NU Women Bowling at Nat'l Championship Tourney

its very difficult for all of the events to peak at the same time. The skers have been here before though and maybe they benefit from experience. Here's hoping we can bring home the trophy.

 
They lost to UMES, who won the title for the 2nd year in a row.. Their other loss was to Fairleigh Dickenson, who finished 2nd. They never should have lost to FD, who they had a 3-0 lead on only lose the next 4 games to drop the match 4-3... As far as women's team excelling, they always "excel" to this level, so it's really nothing new. However, the team wasn't as good as they finished this year. They overachieved a bit. While they were a top 8 team, they weren't one of the top 3 or 4. Bowling being one sport I understand more than any others, they just weren't as talented this year as they have been in the past. Kayla Johnson is an absolute stud, but every other girl has her moments where she struggles a bit. They lose Johnson and Val Calberry this year, but get Elise Bolton, transfer from Sam Houston, who is one of the best female amateurs in the world. It'll be interesting to see how much longer Straub sticks around..

 
For those that care.... Elise Bolton is bowling today in the Intercollegiate Singles Championships (the United States Bowling Congress' national championships) at Sun Valley in Lincoln. She qualified for the bracketed portion of the event in 3rd of 16. They will resume bowling at 12:45 central. If you want to watch, they have live streaming online at http://www.youtube.com/bowltv . The ISC and ITC (team) events are the club level of bowling that most schools (and all men's school) have for bowling. This is what the women used to compete at before the NCAA picked up bowling.

 
Elise Bolton will bowl in the semi-finals at Sun Valley Lanes starting at 3pm on Saturday. The seating for that session will probably take place around 2:15pm. All events will be televised tape delayed on CBS College Sports in May.
