The Youngstown State women's bowling team closed out its first tournament of the spring with a 2-1 record in bracket play to finish in 11th place at the KU Invitational. The tournament was hosted by Kutztown University at Hiester Lanes.
YSU beat No. 18 Adelphi 4-2 to start the morning in the best-of-seven Baker format. The match was highlighted by a 250 game for the Penguins in game four that tied the match at 2-2. YSU went on to win the final three games of the match.
The Penguins then lost in six games to No. 13 LIU Brooklyn in the second round, but they bounced back to beat No. 22 North Carolina A&T 4-1 to finish the day one spot ahead of where they started.
YSU freshman Rachel Darrow was named to the All-Tournament Second-Team for her performance on Saturday. Darrow averaged 206.83 in the six team matches to finish 11th in the individual standings. It was the first time in program history that a Penguins bowler earned all-tournament honors.
