St. Bonaventure women's basketball is entering a pivotal season as head coach Jim Crowley looks to build on the momentum of the 2025‑26 campaign, a year that saw the program notch its most impressive win‑total in recent memory.
With the core of last season’s squad set to return, Crowley has turned his attention to augmenting the roster with players who complement the existing culture and system.
Strategic Additions
The coaching staff secured four transfers through the portal — Lola Gralton and Kay Donahue, who bring size and physicality to the backcourt, and Jordyn Williams and Kyla Hayes, forwards who add rebounding depth and length.
Aaliyah Parker, a standout from the previous roster, has transitioned into an assistant coaching role, bringing veteran insight to the bench.
Emerging Roles
Mackenzie Pettinelli is slated to assume a larger on‑court presence, a shift that reflects the program’s confidence in her versatility and work ethic.
Depth Across the Roster
The supporting cast, including Laycee Drake, Ivona Djikanovic, Kylie Buckley, Kaylee Krysztof, Brillana Boyd, Olivia DiFranco, Diamond Fields, Iva Corluka, Katie Healy, Miranda Drummond, Mariah Ruff and Ella Trinkus, adds further depth and versatility.
Looking Ahead
The upcoming schedule presents a tough slate, but the blend of returning talent and purposeful additions positions St. Bonaventure to remain competitive in its conference and beyond.
