Women's Bowling Eliminated from National Tournament
The Culver-Stockton College women's bowling team suffered its second straight loss Friday morning and was eliminated from the NAIA Bowling Championships being held at 5-Star Lanes in Sterling Heights, Mich.
The 11th-seeded Wildcats, who fell into the consolation bracket with a series loss to Concordia (Mich.) Thursday afternoon, opened strong against Morningside (Iowa) Friday morning, winning the opening game of the best of seven series 191-157.
But that would be the highlight of the day as the Wildcats struggled to score 170 or better of the best of seven series. The Mustangs captured game two 214-144 and then narrowly claimed game three 167-162 before taking a commanding 3-1 lead with a 186-144 victory in game four. In the fifth game, both teams registered their highest point totals of the match with Morningside prevailing 255-192 to end the Wildcats' historic season.
