I began working for the student-run school newspaper, the Quinnipiac Chronicle, within my first weeks on campus in 2016. I was quickly elevated to Associate Sports Editor after my first year (April 2017), then Sports Editor the next semester (December 2017). My jobs as Sports Editor included posting all sports content (recaps, features, etc.) online, assigning my staff of 10 writers to cover games each week and coordinating interviews with athletes through SIDs for feature pieces.

After a year running the sports section, I took a managing editor role as Web Director, which allowed me to oversee the entire group and online publication. This included editing and posting all written content on our website and on social media platforms (Twitter and Facebook). While serving this position, I retained my role as men’s basketball reporter and covered sports when needed.

Some of my fondest memories include road trips with my fellow sports writers to cover men’s and women’s basketball games.

Runnin’ the Point: A busy, positive offseason for Quinnipiac basketball

Quinnipiac basketball didn’t get the memo about the annual summer lull period for the college basketball world. Both the men’s and women’s teams have consistently been in the news this summer — and that’s a good thing.

Even though the teams ended last season at different points, both squads had successful 2017-18 campaigns. Men’s head coach Baker Dunleavy led the Bobcats to the MAAC semifinals despite being picked to finish last in the preseason. After a perfect conference regular season, the women’s team won the MAAC Tournament and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The successful seasons led to eventful offseasons filled with staff and roster changes.

April 21 – The offseason began early, as Quinnipiac women’s basketball associate head coach Mountain MacGillivray was named head coach at La Salle University. MacGillivray was a key cog in the Quinnipiac recruiting system – he helped land the four highest-ranked recruits in program history in junior Vanessa Udoji, senior Aryn McClure, redshirt senior Jen Fay and Sarah Shewan (‘17).
