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.

The Quinnipiac men’s basketball team has some lofty goals this year. For the first time in a while, though, that ultimate goal is realistic.

“At the end of the year, I just [want] to hold that MAAC trophy,” Quinnipiac senior forward Abdulai Bundu said of what he wants to accomplish in his final season. “I came here my freshman year and I’ve seen this place do a complete 180 [since then]. At the end of the year, I [want to be able to say I] started a legacy.”

After a surprising run to the MAAC semifinals last March at the tournament in Albany, there is no limit to what this team can do. The Bobcats weren’t a great team last year – finishing just 12-21 overall and 7-11 in the MAAC – but they improved as the season wore on. Quinnipiac was picked to finish last (11th) in the MAAC last year before the season and it ended up seventh.

That was all last year. Things are different now.
