DAYTON, Ohio The new year didn’t bring the St. Bonaventure University women’s basketball team better fortune as the Bonnies fell to 1-4 on the season Friday at University of Dayton Arena, suffering a 56-47 loss to the Dayton Flyers.
Poor shooting from St. Bonaventure was the story of the game. In the first A10 contest of the season for both squads, the Bonnies shot an underwhelming 29% from the field, while the Flyers shot 41.7%.
QUEENS â The St. Bonaventure womenâs basketball team took another step in the right direction Tuesday, taking Big East foe St. Johnâs to the wire on the road. The Bonnies were denied a victory after taking a double-digit second-half lead before falling to the Red Storm, 60-57.
Junior Asianae Johnson led all scorers with a game-high 14 points on 7-of-16 shooting. Queens native Deja Francis chipped in 11 points while Tori Harris added 10 points and seven rebounds.
Bona held a 39-27 third-quarter lead after opening the second half on an 8-0 run with six-straight points from Johnson.
St. Johnâs, picked to finish fourth this season in the Big East, then seized momentum back, launching a 25-7 run before a Harris three-point play with 6:44 to play in the fourth. By then, though, the Red Storm had taken back the lead, 52-49.
