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: New Year’s resolutions for Quinnipiac men’s basketball

Ready or not, 2019 is here. The new year can be an opportunity for a fresh start or to make major changes in your life.

Realistically, though, the difference between Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 is commercial. But in college basketball, the difference between Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 is monumental. Before the new year, Division I teams primarily play non-conference opponents. These games are played to boost your resume and prepare for conference play, which traditionally begins after the calendar turns.

The Quinnipiac men’s basketball team wrapped up its non-conference slate on Dec. 22 with a 76-73 home loss to Stony Brook. Overall, the Bobcats finished 5-6, an improvement from the 3-9 record they finished with during the 2017-18 non-conference season. Despite the better record, there are still plenty of areas Quinnipiac can improve in the new year.

With that, let’s establish some New Year’s resolutions for the team.
