Most recently, Woodbury helped Laura Menty win the 2005 MAAC Rookie of the Year award. She was also instrumental in Gunta Basko becoming the first player to be recognized twice as a Kodak District 2 All-American in the 2001-02 season. Basko became just the third player to be named MAAC Player of the Year twice. She joins the likes of two-time winner Melanie Halker and Liz Lops, as players who fine- tuned their skills under the direct instruction of Woodbury.

Dianne Nolan’s bunch had already swept the season series from Siena with each game coming down to the final minute of regulation, including a one-point win in their last meeting of the regular season. Once again, this contest would go down to the final ticks on the clock, as MAAC Rookie of the Year Laura Menty rattled home a pair of free throws forcing an overtime period. Unfortunately, in the extra frame, the Stags hit the big shots and the Saints watched their season end at the hands of Fairfield, 66-65. “We really didn’t execute on the little things consistently throughout last season,” reflects Castelli. “This year the team came to me and had a plan to reach smaller goals, knowing that if they can achieve enough of them that it will add up and get us closer to the larger goal, which always will be a MAAC Championship and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.” All the major pieces from last season, including MAAC Co-Defensive Player of the Year and two-time defending New York Lottery Scholar Athlete of the Year Lauren Surber, Rookie of the Year Laura Menty and 2005 New York Lottery MAAC Women’s Basketball All-Academic Team selections Whitney Cave, Michelle Blot and Rachel Michalek return with something to prove. The Saints have enjoyed a wealth of success under Castelli. Siena has consis- tently emerged as a contender for a conference championship. Under her leadership, the Green and Gold are ranked among the region’s top teams, and have earned national recognition for their accomplishments in the classroom as well as their accolades on the hardwood. “On paper everybody matches up well at this time of year,” comments Castelli. “What can’t be measured is the heart and mentality of a team. That happens between tipoff and the final horn. This squad has really meshed into a cohesive unit and we have a good shot at reach- ing our goals both short-term and long.” Guards The Saints return their entire backcourt from last season.

The shining future doesn’t stop there as underclassmen accounted for game-high scoring 23 times in 2004-2005. The Saints began the season with a one-week, four-game, road trip over the Thanksgiving holiday. Siena played two games against nationally-ranked programs in Maryland and Vanderbilt. Against the Terps, Siena was within striking distance in the second half before falling in the season opener. The Green Sophomore Melissa Manzer and Gold then traveled from College Park, Md., to Virginia where they dropped a hard-fought game to Virginia Commonwealth. Siena put their first mark in the “W” column in the opening round of the Vanderbilt Thanksgiving Tournament. The Saints outlasted the UT-Martin Skyhawks to earn a champion- ship meeting against host team Vanderbilt. After the season-open- ing trip, Siena began the home schedule with a win against Duquesne 62-57. The homecoming party would be put on hold for the moment as the Saints dropped their next two home games and lost six of eight games overall. As of January 11, Siena seemed life- less with nine losses and only four wins including a 1-3 record against the MAAC. January 14 may be two weeks after New Year’s, but in this case it marked a renaissance for the women’s basketball program. During that time, the Saints began a season-high five-game winning streak as they grew through their pain and began to find an identity. Siena won seven of their next eight games and improved from a 4-9 team to an 8-6 team with big wins coming against all the league’s top opponents. Senior Whitney Cave

The support services provided to the student- athletes are designed to offer assis- tance and resources, in addition to encouragement and guidance.

One of the main objectives of the Siena Athletic Department has always been to remain actively involved in the Capital Region community. Siena’s student-athletes and coaches make numerous appearances in local class- rooms and hospitals and volunteer hundreds of hours to help out many organizations. Additionally, the athletic department has donated thousands of dollars in game tickets, sports camps scholarships and sporting apparel and memorabilia to local charities. From soup kitchens to elementary schools, Siena’s invests its special resources each year to enrich the Capital Region community.

Adopt-A-School Program The newly redesigned Adopt-A-School program is a com- munity initiative intended to motivate area elementary students through interaction with Siena’s student-athletes. Members of Siena’s athletic teams interact with designated schools throughout the year. In addition to providing guidance and leadership to area youths, Siena’s student athletes learn first hand the value of volunteering in the community. The elementary students can find that learning is fun as teachers incorporate Siena Athletics into class lesson plans (i.e. using statistics for math assignments, or writing the players for English). For the past five years, Siena’s student-athletes have volunteered their lunch period to work with children who attend St. Casmir Elementary School. The Arbor Hill school does not have a gym. Siena’s student-athletes correspond throughout the year and ultimately visit the school. Each school is presented with an Adopt-A-School poster, identifying it as a current participant in the program. Additionally, Siena publications and prizes are provided for the school to give out to students who are Siena student- deemed outstanding performers. Each school receives 50 athletes volunteer tickets to a men’s and women’s basketball game, and the their time with entire school is invited to come to campus for a day in the fall many organizations and spring to watch other Siena student-athletes in action. in the Capital Region, including Siena’s current Adopted Schools are: the New York Albany Public School #18 branch of the Special Olympics.
