MASSACHUSETTS – St. Bonaventure University women's basketball freshman Elyse MacDonough captured her second straight "A Shot For Life" Challenge trophy earlier this month in Massachusetts.

MacDonough finished the challenge shooting 87.4 percent across the two-hour period, claiming the title of Best Shooter in Massachusetts against some of the top shooters in the state.

"A Shot For Life" raises funds to help support immunotherapy for glioblastoma which is the most common and most aggressive type of brain tumor and carries an exceedingly poor prognosis. Immunotherapy has the promise of eliminating cancer cells in the brain while leaving all other healthy tissues intact.
