JONESBORO, Ark. – The No. 14 UAB bowling team inched its way two spots up the leaderboard on the second day of the Mid-Winter Classic.
"Today was an interesting day," head coach Michelle Crews said. "We average significantly better than yesterday but, with a tougher schedule, our competitors just kept bowling slightly better. While we always want to win, we made major improvement from yesterday and are very happy with our position in the standings in this very competitive field."
UAB opened the day with a 1,001-946 loss to McKendree. The Blazers then fell to, tournament host, Arkansas State 1,061-1,025 in game two. Tulane edged UAB 1,053-1,046 in game three while Drury defeated the Blazers 994-903 in the fourth game of the day. Game five was a 1,002-973 win over LA Tech to end the day on a high note.
Taylor Russell continued her stellar season and sits in the third place individually in the event. The Mississippi native bowled four 200+ games for a 230.20 average.
Samantha Johnson also edged the 200+ mark with a 200.40 average over five games.
UAB is paired with Stephen F. Austin in the first round of the best of seven Baker matches set to begin Sunday morning.
