WAUWATOSA, Wis. – After playing in their first tournament of the season last week, both Calumet College of St. Joseph bowling teams were back in action and looking to improve on their results from the Boilermaker Classic.

HOW IT HAPPENED

For the Crimson Wave men, only two individuals placed in the top 50, which put them in less than ideal position going into the baker rounds on Saturday. Robert Borowski (SO/Lexington, Ky.) led the way with a 25^th place finish on an average of 218.2. Teammate Tyler James (SR/Deltona, Fla.) was the next closest, finishing with a 206 average, good for 45^th. When it came to the overall team placing, the Wave finished 401 pins back of winner McKendree, settling for 12^th place overall.

The Lady Wave also saw their own struggles throughout the weekend in Wisconsin. No bowler placed in the top 50, and only two finished within the top 100. Lindsey Norton put together the best six game span for CCSJ, finishing in 51^st with a 173.67 average. The other competitor under the century mark was Samantha Johnson, who rolled her way to a 66^th place finish with an average of 166. The average results transferred to the team game as well. Cal College came in 15^th place with 8,038 pins, almost 900 back from eventual winner Lindenwood University.

WHAT'S ON DECK?

The men's team will be back in action in two weeks when they head to Indianapolis for the first of two times this season to participate at the Western Shootout on Oct 20-21. As for the women, they won't see the lanes in competitive play until next month, where they will play in the Falcon Classic on November 17^th at Interstate Lanes in Rossford, Ohio.
