INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy women's bowling team competed in its season opener over the weekend, placing eighth amongst a field of 24 programs. Rookie Hannah Weigle finished 10th as an individual, totaling 1,213 pins over six games and eclipsing 200 four times.
 
Fellow freshman Carolyn Edmisten also finished in the top 20 with three games north of 200.
 
This season marks the first time UIndy fields two teams, Crimson and Grey, in program history. The Grey squad placed fifth among other similar opponents.
 
"What a great weekend for UIndy Bowling," said head coach Cam Estes. "I was impressed by how quickly the early-season jitters faded and how everyone worked hard and kept improving all weekend."
 
Weigle rolled a weekend-best 246, narrowly outside the program's top three for a single game. The freshman capped her first collegiate weekend with another 200 performance to surpass 1,200 pins.
 
Four Hounds recorded at least one 200 game, including Edmisten (three), Issy Davenport (two), and Lindsey Reardon (one). Reardon, competing for the Grey team, knocked down 1,037 pins and averaged 172.8 over six games. Madi Pigott also knocked down 1,000 pins for the Grey team, highlighted by a 190 in the penultimate round.
 
Alyssa Cash and Taylor Stace nearly reached the 1,000-in plateau at 999 and 998, respectively. Competing for the Crimson team, Stace sandwiched her weekend as an individual with a pair of 185s, while Cash finished north of 170 in her final two games.
 
Both teams combined for eight 200+ games during the Baker format, with the Crimson squad rolling 213 twice.
