The Bowling Green men and Wright State women earned victories last week at the American Heartland Intercollegiate Bowling Conference I (AHIBC) event to highlight another busy weekend in USBC Collegiate action.
Super Bowl Lanes in Canton, Michigan, played host to the men’s field, while Wayne Bowl in Wayne, Michigan, hosted the women’s field. The format at the AHIBC I included five traditional team games and 12 Baker games, with total pinfall determining the winners.
The Bowling Green men trailed Davenport by 171 pins after five traditional games but turned up the heat during Baker action. The Falcons averaged 208.66 to overcome the deficit and win the title by 19 pins.
Individually, three players rolled 300 games, including the top two players. Toledo’s Ben Thomas and Notre Dame-Ohio’s Ryan Ashby tossed 300 games during the first game of competition.
Thomas eventually took the individual title with a five-game pinfall total of 1,168, a 233.60 average, while Ashby was a close second with 1,163. There was a tie for third place between Wright State’s Conor Novak and Michigan State’s Jason Overmyer (1,142). Rounding out the top five was Bowling Green's Steven Kocher (1,138).
Anthony Evans of Notre Dame-Ohio also rolled a 300 game and finished 21st individually.
The Wright State women entered Baker competition in third place and trailed Indiana Tech by 180 pins. The Raiders used a consistent Baker effort, posting sets of 745, 850 and 790 to climb the standings and come away with the crown.
Bowling Green's Britni Hosterman captured individual honors with a five-game total of 1,151, a 230.20 average. Notre Dame-Ohio’s Taylor Sturm was second with 1,121, and followed by Alma’s Brianna Pitre (1,111), Sarah Prince of Bowling Green (1,054) and Indiana Tech’s Jamiee Jaskie (1,045).
