Saturday, April 6 – 12:00 p.m. 
Marra Athletics Complex
TV: ESPN+
 
The St. Bonaventure women's lacrosse team looks to defend their perfect 5-0 home record as they host Saint Joseph's Saturday for an Atlantic 10 matchup at the Marra Athletics Complex with opening draw set for noon. 
 
LAST TIME OUT
The Bonnies traveled to Richmond last Saturday and fell to the Spiders, 17-9. The Spiders are 5-0 in conference play while the Bonnies dropped to 3-2. Sophomore Rylee Gonzalez and senior Callie Kessler each scored twice in the contest for Bona's. 
 
CJD AWARENESS GAME
Saturday's game against Saint Joseph's will serve as the team's CJD Awareness Game. In the spring of 2019, Bonnies women's lacrosse alum Jess Losquadro, '21, lost her father to Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD). Since then, the St. Bonaventure women's lacrosse program has run an annual fundraiser in honor of Michael Losquadro. He was an avid supporter of the Bonnies and loved by many. The team stood behind the Losquadro family during that tragic time and strives to continue supporting them and the whole CJD community.
