The Alma College Women's Bowling team participated in the Orange and Black Tournament in Daytona, OH on Saturday, Oct.18. After finishing the qualifying round in seventh place, the Scots advanced to bracket play where they finished in the top six out of 24 teams.

Alma began play at the tournament by bowling six regular games and 16 Baker games in the qualifying block. Following the qualifying rounds, the Scots sat in seventh place.

Fr. Catherine Pomeroy led Alma in the opening round, rolling a 1209 series in six regular games. Jr. Lillie Miller recorded a 1202 and Sr. Jessica Cords tallied a 1154 heading into bracket play.

Following the qualifying round, the top-eight teams were put in bracket play to decide a winner. Top-seeded Central Missouri opted out of the tournament due to time constraints, so Alma entered the final round in sixth.

The Scots won the first game of the best-of-five bracket round 224-202 before dropping the next three matches to fall 3-1.

Alma hits the lanes again on Saturday, Nov. 1, for the American Heartland #1 Tournament held in Columbus, OH.
