Ruff is the Atlantic 10's leading scorer in conference play, averaging 19.5 ppg. Ruff's 46 3-pointers against A-10 competition are also second-best in the league. For the entire year, the Oneonta, N.Y. native ranks seventh in A-10 scoring (16.4 ppg), second in assists (5.0 apg) and fourth in 3s (72). She is tied for fifth in program history for 3s with Katelyn Murray '09 - 197. She enters Saturday's game also tied with Roni Hergenroeder '91 for fourth in program history in career assists (415) and is one of just four Bona players to post 1,000+ career points and 400+ assists.

 

MAYCOCK NAMED TO ACADEMIC ALL-REGION TEAM: St. Bonaventure University junior Mckenna Maycock has earned a spot on the 2017-18 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District Women's Basketball Team, the second consecutive year she has received the honor. The Randolph, N.Y. native is an accounting major who owns a 3.968 GPA in the classroom.

She's one of eight players to receive the award this season from District 1 (NY, CT, ME, MA, NH, RI, VT). 

 

ARIELLE RISING: Junior transfer Arielle Harvey has continued to improve as the season has continued. She scored in double figures just twice over the first 10 games of the year, but has made that commonplace as of late. Aside from the GW game she missed due to injury on Feb. 4, Harvey has reached double figure scoring in nine of the last 11 games including 15 points at Rhode Island Wednesday. 

 

SPREADING THE WEALTH: The Bonnies had five players in double figure scoring for the first time this season during their win at Rhode Island on Wednesday. Mariah Ruff and Danielle Migliore each tallied 17 points while Arielle Harvey (15), Jalisha Terry (14) and Emily Calabrese (10) all found double figures. Prior to Wednesday, the last time five 

Bonnies scored 10 or more points in a game was in a Jan. 21, 2017 victory over Duquesne at The RC.

 

A-10 TOURNAMENT SCENARIOS: While several Atlantic 10 Tournament scenarios remain in play for the Bonnies, the most likely scenario will see the team traveling to the nation's capital - or in the vicinity. An SBU win vs. Duquesne coupled with a La Salle loss vs. George Mason would give the Bonnies the No. 12 seed. An SBU loss or La Salle win would lock Bona into the No. 13 seed. In either case, the Bonnies would likely play either George Washington (Washington, D.C.) or George Mason (Fairfax, Va.). As the No. 12 seed, Bona would play at the fifth seed in the tournament. As the No. 13, they would play at No. 4. A GW win vs. Richmond locks the Colonials into the four seed while a GW loss and a Mason win over La Salle would move the Patriots to the No. 4 spot. The first round of the A-10 tournament will be hosted by seeds 3-8 on campus sites Tuesday at 7 p.m. Winners of the first round matchups advance to play in Richmond next Friday.
