EMMITSBURG, Md. (September 29, 2023) – This Sunday marks the first day of NCAA bowling competition and Mount St. Mary's is set to take full advantage with a dual match versus the Chestnut Hill College Griffins.   
 
FORMAT: Competition consists of two Quint Baker rounds and a best-of-seven round.
 
ABOUT THE MOUNT: The Mountaineers crossed the 80-win threshold for the second consecutive year, winning 62.5 percent of their games. Tournament victories include the Mount Shootout for the third time as a program, and the Virginia Union Invitational in 2022.
 
Coach Kenneth DeGraaf returns for his sixth year, joined by Barbara Hawes who moves from the lineup to the staff. Trishelle Leal Uribe is back following a successful freshman campaign, finishing second in the record books for Baker spares and top five for both overall fill percentages. Alyssa Alexander leads a core of underclassmen, including three newcomers, as the lone senior.  
 
SCOUTING CHESTNUT HILL: The Griffins finished the 2022-23 season at 40-48 with a top tournament finish of second place at the Wildcat Invitational and two wins in the conference championship. Maddie Gannon received Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Bowler of the Year honors but graduated after the year. Jess Hollabaugh was a Second Team selection and is returning as a senior.
 
ALL-TIME SERIES: Mount St. Mary's holds the decisive upper hand with 14 wins in 15 tries.
