KENMORE, N.Y. - The Daemen College women's bowling team won three of their five matches today to open the Medaille Brunswick Invitational at Classic Lanes. It marks the third tournament of the 2021-22 season for the Wildcats who are competing against seven other teams: Medaille, D'Youville, Mercyhurst, Penn State Behrend, Pitt-Bradford, Roberts Wesleyan and Walsh. 

After opening the day with an eight-pin setback (834-826) to Roberts Wesleyan, the Wildcats picked up back-to-back wins over Pitt-Bradford (1,022-825) and Penn State Behrend (752-728). A loss to Mercyhurst (967-788) interrupted the momentum, but Daemen finished the day strong with a 908-784 defeat of Walsh. All five matches were of the traditional variety. 

The Wildcats sit in fourth place in the total pinfall standings with 4,296 pins after day one action. Tournament host Medaille leads the standings with 4,787 pins, followed by Mercyhurst (4,728) and Roberts Wesleyan (4,408). 

Following today's results, the Wildcats' overall record sits at 12-12.
