The St. Bonaventure women's basketball team remains at home to host George Washington on Sunday afternoon at the Reilly Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. 

 

HARVEY SHINES: Arielle Harvey poured in 22 points, her best in a Bonnies uniform, Wednesday night vs. George Mason. Harvey has scored in double figures in five straight games, averaging 16.0 points while shooting 47.5 percent (28-for-59) from the floor and 50 percent from long range (13-26). She has started to show her range as of late - 13 of her 20 3s for the season have come during the last five contests. 

 

DOWNTOWN BONNIES: The Bonnies drained a season-high 13 3s Wednesday vs. George Mason. It was the highest output from beyond the arc in any game by the Bonnies since hitting 16 on Feb. 26, 2011 vs. Charlotte. That 2011 Charlotte game is the only contest in the past decade where the Bonnies have been more prolific from distance than in last Wednesday's game. Bona has now hit eight of more treys in a game 15 times this season - it was a number the team reached just once last season (the 2016-17 regular season finale at Duquesne on Feb. 21, 2017).

 

WELCOME BACK, MCKENNA: Junior Mckenna Maycock made her return to action Thursday night at Fordham, her first on-court action since suffering a leg injury on Dec. 15 vs. Buffalo. Prior to her injury, she was one of the Atlantic 10's breakout success stories this season, ranking among the league's leaders in scoring (13.6 ppg), rebounding (8.4 rpg), field goal percentage (48.6%) and three-point percentage (47.1%) through the year's first 10 games. During that span, she registered four 20-point games, including a career high of 23 points in a Dec. 9 win over Penn State, her final game before suffering injury. In doing so, she became the first Bonnies player to post four 20-point contests in the season's first 10 games since Dana Mitchell did so in 2008. Mitchell ranks second all-time in the program record books for scoring and is the only Bona player to have her number retired.

- Her 16 points at Duquesne last Sunday rank as the fifth-highest scoring output of her career, all coming in her 13 games played this season. She went 7-of-12 from the floor Sunday, raising her field goal percentage to 49.2 percent for the season. Her 50.0 percent shooting percentage from long range (21-for-42) leads the A-10 for the year.

 

TAKING CARE: St. Bonaventure finished with just eight turnovers in last Sunday's game at Duquesne, a season-low for the team. During Atlantic 10 play, the Bonnies are averaging 12.7 turnovers per game, a total that ranks fifth-lowest in the league.

 

ALL-CONFERENCE CASE: Bonnies senior Mariah Ruff continues to make her case to make the Atlantic 10 All-Conference squads at season's end. A preseason All-A-10 selection, Ruff has again been one of the league's best players this year. In A-10 play, she ranks second during A-10 play with 19.5 ppg, behind only Fordham's Bre Cavanaugh. For the year, the Oneonta, N.Y. native stands 10th in A-10 scoring (15.7 ppg), second in assists (4.6 apg) and fourth in 3s made (61). One more 3-pointer will tie her for sixth all-time in program history with Nyla Rueter '16 (188).
