Mount Aloysius bowler Rayissa Amon was named to the All-Tournament Team at the conclusion of the competiton.

Amon recorded a baker average of 20.05, which was good for third among all individual bowlers. She helped lead the Mounties to a 3-2 record after day one.

After day one the Mounties also led all teams in total pinfall. Amon continued her pin domination on day one with a 19.9 average, while Jill Vietmeier rolled a 19.0, and Jessica Bello rounded out the top-3 with a 18.9.

In day three of competition on Sunday, the teams went into a bracket to determine the champion. The Mounties dropped their first two matches before ending the competiton by defeating New Jersey City by a 4-1 scoreline. Top finishers on Sunday included Bello with a 19.1 baker average and Craig with her first top-2 finish at a 18.6 average.

"Despite our best baker weekend this season in both pinfall and average, we were not able to secure the wins needed against many of our competitors. This team shows a lot of potential and determination, and 2016-2017 is going to find us better prepared and more experienced in critical situations," Head Coach Barbara Jones said. "Mount Aloysius bowling has turned the corner and this program is going to be a contender in every tournament that we enter. I congratulate this young team on a highly successful season and commend them for their patience and open minded approach!"
