Seniors: St. Bonaventure

This is the 1st in a series of posts about the seniors of each team recognizing their contributions to their team

Kara Morenus

Kara Morenus C/3B: after starting her career as the Bonnies' catcher, Morenus has made a successful transition to 3rd base, while also serving as the Bonnies' second catcher. Just like many of her teammates, Morenus had one of her top seasons in 2011. Coach Threehouse relied on Morenus as one of his senior leaders and she has been an absolute fixture in the heart of the Bonnies' order. Morenus has been reliable and consistent for the Bonnies and she has had some big moments in her career including, being named to the Atlantic 10 All Rookie Team. One of the best weekend's of Morenus' career came this season when St. Bonaventure traveled down to East Tennessee State for a weekend tournament. In a two game stretch against North Carolina A&T and East Tennessee State, Morenus went 4-7 with 2 HR and 3 RBI and she scored 4 runs. Morenus was a steady performer for the Bonnies and she will be missed.

Maureen Wells

Maureen Wells 1B: after being a steady defensive presence in her first three seasons at St. Bonaventure, Wells really elevated her game to a whole new level in her final campaign. The Bonnies have experienced an offensive power explosion this season and Maureen Wells has been at the forefront of it. Wells set career highs in almost every offensive category, but the power numbers have been truly outstanding. Wells led the Bonnies' offense during conference play and it seemed as though she came through in every big RBI situation for her squad. Of the 26 RBI that she has on the year 23 have come in conference play, which is an outstanding figure. The Bonnies are really going to miss Wells' bat and the leadership that she provides.
