AMHERST, N.Y. — The East Coast Conference released its women's bowling weekly awards Thursday, with Kenzie Smolnik (Rochester, N.Y.) earning Rookie of the Week. 

Smolnik posted a 178.20 individual average and a 17.36 baker average at the Duquesne Invite this past weekend. 

The freshman posted a 38% strike percentage and a 65% spare conversion percentage over the weekend. Smolnik helped Daemen defeat Howard (3x), Coppin State, Duquesne, and Adelphi, placing fifth at the tournament.
