Northwestern Ohio’s Jyles Matthews was second with 1,149, Lindenwood’s Emmanuel McPherson finished fourth with 1,135 and Wisconsin-Whitewater’s James Stewart placed fifth with 1,124. Southern Nazarene’s Brandon Handog achieved perfection in Game 2.
The women’s side was closer, but in the end, the McKendree women won by 70 pins over Lindenwood (8,224-8,154). McKendree was led by Sarah Chilvers, who placed second with 1,029, and Lexus Petrich, who finished fourth with 976. Northwestern Ohio’s Olivia Fehlner led the women’s field with 1,107, while Milligan’s Emily Cheesman (979) and Lindenwood’s Hailey Bozych (969) were third and fifth, respectively.
