HOUSTON, TX…Day one of the inaugural women’s bowling national championships at the Emerald Bowl in Houston started with perfection and ended with reflection…that of a banner opening round of action for the inaugural NCAA championship for the sport.
The eight teams faced each other in seven games of regular team bowling, and only the total pinfall from Thursday’s action will be combined with the pinfall from seven three-game baker matches in session three of the championships on Friday morning to determine the seeding for the remainder of the tournament.
Beginning Friday, April 9 at 2:30 pm, session four will open the double-elimination portion of the championships, when schools will square off in three rounds of baker games in a best 4-out-of-7 format. In baker games, the five bowlers on a team each will play two frames of a traditional 10-frame game.
In the opening game of the tournament, New Jersey City University junior JENNIFER VIENS (Old Bridge, NJ/Old Bridge) became the first bowler in NCAA history to roll a perfect 300 game in championship play, as the Division III Gothic Knights achieved a team score of 1177 against Winston-Salem State University—the second highest team score of the first day of the championships. In the third game, Central Missouri State University freshman CHRISTINA PEAK (Machesney Park, IL) notched the second 300 game of the championships, and it ironically occurred when the Jennies were facing NJCU. CMSU tallied an 1192 in their final game of the day, also against WSSU, for the highest team score of the first day.
An event which started with perfection, nearly ended with it, as NJCU senior anchor ERYN CULLY (Medford, NY/Patchogue-Medford, NY) scored nine straight strikes heading into the final frame, but left the 10 pin standing on her first ball of the 10th frame, before finishing with a 279.
ESPN2 will televise the championship on a one-day tape delay on Easter Sunday, April 11 from 1-2:30 pm.
