St. Bonaventure got its first win of the season in a big way Saturday, routing Canisius, 88-49.
The Bonnies bounced back from Monday’s seventy-nine to seventy-one opening loss to Youngstown State, and they had this one decided by halftime. Bonaventure led forty-three to fourteen, scoring thirty of those forty-three points in the paint and outrebounding Canisius, twenty-seven to thirteen.
Ari Fulton led the way with eighteen points and eight rebounds. Zach Philipkoski added sixteen points and four assists. Benjamin Bill and Akbar Waheed the Third each scored ten, and Taj Au-Duke had seven.
Head coach Mike MacDonald said, “It was a great first win, but we have plenty more to do.”
And now they get to do it at home. The Bonnies open a three-game homestand Wednesday against Cornell at seven, then host Lafayette Saturday at four and Buffalo next Thursday at seven.
