DOVER, Del. - It was opening weekend for the fourth ranked women bowlers of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES). The Lady Hawks rolled through the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Northern Division, posting an 8-1 record, that one loss however was the only time UMES ran into #18 Delaware State University (DSU). It was also a chance for Head Coach Sharon Brummell to see her new line-up, one mixed with three freshmen and some key returnees.

The Hawks opened the meet with wins over Hampton (1002-898) and #14 Morgan State (1056-962). Next they ran into the Hornets and new coach Kim Terrell. DSU got the better if UMES in their first meeting, taking a 1021-921 win. The Lady Hawks quickly rebounded in head to head games, posting a 1000-729 win over Coppin State and a 906-848 win over Howard.

All-MEAC and All-NCAA performer Jessica Worsley (Brick, N.J./Brick Memorial) rolled the highest game of the day for UMES, a 248. Not far behind was All-American Laura Zanrucha (Binghamton, N.Y./Susquehanna Valley H.S.) who tallied a 241.

All in all the Hawks tallied ten games over 200. Worsley had three, adding a 218 and 222 to her 248. Zanrucha had a pair with a 215 and her 241 and freshman Katherine Brown (Level Green, Pa./Penn Trafford H.S.) also had a pair with a 221 and 227. Jamie Culbreth (Hochspeyer, Germany/Kaiserslautern American) rolled a 237 and freshmen Kristina Frahm (Oswego, Ill./Oswego East H.S.) and Martha Perez (Bogota, Colombia/English School) had a 224 and 213 respectively.

 

 

Brown in her two games averaged the highest pin fall at 224 while Worsley, who bowled in all five head to head games, averaged 208.4.

On day two UMES ran through the Baker games, picking up four wins. They topped #14 Morgan State, Hampton, Coppin State and Howard. Against the Pirates of Hampton UMES posted four straight 200 games to tally 875 pins.
