Bonnies Suffer 48-43 Setback to No. 24/22 Illinois

December 8, 2011 CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - No. 24/22 Illinois (9-0) overcame a nine-point deficit with 5:22 left to claim a 48-43 victory over St. Bonaventure (3-4) in front of 14,711 fans at Assembly Hall on Wednesday. The Bonnies held Illinois to just 31.9 percent from the floor and without a field goal for over six minutes of the second half to help turn a 31-29 lead into a 39-30 cushion with 5:22 left. Illinois junior Brandon Paul led the Illini with 17 points and tallied three field goals – two while being fouled - five free throws, an assist and a steal over the final four minutes as Illinois came from behind. Andrew Nicholson also had 17 and added a game-high eight boards for the Bonnies. Demitrius Conger and Matthew Wright had six apiece. Paul's traditional three-point play tied it at 41 with 2:38 left to cap UI' s 12-2 run before Nicholson answered on the other end. Illini sophomore Meyers Leonard, the reigning Big Ten Co-Player of the Week, chipped in nine points and eight rebounds, with several of those allowing for extended possessions down the stretch. Nicholson was called for travelling on the Bonnies' next possession after Leonard gave the Illini a 45-43 lead with under a minute to play, and was just off the mark on a tying 3-pointer with 18 seconds remaining. Points were at a premium for both teams in a defensive battle that turned sloppy at times and decidedly intense at others. In the first half, Illinois used three 3-pointers to spark a 10-0 run that yielded a 17-9 lead. The Bonnies rallied to knot the score at 20 before Michael Davenport's free throws with just under a minute to go gave SBU a 26-24 lead at the half. St. Bonaventure returns to action on Saturday against Canisius in the back end of a doubleheader. Game time is set for 7 p.m.    NOTES: Youssou Ndoye, a 6-foot-11 freshman center, earned his first career start against the 7-1 Leonard … SBU used a different cast of starters for the second straight game … SBU has not beaten a ranked team since Feb. 9, 2002 (0-17) … The Bonnies fall to 0-3 when the opponent attempts more free throws … Nicholson was the only Bona player with more than six points.

Alfred State Nursing Program Added to JCC's Communiversity

Graduates of Jamestown Community College’s nursing program now have an opportunity to pursue a bachelor’s degree in nursing through the Communiversity at JCC in partnership with Alfred State College.

The agreement was reviewed recently by Kathleen F. Sellers, Ph.D., RN, professor and chair of Alfred State College’s nursing department, and Dawn T. Columbare, DNP, RN, CNE, professor and director of JCC’s nursing education program.

The agreement outlines how graduates of JCC’s Associate in Applied Science degree in nursing can complete Alfred State’s nursing degree online in four semesters. JCC graduates must complete designated JCC courses with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and must secure licensure as a registered nurse by the end of their first semester after matriculating at Alfred State.

Students can transfer additional JCC coursework toward meeting requirements for the bachelor’s degree and Alfred State will accept a maximum of 90 total transfer credit hours from JCC.

The nursing degree agreement is a component of the Communiversity partnership that JCC and several colleges, including Alfred State, have undertaken. Communiversity is an alliance of regional colleges and universities making select associate’s, bachelor's, and master’s degrees accessible to JCC students without leaving the area.
