DAYTON, Ohio -- The Notre Dame College bowling teams made another trip to the Dayton area this past weekend to the Wright State Raiders' two-day tournament. The men bowled at Beaver Vu Bowl, in Fairborn, and the ladies took to the lanes at nearby Poelking Woodman. The format consisted of five individual games and sixteen baker games, with an eliminator format for four qualifying teams.

The women's varsity team scores were once again consistent during the regular games, shooting no scores under 900 and three individual team games over 1,000. The team finished Saturday with an overall total score of 4,914, just short of Wright State's 4,933.

On day two during the 16-game baker team games, the women's team picked up the pace and managed to overtake Wright State and finish first in qualifying for the eliminator round. NDC overtook them in a solid set of baker games in the first round and led the tournament by 50 pins over the host Wright State. The women bowled a solid 211 game in first game of the eliminator, but were eliminated by Wright State and University of Northwestern Ohio, missing out of the final match play games by only 19 pins.
