GREENSBURG, Pa. - The Daemen College women's bowling team placed third out of nine teams at the Brother Patrick Lacey Memorial Tournament today, winning three of four matches. The tournament, held at Hillview Lanes, was hosted by Saint Vincent College. The Wildcats now stand at 23-20 on the season.
Daemen, which was looking to repeat as tournament champion, got off to a good start with wins over Ursuline College (783-754), Medaille College (894-852) and Penn State Altoona (962-493) during the preliminary rounds. The Wildcats came up short during the semifinals against Medaille (881-812), ending their chances to take home the championship hardware. Daemen capped the day with an 899-798 win over Villa Maria College. The Villa Maria result did not count in the final standings, as the Vikings are not a NCAA member school.
Sophomore Alex Hasiotis (Rochester, N.Y.) was named to the all-tournament team after posting a 193.0 average over the five games. She bowled a 205 during the win over Medaille and posted a team-best 209 during the semifinal loss to Medaille.
Fellow sophomores Adrianna Pencek (Dunkirk, N.Y.) and Christina Aldridge (Webster, N.Y.) also enjoyed a solid day. Pencek bowled all five games and posted a 174.0 average. She bowled a team-best 213 during the win over Medaille and followed up with a 182 against Penn State Altoona. Aldridge posted the best score of the day for Daemen, as she rolled a 234 during the win over Penn State Altoona. She also posted a 180 against Villa Maria and posted a 185.8 average over four games.
Junior Katie Good (Hamburg, N.Y.) and sophomores Alex Syrotynski (East Greenbush, N.Y.) and Katlyn Newberry (Rochester, N.Y.) also competed for the Wildcats today. Good fired a 174 during the win over Penn State Altoona and posted a 161.0 average over four games. Syrotynski bowled a 187 against Villa Maria and finished with a 164.8 average over four games.
