8 SportsUnion | APRIL 2019 Welcome To Editor Letter From The Happy Spring. Finally, the weather has changed over the long, drea- ry, winter into spring. Spring sports are already in full gear for both college and high school - and we couldn’t be any more happier. Before we get into our lat- est issue of the magazine, we would like to welcome Mad- die Norton on as our new di- rector of marketing. Norton started with us in March and has down a great job with our marketing and brand efforts on instagram and twitter. She will be graduating this spring from the University at Buffalo - and we can not wait to have her continue making our company thrive. We also would like to wel- come Tatyjana Scalisi as an intern. She will be writ- ing features for both the magazine and our website, sportsunionny.com. We are jammed back with the April issue, and we couldn’t be any more excited. The com- mitment to being the number one feature magazine in Western New York continues to be our goal, and with stories like this it is happening. Did you ever want to know what it’s like being a professional dancer? Take an inside look at what it takes to be a Buffalo Bandette, while also juggling life as a student and other responsibilities. This inside look will focus on two Bandettes and they tell us about their day and typical week dancing for the Buffalo Bandits. Our cover story will focus on the journey of Williams- ville South High School’s Tatyjana Scalisi. Scalisi talks about what it’s like realizing her dream of playing Division I soccer for the University at Buffalo. We also have stories on Daemen and D’Youville ten- nis along with the University of Louisville lacrosse. For more stories, check out sportsunionny.com. We will have a new feature ev- ery Tuesday. A thank you to our advertisers including the Buffalo Bisons, WNY Flash and St. Mary’s High School soccer.
