Women’s Bowling Remains In Fourth Place at Golden Bear Classic

SINKING SPRING, Pa. (February 10, 2018) – For the second consecutive day, the Franklin Pierce University women's bowling program stands in fourth place at the Golden Bear Classic hosted by Kutztown University.

FPU was 4-1 on day two to run their two-day record to 8-2 and total pinfall to 9,163. The Crimson and Grey increased their overall mark to 34-27 with the four victories as their only defeat came at the hands of East Coast Conference opponent and no. 11 nationally-ranked Adelphi University. The Panthers climbed into the top spot from second place and hold a 125 pin advantage over second place program no. 14 nationally-ranked Saint Francis (Pa.). Kutztown dropped two spots to fifth place while no. 18 nationally-ranked Duquesne University jumped into third place.

As she did on Friday, Jessica Davies (Cape Coral, Fla.) led the Ravens in baker average (19.86) with teammate Krysta Peirce (Casco, Mich.) rolling a 19.09.

The Ravens highest baker score came in the opening duel of the day against Roberts Wesleyan when they dropped a total of 1,013 pins. The team of freshman Skyler Mulligan-Brown (New Milford, Conn.), sophomore Erin Mastropietro (Mechanicville, N.Y.), sophomore Jenna Harrington (Barneveld, N.Y.), sophomore Katey Comstock (Hartland, Vt.) and Peirce upset no. 18 ranked Duquesne 945-935 by rolling a day-best 231 string.

The Ravens look to improve their spot in the standings tomorrow.
