In a year where the St. Bonaventure men’s lacrosse team has made history again and again, a pair of Bonnies get their own spot in the program’s record books as the first SBU players to earn MAAC All-Championship Team honors: sophomore Jake Rosa and junior Brett Dobson.

St. Bonaventure led by a goal after an impressive opening 15 minutes, but Monmouth dominated the final three quarters to earn a 12-5 victory Wednesday afternoon in the MAAC Men’s Lacrosse semifinals.

Fresh off another history-making day for the program last week with their first postseason victory, the St. Bonaventure men’s lacrosse team will have another chance to advance in the MAAC Championship Tournament when they travel to second-seeded Monmouth Wednesday afternoon. The winner of Wednesday’s game will play the (1) Manhattan / (4) Canisius winner with an NCAA Tournament bid on the line Saturday.

It has been a history-making season for the St. Bonaventure men’s lacrosse team as nearly each passing week has brought another first for the program. Friday brought an extra-special moment for the record books: The Bonnies’ first postseason victory.

St. Bonaventure hosts its first-ever MAAC Tournament game this Friday when it welcomes Detroit Mercy to the Marra Athletics Complex for a first round battle. St. Bonaventure will look to keep its hot streak alive on home turf after winning back-to-back games to wrap the regular season and finishing the year with a 3-1 record at its home facility. Detroit, meanwhile, has not played since April 9 due to virus protocols with scheduled opponents the last two weeks.

Four St. Bonaventure players have earned All-Conference honors from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference as Jake Rosa and Austin Blumbergs both were selected to the First Team while Zack Belter and Brett Dobson were each picked to the Second Team. Rosa was also selected as the MAAC Offensive Player of the Year by the league's coaches.
