TIPPING OFF
The Bonnies look to build off a 66-63 win over Canisius Tuesday in Buffalo, erasing a 12-point first half deficit.

Dani Haskell poured in a career-high 29 points against her former team, including 12 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Bonnies.

Isabellah Middleton also finished in double figures with 14 points to go along with four rebounds and four steals while drawing a team-best nine fouls. Middleton capitalized on her chances at the line, hitting on 8-of-10 attempts.

The Bonnies outscored the Golden Griffins, 25-14, in the third quarter while also grabbing their first lead since the first quarter following a steal from Middleton and score from Nadechka Laccen with 1:28 on the clock in the period.

Canisius brought the game within two after a layup with 1:29 showing on the clock, but that is as close as the Bonnies would let the game get.

The Golden Griffins had an attempt to tie the game with a three as time expired, but the shot rolled out as the Bonnies claimed the rivalry win.

MILESTONE WATCH
Redshirt senior Isabellah Middleton enters Tuesday's contest just eight points shy of 1,000 for her collegiate playing career. Middleton registered 596 points in two seasons at Slippery Rock before joining the Bonnies prior to the 2023-24 season.

Fellow redshirt senior Dani Haskell is six games shy of 100 for her career. Haskell also joined the Bonnies prior to the 2023-24 season, appearing in 64 games over two-plus seasons at Canisius.

TAKING CARE OF THE ROCK
Freshman Mackenzie Pettinelli ranks fifth in the Atlantic 10 this season with a +2.4 assist to turnover ratio. Pettinelli leads the team with 12 assists through the first four games, averaging 3.0 assists per game.

As a team, the Bonnies are averaging 14.0 turnovers per game, ranking fourth in the Atlantic 10. Saint Joseph's leads the A-10, turning the ball over just 11.5 times per contest.

IN THE RANKS

She has two games this season with 20 or more points and her 29 points against Canisius Tuesday night were the most by a Bonnie in a single game since Mariah Ruff scored 30 against George Mason in 2018.
