Pitt-Bradford Finishes Third At 2018 AMCC Championship

The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford women's bowling team finished third in the 2018 Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Championship Tournament Saturday hosted by Medaille at Classic Lanes.

The host school Medaille took the AMCC title while Mount Aloysius finished as the AMCC Runner-Up.

The No. 4 seed heading into the day's action New Jersey City was unable to make the trip due to traffic problems.

"The girls bowled very well today and they all improved their overall averages," Head Coach Sarah Foley said. "Haley bowled well and continued to push through despite having bad breaks and struggling to see her mark from a reflection on the lanes. I'm very proud of Bryce who averaged 1.5 pins over her baker average. Bryce and Kelsey only had eight opens for the day.

I'm proud of the girls for giving it their all this season and finishing 3rd in our conference."

Pitt-Bradford opened the day facing Medaille and fell four games to two, 1,077-975 in total pinfall.

The Panthers were then credited with the victory playing against New Jersey City, rolling 637 pins.

However, Pitt-Bradford had its tournament run cut short as it fell to Mount Aloysius, 890-812, and was eliminated with its second loss.

Haley Ward was named to the AMCC's All-Tournament Team as she averaged 16.51 pins.

Kelsey Hammons posted a team-best 17.83 pins average, while Bryce Holm averaged 15.69 pins.

Jenna Lofaro bowled an average of 14.03 pins and Abbey Kalin averaged 13.62 pins.

For seniors Abbey Kalin and Haley Ward, the day's action wraps up their careers as Pitt-Bradford student-athletes.

Ward Honored As Women's Bowling All-AMCC

Senior Haley Ward of the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford women's bowling team has been named to the All-Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Team, officials announced Thursday.

"Haley has earned her spot on the All-Conference team," Head Coach Sarah Foley said. "Her stats speak for themselves about how well she bowled her senior year. But her stats are not the only reason she has earned a spot on this team. She is an outstanding captain and teammate. She showed sportsmanship on and off the lanes and demonstrated great leadership during this whole season.

"She has represented our conference very well and has been a great role model for our student-athletes. At our conference meets, Haley has demonstrated not only what is expected of a Panther, but what is expected to be a bowler for the AMCC. I'm proud of Haley for everything that she has accomplished this year."

The Machias, N.Y., native posted a 16.3 baker average this season and averaged 172.84 pins in team format.

This season, her single-game high in team format was a score of 208 on Jan. 27.

In AMCC play, she averaged 176 pins in team format, and her performance in the AMCC Championships elevated her conference baker average to 16.17.

Ward represented the Panthers on the AMCC All-Tournament Team at the conference championships, which she helped to a third-place finish.
