| Bonnies are student-athletes, with an emphasis on "student" |
 |
The 2011-12 basketball season proved doubly satisfying for Bonnies fans.
The men won the university's first-ever Atlantic-10 championship in any sport and advanced to the NCAA Tournament, and the women went unbeaten in the A-10, earning an invitation to the Women's NCAA Tournament, where they advanced to the Sweet 16.
While we're proud of the accomplishments of our students as Division I athletes, we're just as proud of their achievements in the classroom.
Here's a sampling of that success:
