Women's Lacrosse Fall 2026 Alumni Newsletter

Dear Bonnies Lacrosse Alumni,

We hope you've enjoyed a restful and sunny summer! As we wrap up another exciting chapter in St. Bonaventure women’s lacrosse history, we wanted to reach out and share some highlights from the 2026 season, introduce new faces on our staff, and thank you—our incredible alumni—for your ongoing support.

Look Back At Last Season's Success

This spring, we wrapped up our season with a 11-8 overall record, marking a strong step forward for our program. One of the season’s highlights was our Spring Break trip to North Carolina, where we not only finished 2-0 on the road, but were able to kick off the start of conference games strong, defeating Davidson, 8-6. 

We capped off the season finishing in 3rd place before entering the Atlantic 10 Tournament, hosted by Davidson. For the first time in program history we won in the quarterfinals, defeating George Washington, 10-8. In the semifinals, we took on VCU and battled to the end in a hard-fought 18-11 loss. 

Although it wasn’t the result we wanted, through blood, sweat, and tears, we were able to recognize the difference between where this program started and where it is today. Often, we tell the girls to “be where your feet are,” because moments like our quarterfinals win and coming close to the championship are ones that will stay with you. So, through great wins and tough losses alike, we remind them to be where their feet are and give all they've got.

As the girls return to campus, we won’t forget how we finished this past season. We will recognize the success we have had and will continue to grow the program to new heights. Our goal will always be to win an A10 Championship.  

We’re excited to introduce two new additions to our staff this year! Brit Colangelo ‘26 and Kate Hennessey ’26 will be returning to the program as Graduate Assistants this season. 

As we begin the 2026-2027 season, we can't wait to bring Brit and Kate back on campus! We know these two will add incredible energy, knowledge, and dedication to our coaching staff. They will play a key role in supporting our student-athletes, both on and off the field. 

While supporting the team, they will also be in the classroom working on their Masters degree in Sports Administration.  We are looking forward to having them back to help build the program. 

Mark Your Calendars: Alumni Game – October 10th!

We are thrilled to announce that our annual Alumni Game will take place on Saturday, Oct. 10. This is one of our favorite traditions and a great opportunity for former players to reconnect, lace up the cleats, and meet the current team and coaching staff.

More details to will follow, but for now, please save the date. We’d love to see as many alumni as possible back on campus!

With a strong group of returners, a talented incoming class, and a solid group of transfers, we're excited for what lies ahead. 

This program would not be where it is today without those who came before it. Thank you alumni for your continued support. We can’t wait to keep you involved as we continue to build something special at St. Bonaventure.

Be on the lookout for more updates and alumni opportunities in the coming months. Until then, enjoy the rest of your summer and—of course—Go Bonnies!
