It is my distinct honor to present this year's St. Bonaventure Athletics Annual Report, which documents the many success stories from the 2025-26 season.

It was a tremendous year as our student-athletes, coaches and staff displayed their commitment to comprehensive excellence, thriving athletically and academically, while making a large impact in the community.

I hope this report will serve as an effective way of communicating our progress and vision as we strive to accomplish our mission of transforming lives through a student-athlete experience rooted in Excellence, Leadership and Service.

The 2025-26 academic year marked a time of great transition and transformation, and most importantly, great success for the St. Bonaventure University Athletics Department and our student-athletes.

The highest number of rostered student-athletes ever at St. Bonaventure, record-setting performances in academics, fundraising, ticket sales and corporate sales, unprecedented facility growth and enhancement, the unveiling of three new athletic facilities, incredible coaching hires, one of the nation's top turnaround seasons for one team and the most successful showing in program history for another all highlighted a remarkable 2025-26 academic year.

Thanks to the tireless work of our student-athletes, coaches and staff, and the steadfast support of many of you, we established new records in almost every area imaginable.

It was an amazing showing for St. Bonaventure Athletics, one that has set new standards of Excellence across the board.

And to help steer the Athletics Department's work, a cross-section of coaches and staff members developed a new five-year Department of Athletics Strategic Plan last summer, titled "The Bona Promise: Transforming Lives Through Excellence, Leadership and Service." The new plan features Eight Department Priorities, 48 Operational Goals and 192 Recommended Actions.

On behalf of our student-athletes, coaches and staff, thank you for your unwavering commitment to St. Bonaventure Athletics. It's a great time to be a Bonnie!!

Vice President and Director of Athletics
