14 years after starting her international career with a runner-up finish at the QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup in Lisbon, Portugal, Clara Juliana Guerrero of Colombia lifted the trophy after winning the 50th edition of the prestigious event at Sky Bowling Center in Wroclaw, Poland.

The 32-year-old two-time World Champion, who led the match play round earlier today to earn the No. 1 seed, defeated Sin Li Jane (right) in a high-scoring title match best-of-three games format, two-games-to-one.

Guerrero (pictured left with Pat Ciniello, President of QubicaAMF Worldwide, LLC.), who also owns a World Ranking Masters title, a European Bowling Tour title and a PBA regional title, took the first game, 239-234, but the Malaysian national team member leveled the match with big 257-243 win in game two.

Guerrero started the deciding third game with eight consecutive strikes and never looked back. She finished with two spares for a 265-211 victory. Guerrero toppled 747 pins in three games, a record for the World Cup.

Li Jane had to go the distance in the semifinal match against No. 3 seed, Brittni Hamilton (right), before she ousted the Team USA member, 2-1. Hamilton took a 1-0 lead behind a 235-181 win in the opening game. The Malaysian rebounded with a 236-234 win in game two to force a decider. She advanced to the title match with a 213-204 win.
