Schedule Changes


Our Binghamton games scheduled for this Thursday have been moved to next Tuesday for a 3pm start at SBU.

Our Dayton games scheduled for Saturday here at SBU have been moved to Kent State University, slated for a 12pm start. The weather has been the worst I have seen in my 15 years of coaching softball at SBU. Climate Change 101.

GO BONAS!!

THE PASSION OF WINNING!

LaSalle Games....


The Bonnies came up huge on Sunday winning two must win games. Senior Maureen Wells had a huge day at the plate with a couple doubles and a homerun and in the field making a couple game saving plays in the 7th of game 2. Freshman Ashley Snider hit two more homeruns on the day to bring her total to 4 homers on the season. Freshman Jen Sansano pitched a gem in Game 1 and got her first win on the season. She has pitched well enough to have 3 wins so we are really happy with her progress.

We need to improve on the defensive side of the game but everything that has happened so far can be fixed with a little practice and a lot of confidence. One great defensive day and we are back on track.

Fordham / LaSalle


The Bonnies lose two to Fordham today but at least we were able to play the games. Maureen Wells launched a massive 2-run homer to left in game one and Jen Sansano pitched well enough to win but our defense struggled. We need to find our defensive swag within the next 36 hours or things will get tough.

I am betting that the Bonnies come out to play tomorrow against LaSalle. There is no other choice. Losing just does not feel good.

Back to the Future??


The Bonnies are always the underdog...just how we like it! It has been done before...let's do it again!

SBU verses Fordham/LaSalle


We have arrived in NYC. Thanks to a lot of hard work and some wisdom from the A10 Conference office we were allowed to travel to Fordham for our games verses Fordham and LaSalle. We will play Fordham on Saturday at 12:00 and 2:00 and then LaSalle on Fordham's campus on Sunday at 12:00 and 2:00 as well. I am appreciative of a conference that allowed me to work this weekend and give our student-athletes an opportunity to compete.

The Weather and the Atlantic 10


The snow hit hard this past week and Olean is under 5 inches of white stuff. All the athletic fields are unplayable and it looks like they are going to stay that way for awhile. We are hoping the A10 sees the wisdom of allowing our student-athletes the opportunity to play softball given the unusual circumstances of losing all four games this weekend verses Fordham and LaSalle to the weather. Stay tuned...
