READING, PA –  The Monmouth University bowling team earned a 17th place finish at the 10th Annual Kutztown Invitational this weekend at Hiester Lanes.

Monmouth finished 5-8 during the three-day tournament against a loaded field with nine top-10 opponents and 17 nationally ranked teams. The Hawks posted victories over Duquesne and St. Francis Brooklyn. 

For the fifth consecutive competition senior Jackie Evans led the Hawks individually, as she took 23rd among individuals with an average of 208.40 over five traditional games.

WEEKEND NOTES 
"We ended on a strong note going 3-0 on day 3, but failed to execute consistently enough the first two days to put us higher in the bracket. Our average overall improved but out single pin conversion percentage was sub par. We need to do a better job of cleaning the deck in our first two days of competition." - Director of Bowling Karen Grygiel
- The No. 24 ranked Hawks defeated Duquesne and St. Francis Brooklyn for their two wins during Friday's Baker matches.
