The Valpo bowling team posted a 2-1 record on Sunday in the final day of action at the Columbia 300 Saints Invitational to finish bracket play in 11^th place.

How It Happened

• Valpo began bracket play against Drury and earned a four-game sweep in the best-of-seven baker format. The Brown and Gold won all four games by double figures and averaged a 205 over the four games, highlighted by a 227 game two and a 219 game three.
• The win advanced Valpo to a matchup with Tusculum. Valpo led the best-of-seven match 3-2 following a 214 game five, but Tusculum rallied to take games six and seven and send Valpo to a 4-3 defeat.
• Valpo’s tournament finale came against Lewis, a match in which the Brown and Gold quickly fell behind 2-0. But a three-game string of 220, 234 and 214 turned the tables and put Valpo in front, 3-2. Lewis rolled a 226 in game six to send the match to a decisive game seven, but it was Valpo which earned the 4-3 win thanks to a 190-156 victory in game seven to secure 11^th place in the 19-team field.
