LOCKPORT, Ill. – The UIndy women's bowling team wrapped up competition at the Storm Flyer Classic, building momentum with five straight wins to close the weekend on a high note.
Â
The team finished 19th overall among 22 teams, while
Serenity Jones paced the Greyhounds with a 58th-place individual performance.
Emily Heldman was just behind her freshman counterpart in 67th place.
Â
Most notably, UIndy competed against six top-25 programs at the tournament, including No. 1 Nebraska and No. 2 Vanderbilt. The Greyhounds battled head-to-head against a pair of GLVC foes, including 10th-ranked Maryville and unranked Quincy, defeating the latter team twice.
Â
Ebony Ward joined Jones with the team's best round of 213 against Quincy, while Heldman flirted with 200, as well, before finishing with a 193. Jones posted two 200+ games, rolling a 203 against the top-ranked Huskers.
Â
Elizabeth Estes brought her best against Nebraska, recording a team-high 212 during the game.
Â
UIndy really shined during the Baker best-of-7 bracket play format, earning three victories in as many chances. After defeating Quincy for the second time on the weekend, the Hounds earned an impressive come-from-behind win over Augustana after dropping the first three rounds. The Greyhounds combined to roll a 213 in game seven to pull off the comeback.
Â
The Greyhounds return to Royal Pin Western this weekend for the Hoosier Classic as part of USBC Collegiate Tier 1. Competition is slated for Saturday and Sunday.
