Her contributions to the program go much farther than numbers, Russo has been one of the most vocal and inspirational athletes to ever play field hockey for the Orange and Blue.

This is the second season in a row that the field hockey team has reached the league's championship contest. The Bison finish the 2000 campaign with a 9-11 overall and 3-3 conference record.
