In front of her home state fans, senior All-American Kristina Frahm led the Hawk's charge at the 2010 National Collegiate Team Match Games.  Frahm averaged a 199.50 over six team games to finish 11^th in the field of 187 bowlers, helping the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) to a third place finish at the event.

Frahm, who tallied a pinfall of 1,197, posted three games of 200 or better over the six games, including a 225 in game one, a 215 in game two, and a 218 in game five.

Maria Rodriguez finished 14^th overall with a 198.50 average and a 1,191 pinfall.  She would top 200 on three occasions herself, posting a 215 in game one, a 224 in the fourth game and a 205 in the fifth game.  Martha Perez (Bogota, Colombia) also added a top 20 finish, coming in 19^th with a 193.667 average and knocking down 1,162 pins.  She had a pair of plus 200 games with a 211 in the first game and a 205 in game five.

Reigning MEAC Bowler of the Week, Anggie Ramirez averaged a 198.4 in just four games, posting a 256 in the second game.  Freshman Megan Buja and junior Paula Vilas both had a 201 in the final game of day one.

Coming off of two 1200s at last weekend's Hawk Classic, UMES posted scores of 1182, 1137, 1033, 1029, 1141 and 1010, a team average of 1088.67, for a solid showing.

UMES finished the day in fourth place with a pin count of 6532, just 39 pins out of third place McKendree.  Webber International led after the first day with 6,583 pins, 51 ahead of UMES.  Midland was in second with 6,573.

On day two, the field bowled five 4-Baker game matches, putting up enough pins to move up one spot to third.  UMES opened with an 849 in the first Baker, and followed it up with an 830 in the second.  They posted a 903 and an 877 in games three and four and concluded with their best Baker game of the day, a 905 in the fifth.

Day one leader Webber International fell all the way to sixth place while Midland, who was second after one day finished fourth right behind UMES with 10,806 pins.  McKendree also moved up a spot to finish second with 11,055 pins, 159 above UMES' 10,896.  Lindenwood came all the way from fifth place after day one to win the event with a grand total of 11,226 pins.

Each game was a block of four, meaning that UMES was essentially bowling three other teams in their block for both team and Baker formats.  In team games UMES was 15-3 while in Baker games they went 11-4 for a total of 26-7 at the event.  However, none of the Hawks competitors in this format were NCAA opponents so while the competition was tough, the Hawks' record is not impacted by the event.
