The Calumet women and Vincennes men earned titles after making their way through the match-play bracket at the Trailblazer in Terre Haute, Indiana, this past weekend.
The Calumet women qualified second overall for the eight-team bracket after four traditional games and 16 Baker games at Terre Haute Bowling Center and defeated top seed, Marian, in the best-of-five title match, 3-2. Calumet knocked off Ball State in the semifinals, 3-1, while Marian swept Purdue, 3-0, to advance to the championship round.
Marian's Taylor Davis was the only bowler on the women's side to average more than 200 for her four-game set and cruised to the top individual spot with an 875 total (218.75 average). Calumet's Lauren Hart (787) and Elizabeth Kramer (786) finished in second and third, respectively.
Vincennes also qualified as the No. 2 seed and captured the win with a 3-2 victory over Illinois in the men's bracket final. Vincennes swept Purdue, 3-0, to make it to the title round, while Illinois, the No. 8 seed, needed to win three matches to advance to the finals, including a win over top seed Calumet, 3-1, in the quarterfinals, and Marian, 3-0, in the semifinals.
A pair of Purdue teammates collected the top individual honors on the men's side, as Zach Dohner and Zach Weidman led the way for the Boilermakers. Dohner paced the field with an 879 total, a 219.75 average, while Weidman finished second with 836. Marian's Baylen Shoemaker was third with 827.
