Hey Bronco Fans! Hope everyone is doing well. We are approaching the final weekend of conference play with our trip to the Northwest. We play the #1 and #2 teams in the conference to close out the regular season; Gonzaga and Portland. Coming off of our first conference victory against USF the team seems excited and rejuvenated. Confidence is a wonderful thing! For those of you that missed it, what a great night. It was our senior night highlighting Sara, Liz and Claire. All three had their family members with them and all three contributed to a much deserved victory. We ended our home season with our Pink Zone night! This event helps the WBCA along with the Kay Yow foundation in support of finding a cure for Breast Cancer and Breast Cancer research. It was a huge success and I was very proud of the community for their efforts in support of the event. It was also the largest attendance of the year of over 1200 people.
I want to thank all of our coffee club and fast break members for all their support throughout the season. We look forward to a bright future ahead.
I hope to see all of you in Vegas! It looks to be quite an event!

Happy New Year!



I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and that you had a chance to relax and enjoy your families. We started off the New Year the right way with a WIN against cross town rivials San Jose State. The team has been working very hard over break improving each day preparing us for the start of Conference play. We open this Thursday with Saint Mary's and then travel to San Diego on Saturday. We invite all of the Bronco Bench members and our Fast Break Club to our pregame social and chalk talk this Thursday at 6pm.

I want to thank all of our Fast Break and Coffee Club members for attending our events. We really enjoy getting to know all of you and making you a part of our Santa Clara Family.

Lastly, I hope you have had a chance to come and see us play recently. I think we would all admit we are improving and getting better. The return of Maggie Goldenberger has helped our inside play. Our young point guards are healthy and starting to understand their roles. Our Seniors have continued to contribute and are stepping up their point production as league approaches and Lena Gipson continues to dominate down low drawing double teams most games. Lena is ranked 34th in the country with rebounds per game. We also expect Becky Goll to return in the next few weeks which will also give us added depth.

Well, I wish everyone a Happy New Year! I hope it is filled with joy, peace and everything you could wish for. We will see you all at a game real soon!
