Red Flash bowlers shine
READING - The St. Francis women's bowling team improved upon its Day 1 performance at the 2011 Kutztown Invitational, which is being held at Heister Lanes in Reading, and sits in 21st-place with one day of competition remaining.
The Red Flash finished the day with a 1-5 traditional format record, but bowled consistently better scores and three of their losses came against Top-10 nationally ranked programs, including No. 1 Maryland-Eastern Shore.
Vanderbilt leads the team race with a total pinfall of 11,291, while Maryland-Eastern Shore is second (11,291), Fairleigh Dickinson is third (10,950), Kutztown is fourth (10,770) and Delaware State is fifth (10,680). St. Francis is in 21st out of 28 teams with a 9,416.
SFU lost its first five matches before defeating Medaille, 935-870, to finish the day on a positive note.
"What a great response by every member of this team," said St. Francis coach Tom Falbo. "Our adjustments from yesterday paid off. Our consistency was phenomenal all day. We played some of the top ranked teams and in the five matches we lost, those five teams averaged a combined 1,017 to beat us. Our top scorers on the day had some tough carry, which could have made a good day even better. I'm proud of our ladies.''
