just the ninth member of the school's 1,000-point, 500-rebound club and finished her career with 1,453 points to stand seventh in school history. The Bonnies forward also remains ninth all-time in rebounding with 624 boards, sixth in career field goal percentage (48.2 percent) as well as eighth in field goals (555), blocks (60), and double-figure scoring efforts (76).
During her career, the Bonnies won 98 games as she and Jenkins helped lead four straight national postseason appearances including the 2012 Sweet 16 run when the team finished with a school record 31 wins. As part of 10 career national postseason tournament games (NCAA, WNIT) she averaged 9.3 points per contest. In that time, St. Bonaventure also posted a winning percentage against Atlantic 10 foes of better than 73 percent.
She poured in 18 points in Bona's first-ever NCAA Tournament win, a 2012 First Round triumph over Florida Gulf Coast to start a Cinderella sprint to the only Sweet 16 appearance in program history.
Van Tatenhove received First Team All-A-10 accolades as a senior, averaging 13.0 points and six rebounds, a year after Second Team honors when she posted 14.5 ppg, 5.6 rpg.
She was also Honorable Mention All-Conference (11.5 ppg, 4.1 rpg) as a sophomore. She was a two-time A-10 All-Academic Team pick as well, hinting at her future career as an academic coordinator which she currently serves as at Bowling Green, leading BGSUÂ student-athletes.
Van Tatenhove was a 'first ballot' Hall of Famer, earning induction during her first year of eligibility.
