The Youngstown State bowling team earned four head-to-head wins in a solid bounce-back day at the Track Kat Klash on Saturday at Emerald Lanes in Houston, Texas.
The Penguins surpassed 920 in three of their five matches and topped out at 1,033. Youngstown State finished 12th through the two days of qualifying and will begin bracket play against Jackson State at 9:20 a.m. Eastern.
"We have learned a lot as a unit these past two days, and today we showed what kind of heart we have. I'm proud of the way we battled together today and proud that we got back to Penguin Bowling the last two matches. This experience will prove invaluable heading into tomorrow and as the season progresses."
The Penguins lost 960-789 against No. 8 North Carolina A&T to begin the day, and they followed that with four straight wins. The run of victories started with a 926-924 triumph over No. 20 Duquesne, and YSU edged Southern 780-773 in its third match. Youngstown State then had its best total of the weekend so far in a 1,033-823 victory over Prairie View A&M, and the Penguins finished the qualifying rounds by beating No. 14 Tulane 969-909.
Emma Dockery was the top individual finisher for Youngstown State, placing 22nd with a 964 set. The junior was consistent all day as she bowled between 181 and 204 in all five games. Emma Wrenn's 257 game against Prairie View A&M carried her to a 936 set and a 28th-place finish. Sarah Florence placed 41st with an 883, and YSU's other five bowlers each competed in the other two spots in the lineup.
