University of Maryland Eastern Shore Bowling Ranked No. 1

HACKENSACK, N.J.—It took 16 months, but the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) Women's Bowling Team has regained the number one ranking in the nation. The March poll of the National Tenpins Coaches Association (NTCA) featured a record breaking 21 members voting and eight of them cast the Lady Hawks as the first place team. Those eight votes, along with the other 13 voters gave UMES 566 total points and the top spot in the poll.

The move up is due to the recent play of the maroon and gray. They posted three straight tournament wins, collecting wins over many of the nation's top programs. They took home the hardware at the Lady Bulldog Classic, the Kutztown Invite and the Mid-Winter Classic. They took second place at the Holiday Classic, third at the Morgan State Invite and just won the USBC Chattanooga Sectional. The Hawks dethroned Vanderbilt who was the previous number one team. The Commodores collected eight first place votes themselves, but amassed 560 points, six shy of the UMES total. The Lady Hawk's schedule is one of the busiest in the nation as they sport an overall record of 93-26. That is 11 more wins than rival Delaware State.

DSU Hornets' title dream spoiled by Nebraska

CANTON, Mich. -- Delaware State's bid for its first NCAA title in any sport ended when the bowling team lost 4-2 to top-seeded Nebraska in the national semifinals Saturday. The No. 7-seeded Hornets were ahead 2-1 before the Cornhuskers won the last three games. "I am so proud of our team, and how hard the ladies worked all season long," said coach Kim Terrell-Kearney. "Certainly we are disappointed in coming up short of the championship, but we met our match [Saturday]. The loss [Saturday] takes nothing away from the great season we had."

No. 7 seed DSU falls in tourney semifinals

The Hornets were two wins away from the championship match after taking two of the first three games in the best-of-seven series. Nebraska won the first game 201-193 before Delaware State evened the match with a 215-149 win in game two. Freshman Brooke Peterson had strikes on each of her two throws. The Hornets took the lead in the match with a 204-156 victory in game three. Sophomore Angela Reynolds led the way with two strikes. Nebraska opened game four with four strikes en route to a 244-173 victory.
