Van Tatenhove is A-10 Player of the Week

Following a week in which she hit a game-winning shot and recorded her seventh career double-double, Atlantic 10 Conference officials named senior Megan Van Tatenhove as the A-10 Player of the Week on Monday.

Van Tatenhove hit a contested, off-handed basket with 23 seconds remaining on Saturday to complete a 15-point road comeback against Dayton. The 56-55 win kept the Bonnies (24-2, 11-0 A-10) in firm position of first place in the league, stretched their program-best winning streak to 13 straight and moved their road record to a nation-best 12-0.

The Wisconsin native finished with 17 points and corralled eight rebounds against a Dayton squad which SBU held to its fewest point total in its 10 conference games. Thirteen of Van Tatenhove's game-high point total came in the first half as the Bonnies, ranked No. 25 in the Associated Press Poll last week, staved off a 19-4 deficit not even seven minutes in to trail by just one at the half.

This past Wednesday, the forward scored a team-high-tying 17 points as part of a 69-54 victory at Massachusetts. Van Tatenhove also grabbed 10 rebounds as she secured her second double-double in conference action this season.

Van Tatenhove and the Bonnies have a bye this Wednesday, but return to the Reilly Center on Saturday in front of a Homecoming Weekend crowd versus Xavier. The 2 p.m. game will be broadcast nationally by CBS Sports Network and is the first of a doubleheader with the men's team.

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly
