A two-year co-captain, Sue Shay-Danielewicz led the Bonnies in scoring twice and in rebounding all four years. A member of the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie team in 1988-89 after setting the program's single-season scoring record with 590 points (21.1 ppg), she was named All-Atlantic 10 following her sophomore, junior and senior seasons.

Shay-Danielewicz graduated with 13 school records including career points (1,874), career rebounds (952) and career free throws. Her total of 1,874 points still stands third in the Bonnies' all-time record book. She also set the program record for points in a game, scoring 40 vs. Saint Joseph's in 1989 – a mark that still stands. Her 952 rebounds remain nearly 100 more than any other player in program history. The heart and soul of her Bonnies teams and a force in the paint, she averaged 16.6 points and 8.4 rebounds during her career in Brown and White.

Shay-Danielewicz was inducted into the St. Bonaventure Hall of Fame in 2002. She was named an Atlantic 10 Legend in 2017.

Today, her No. 42 jersey hangs in the Reilly Center rafters, sharing the honor with Katie Healy, '16, for their excellence as Bonnies.
