I was really pleased with the team’s performance. We bowled so well and I was really proud of the girls. When the shot broke down and we had to keep moving left, we all stuck with it and we did our best. We ended up placing 14th, so we were very pleased.

Those two tournaments basically gave us the confidence we have what it takes to make it to sectionals, and maybe even to the nationals level. So it gave us a lot of confidence.

It was a little bit of a factor. I came here mainly for nursing school, but having a bowling team definitely made it my top choice by far.

I expect all of us, as the team, as a whole to attend sectionals and even go to the national level. We all have the confidence that we can do it and even for some of us in singles, we think that we can do really well in sectionals as well.
