"We're excited to officially welcome this talented group of student-athletes to our St. Bonaventure family," Stauffer said. "Each of them brings a competitive edge, strong work ethic, and genuine passion for the game that align perfectly with the values of our program. This class will add depth, athleticism, and leadership as we continue building momentum within the Atlantic 10."

She also competed in volleyball, hockey and cross country in high school, and her mother played collegiate volleyball at Durham College and Western University.

Her father played football collegiately at Cortland, her sister played lacrosse at Villanova and her uncle was a basketball player at John Carroll.
 
"I chose St. Bonaventure because it offers the perfect balance of strong academics, a close-knit community and the opportunity for me to compete in high-level Division I lacrosse. From the moment I visited campus, I felt such a strong sense of family and support from everyone I met. I truly could not be more excited to be a part of a program and university that values hard work, dedication and team culture," DeRosa said.
