The recruiting process is full of exciting possibilities. To unlock your full potential and receive scholarship offers by the end of your junior year of high school, it's essential to start building relationships at least a year or two earlier, opening doors to a world of opportunities.

Hearing that Lillie was named the AMCC Bowler of the Year last month was very exciting, but now the National Tenpin Coaches Association DIII Player of the Year....well that is extra lit, fire, slay and whatever else is said these days exciting!
Congratulations Lillie!

Congratulations Tegan and Lillie for capturing the team doubles championship at our final night of practice and pizza party. The roommates ruled in the end of a 2 game match between teams made up of our players. Hoping for more trophies in your future.

CONGRATULATIONS LILLIE! Well deserved and as voted on by all the other coaches in the conference. Was sure nice to see all that good bowling this season.

The team heads to Pittsburgh today for some practice time to get ready for this weekend's championship. Then it's a first round rematch with last season's opening opponent Hilbert College, Friday at 10 am, with the winner moving onto the next round.

A number of close call losses along with the one win were part of an interesting day at this past Saturday's Roc City Classic hosted by Roberts Wesleyan. The team fell to Daemen by 15 pins in game 1 and by just 2 pins to William Smith in game 2, before losing to the host team game 4, and then getting a win verses D'Youville game 5. Everyone did a good job hanging in there and making efforts and adjustments to battle the lowest scoring lane condition of the year. Chelsea Wayne led the way and also just missed the all tournament team by one spot with her 856 total and 171 average for the event. And Dee Dee Elijah came back after a slow start to average 192 for the final 3 games. It's a week off for spring break before hittting the practice lanes next week to get ready for the AMCC Championship March 20-22 in Pittsburgh.

The team heads to Rochester today for the ROC City Classic tomorrow hosted by Roberts Wesleyan. Five traditional games against four of our fellow teams from New York will determine this year's champ. This will be our last tune up before the AMCC Conference Championship in two weeks. As ususal, you can catch all the action here starting Saturday at 10:25 am.

On the lanes and on the town.

What an eventfull weekend at the Niagara University Brunswick Spring Tournament over the weekend. After a slow start on the very oily lane conditions, the team bounced back to average 179 for the next 8 games. A best ever stretch which included a 914 loss to Mercyhurst, only 2 individual games under 160 out of 15, and 7 Baker games over 190, including a 225 and a season high 247. That led to 3 wins and a ninth place finish overall. We saw the positive effect of very sanded, stronger equipment, different angles, and ball speeds to help battle the longer and ever changing lane patterns. And our first loss to upcoming AMCC Championship opponent Hilbert was a reminder to keep working and try to finish even stronger at the end of the season. With those good scores for many teams though comes a result of the non starters not getting much playing time, as those in the lineup are bowling well and you are trying to make your way up the leaderboard. And when that happens it is nice to see those players, including ours and other teams, still getting their practice in, rooting on and being excited about their teammates success, learning from watching the others who are bowling really well, and getting inspired to keep improving and helping their chances to score more when they get their chance. Add to that a trip to the Hard Rock Cafe and Niagara Falls, and that was indeed a full weekend.
The team will practice the next two weeks in preparation for the Rock City Classic March 7 hosted by Roberts Wesleyan.
