Welcome to the 2009-2010 Bonnies women's basketball senior blog! With the launch of the new GoBonnies.com, we thought it would be a great idea to create something new for our fans...so here goes the first of many blogs written by the oldest, but wisest folks aka the seniors (Me, Tiara, and Dana) of the Lady Bonnies!

Where do I start? I guess I'll start from the beginning...As I packed my things and started the six and a half hour drive back to Bonas from my hometown of East Lansing, Mich., I thought about many things. I couldn't believe that this would be the last, first drive back to school and I couldn't believe that I was a senior. Everyone says it goes by fast, but it seems like yesterday that Dana and I were awkwardly shaking hands in the hallway of Robinson Hall after we nervously arrived to start summer school as freshmen. I thought about all of the amazing memories Bonaventure and basketball has brought me throughout my previous three years here and I thought about what my final year would bring.

Basketball wise, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. We lost a lot of great players (Kate Murray, Ashley Edwards, Erica Schiefen and Priscilla Edwards), but more importantly, great people last year that were influential in building our program. Last year's WNIT run was an amazing experience and I thought about what amazing things this year would bring. I've been so impressed by our team this year and how our chemistry has really clicked.

Preseason was tough but that's nothing new. It always seems like the longest two months of my life, but we all worked hard, pushed through it, and got better. With that over, practice finally came...YES! "We talkin' bout practice!" And now, we are only a week away from our exhibition game. Like I said, time flies when you're having fun!

I know we are all so excited about starting the season and we hope you are too. We can't wait to get on the court at the Reilly Center and we hope you are as excited to watch us play as we are pumped to play! Here are your seniors...signing out....See you next Friday!
