The St. Bonaventure women’s basketball team will be honored for its 2009 WNIT run by having a banner unveiled to commemorate the season. The banner will be uncovered prior to the start of the men’s exhibition game against Mansfield at 7 p.m. Friday at the Reilly Center.
Last season was the most successful campaign in St. Bonaventure history, with the Bonnies winning a program-best 23 games. The Brown and White made their first postseason appearance and highlighted it with wins against Big East foe West Virginia and Big Ten contender Wisconsin.
