Wildcat Keglers Suffer Defeat At Molloy Invitational

MINEOLA, N.Y. - The Daemen College women's bowling team returned to tournament action for the first time since mid-October today by partaking in the Molloy College Lions Invitational held at Sheridan Lanes of Mineola. The Wildcats suffered five defeats today, falling to 10-16 overall this season.

All five matches today featured Baker-style scoring.

The day opened with a 903-833 loss to the tournament hosts, before the Wildcats dropped a 834-765 decision to Chestnut Hill College. A tight match with Roberts Wesleyan College followed, but the Redhawks emerged with a 770-765 win in what was Daemen's closest defeat since a three-point loss (768-765) to Thiel College on Oct. 18, 2015.

The Wildcats closed the day with back-to-back defeats to Kutztown University (901-792) and St. Peter's University (838-655). Four of Daemen's five opponents today are ranked in the top-50 of the latest collegiate bowling RPI rankings, including Kutztown which is the highest of the group at No. 39.

Sophomores Kaitlyn O'Hara (Clarence Center, N.Y./Clarence) and Cassandra Johnson (Buffalo, N.Y./MSTP Seneca), along with freshmen Rachel Steele (Rensselaer, N.Y./Columbia), Katie Good (Hamburg, N.Y./Frontier) and Megan Racinowski (Cheektowaga, N.Y./Cheektowaga) comprised the Wildcats' lineup in all five matches today.
