Tough Lost For
Lady Bowlers
The Lady Tigers lost a tough match Saturday, February 7th to the
undefeated Wapakoneta Redskins with a score of 2582-2463 at Westgate
Lanes in Lima. “Going into the match the girls knew that this was going
to be a tough match and the girls would have to bowl there “A” game in
order to win and have a 3 way tie for first place in the conference,”
said Coach Phlipot. Bowling at Westgate Lanes is never easy as the
lanes are old wood and usually are very dry, meaning the ball will hook
a lot more and create tougher angles to the pocket. Leading the way for
the Tigers where Megan Ward (178-166), Hannah Niekamp (174), Olivia
Breuning (161-170).
In the first game the Tigers started out a little slow losing 848
to 784 causing the Tigers to have a 64 pin deficit going into game
two. Coach Phlipot reminded the girls to keep their heads up
knowing there was a lot more bowling ahead. In game two the Lady Tigers
lost 849-764. Unfortunately, the Tigers spare game cost
them. The Tigers were down 149 pins heading into baker games and
were hoping for a comeback. The Lady Tigers came out firing in the
first 4 Bakers games 222,194,161,212 to Wapakoneta’s 169,182,193,169.
Heading into the last baker game the Tigers where down 76 pins and
Coach Phlipot encouraged the girls to remain positive. The last game
got off to a slow start and the Tigers fell to the Redskins.
This was a tough loss said Coach Phlipot, “I told the girls I was proud
that they didn’t give up and they really made Wapakoneta work hard and
earn the win.” Progress was seen in the girls’ baker games. This
has been something we’ve really worked hard as a team to improve.
The Tigers will continue to work hard in practice knowing that
tournament play is just two weeks away.
The last conference match against LCC at 20th Century Lanes in Lima is
on Saturday February 14th. The Lady Tigers will start tournament
