Post-Event Quotes:
Head Coach
Leann Sullivan
On the team's performance this weekend:
"We have a really young team. It's kind of tough because of all the excellence we've had in the past. We have a lot of freshman athletes who've been stepping up, and who did all weekend. Peyton (Attig) bowled really well on Friday. Karlee (Barton) and Mary (Conneely) well on Saturday, and Karlee and Peyton both well today. It was cool to see their intensity on the lanes and see them grow as athletes. Lauren (Price) and Emma (Kuhn) bowled phenomenally all day in the four and five spots. Lauren struck out multiple times for us to get some wins. Total pinball didn't reflect how well we bowled as a team."
