SMYRNA, Tenn. (March 10, 2024) – By a difference of 166 pins, Mount St. Mary's bowling sees its run for a berth in the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Intercollegiate Team Championships come to an end at the Sectional in Smyrna, Tennessee.
 
The Mountaineers finished with a total pinfall of 12,213 over the 64 Baker game marathon weekend to earn their fifth place ranking. That works out to a one-game average of 190.8 for the tournament. After falling from fourth to sixth in the first half of the day, the Mount fought back, hitting their stride in games 54-58 with four games over 200.
