UMES ends break with first place finish at Mid-Winter Classic
01/19/10
Having more than a month off may make some teams a little rusty, but the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) Lady Hawks used it to rest and hone their skills as they came back sharp, rolling to an 11-3 mark and first place in the 2010 Mid-Winter Classic. Three Hawks averaged over 215 and two were named to the All-Tournament Team as UMES dominated the 14 team field.
Dominican Republic national team member, Paula Vilas (pictured right) of Santo Domingo, was the top average bowler of the event, posting a 220.33 in three games with a pin fall of 661. She didn't bowl enough games to make the All-Tournament Team however.
No worries; Martha Perez of Bogota, Colombia, and Kristina Frahm of Oswego, Ill., both did, averaging 216.80 and 215.40 respectively, good enough for fourth and sixth place overall with pinfalls of 1084 and 1077 respectively.
Anggie Ramirez (pictured left) of Bogota, Colombia, was the only other Hawk in the top 25 of the 83 bowler field, averaging a 189.40 with a 947 total in five games.
UMES, now 56-18 overall, was 5-0 in team games with wins over Prairie View A&M (985-863), Stephen F. Austin (929-837), Valparaiso (1000-955), current National Champion Nebraska (1114-943) and Minnesota State Mankato (1040-1033).
It wasn't just team games that the Lady Hawks excelled in however. They also posted a 6-3 mark in Baker games.
On the opening day UMES topped Mississippi Valley State (729-459), Winston-Salem State (750-593) and Alabama State (836-567) and dropped a pair of matches to Central Missouri (CMU) (708-734) and MEAC rival Morgan State (785-827) to go 3-2 on the day.
Day three brought a 3-1 mark in Bakers. They opened with a loss to Arkansas State (764-828) but quickly rebounded to win out, with victories over Alabama A&M (786-725), rival Delaware State (901-786) and Central Missouri (771-695).
Overall, UMES tallied 12,098 pins, 188 pins better than the Jennies of CMU. Delaware State was third, 239 behind the Hawks and Arkansas State was fourth. Nebraska, Valparaiso, Minnesota State-Mankato, Alabama A&M, Morgan State and Stephen F. Austin rounded out the top ten.
