Team USA's Brittni Hamilton (pictured left) of Wood Ridge, N.J., posted the highest set of the day at the National Bowling Stadium to maintain her lead and earn high qualifier honors at the 2014 United States Bowling Congress Queens presented by Storm.

The 24-year-old right-hander entered the final five games of qualifying Monday with a 49-pin advantage over the 178-player field and posted games of 204, 260, 190, 268 and 236 for a 1,158 third-round effort. She finished qualifying with a 15-game total of 3,484, a 232.27 average.

Tannya Roumimper (above right) of Indonesia sits in second place with 3,390, and Team USA member Shannon O'Keefe (right) of Arlington, Texas, is third with 3,348.

"I just kept my swing loose all week and got in a groove early on," said Hamilton, who earned $800 for being the high qualifier. "I was able to keep that going all three days, which was awesome. The confidence is really high right now, but the pins drop tomorrow, and it's a whole new game. I'm going to take it one game at a time and see what happens."

The field this week featured competitors from 10 countries, and after 15 games of qualifying over three days, the top 32 competitors now advance to the double-elimination match-play bracket. Match play begins Tuesday at 1 p.m. EDT.

Defending USBC Queens champion Diana Zavjalova of Latvia finished qualifying with a 3,201 total, placing her in a tie for 17th place. She was guaranteed at least the No. 32 seed as last year's winner but was able to improve her seeding after averaging more than 213 at the NBS this week.

The final spot in the match-play bracket was determined in a one-game roll-off after Kerry Smith of Lititz, Pa., and Shayna Ng of Singapore each finished qualifying with 3,137. Ng defeated Smith, 214-182, and will face Hamilton in the first round of match play.

Match play will conclude Wednesday, and the final five players will advance to the stepladder finals, which will be televised live on ESPN2 on July 3 at 7 p.m. Eastern. The winner will take home the coveted tiara and $20,000 of the more than $91,000 prize fund, which includes a $20,000 contribution by presenting sponsor Storm.

All of the qualifying rounds and match play competition at the 2014 Queens are being broadcast live on BowlTV. The Queens is open to any female USBC member.
